Happy Thanksgiving

Here's to each and everyone spending quality time with family (the good ones), food, relaxation, and yourself.

I enjoy the banter in here, so hat's off to you and tip a brewskie (or foo foo fancy drink) for me as I'll be working.

Mandatory Benz content: l'm going to give thanks to my E500 for very likely saving my wife and me from a nasty situation when both tires on the left side got punctured at 65 mph. I posted the details last month, but if ever I felt the need to give thanks to a car and the company that made it, now's the time.

... and a happy holiday to you and yours.

I'm assuming from the handle that you're a controller? My thanks to all of them out there. Some of us may only be FLIBs but we definitely appreciate the work that ATC does.

On the topic of being thankful...I'm wondering whether my father-in-law will thank me or hate me after I take him to buy his first MB (a C280) this weekend.

Hey I've got over 1000 hours in bug smashers! nothing wrong with them!

As for the C280... I'd steer him into a CDI, then you're sure to have a happy "Dad"!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you too from a relatively new member. House is all decorated and lit up and my little 210 is parked warmly in the garage on this cold and snowy night.

Thank you, us Lexus lovers want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving too. I love Lexus, but I'm not a fanatic.
