It kicked ***. My wife talked me into leaving the E at home, though. I figured that when someone is worried about something bad happening to it, and it does, then I'd feel pretty f@cking stupid about it.

I am definitely spoiled by the Benz - my wife's Pathfinder sucks on long drives!

I drove a honda passport (an Isuzu doppleganger) and I was like "puke:

Wow what a horrible car.

I'm not fond of SUV's at all...

I'm glad we have it - saves trying to stuff everything into the E when I go to Home Depot - but it sucks if you have to actually drive for a long distance. Cheap seats and stupid positioning. And LOUD - the wind howls at you through the a-pillar when you're at speed.

That's what I mean. A car should be quiet when you're driving at 75.

Yea I know what you mean...my wife (although quite intelligent) thinks I love the wagon more than I love her, therefore she wants nothing to do with my automotive craze...

I got everything today!

Did you see my post asking for a price on the driver's side window motor? How much do you want?

Are you able to get those sports off? I remember you were having a tough time a while back. If you can take them off and ship them, I'd be interested in knowing what you want for them.

Now have fun installing the oil sensor and doing a clean job on the temp sensor!!!

Let me see if I can sell my car first before I give you a quote on the window motor on the passenger side.

Haven't been able to get the sports off. Haven't bothered trying to get those off since I tried last time.

Driver's side, but sure - no problem.

I probably can't afford them right now anyway.
