Luckily I wasn't driving the Cayman. That would have been a treacherous snow plow. I borrowed my wife's X3 for the day.

Phew! Thats good. The people behind you would have have been happy with you clearing the road for them though.

Here is a fellow Wyoming E55.


The roads are great here. Going over the Chief Joseph scenic highway in the E is like nothing else.

Oops, just saw your post in the other thread. I bet the 285's grip pretty good. I am going to go with 275's in a month or two when I get summer tires. Your car is very well equiped. Sounds nice. I bet the V1 is nice to have.

Wow! Very clean. I like the tint. Mine needs a re-tint because they aren't very dark and the fronts are darker than the rear windows. There is also tape glue on the side, back window where the window sticker used to be. The glue is tinted over so I have to take the tint off to get the glue off. Was thinking about 25% but your 20% looks really good so I might do that.
Where is the closest MB dealer to you?

Billings, Montana is the nearest one. 85 miles.

Oh yeah, I just got a thing in the mail the other day from the one in Pocatello where I bought my first MB saying that they won't stock MB's anymore but they were opening a dealer in Billings. My closest is Denver which is about 125 miles or so. That sucks we are so far apart. Although both in Wyoming, we are in opposite corners, about as far apart as we could possibly get.

omg 85 / 125 miles apart from dealership...... I get upset that I have to drive 14 miles away to mine. You guys probably have to always keep a full tank of gas too just in case you dont see a gas station. haha

85 miles is not very much time in Wyoming. Not in comparison to other places. I have made it in about 52 minutes before.

Haha. There is a lot of gas in this state.

Negatory. None in Wyoming at all. None in Ft. Collins or Loveland either. Closest is MB of Westminster. That will be an expensive tow.
