I LOVE all three - my favorite, though, out of the three is the Wheaton Terrier - big dog, great disposition, phenomenal coat (feels like cashmere) and since it's a Terrier - scrappy by nature. Good luck, you can't go wrong with either of them. I wish I could have taken the CLS off your hands but alas, wifey says next MB is going to be the 55 wagon.

That's ridiculous... someone needs to bust out the hair dryer and melt the snow so I can make it down next weekend.

I just heard the same depressing news this morning as I came into work... I'm really hoping for some 40+ degree days thurs and fri so I can make the drive safely down from NJ on friday night. I was pumped it got moved back since I have President's day off. Now, not so much.

here in PG Co and Howard Co we got the highest snow count...it's been madness somewhere like 4 ft or so....this is insane! More to come tonight...I would be so screwed if not for my rig...heard that the state is out of budget...hmmm wondering why it's taking so long to plow your neighborhood...that may be the reason. Makes me want to strap a plow on the front of my dodge diesel and go frelance as a plow for hire lol

and more snow coming up today, it feels like the motherland in DC. People seriously have no idea how to drive in snow. SUV drivers think that they are superior over the other drivers, they are doing 60 miles on a highways and then smash into other cars because no matter how good is AWD not much can be done being on icy road.

Hell, I'll even bet the MIR track day on the 28th is gonna be cancelled. They're not gonna plow the track so it'll have to melt. And it's gonna take a loooooooooong time to melt and get dry.

This sucks. The only good news is my wheels are ready. See the SL55 section.

It might get cancelled but they actually do push the snow off the track to a certain extent. Not the traditional plow where they use metal to scrape the pavement.

With regards to the tuning day, I talked with Tony last night. He bsaically said it is up to everyone who will be coming out to the tuning. I'm sure he will be posting up here shortly. However, if there is overwhelming support of doing the tuning day, he said he will attempt to arrange plans to come.

...at least that was the underlying message i received from him...


looks like thurs/fri should be sunny and clear, hi's near 40...at least here in NJ...though I think I saw a similar forecast in the VA/DC area.

Problem is, roads won't be passable until late week or this weekend. I've just heard that DC and MD have suspended plowing operations because the blizzard conditions are making it unsafe for the plow operators. Insane.

I've got another foot in Frederick and it's not supposed to stop snowing until tonight.

How would we be able to dyno with wet/slushy tires?
