Hey Frank, your thread got shut down NOT because of the subject...it was a worthwhile topic...it was when some turned the discussion into personal pot shots and insults...not sure how it got out of hand, but I think it morphed into a battle of the "G versus ML" off-road-worthiness.
I don't care personally, cause I had stated on that thread that I don't even DARE to take the ML out in the rain, thus ruining all of the undercarriage polishing I had painstakingly performed...
