New Orleans it ain't.
That's true, yeah.

I think the streets are fairly well laid out, most of it is in a grid. The result is instead of looking for "XYZ Avenue" you're searching for 800 East and 2,538 South, makes it easier.

This is probably a bit biased (I'm a European college student) and has nothing to do with diesels but while there's plenty to do outside and in the outdoors, there's absolutely nothing to do at night. Some of it is very LDS, some of it isn't.. I'm not LDS and living in an LDS city doesn't bother me, at least not the religion aspect of it. The south of Utah is nice but the north isn't the prettiest place on earth.

I don't take my cars to mechanics but for an MB, I'd use Werner's. I've heard good things from their customers and I buy parts from them, they seem fairly serious. I'd avoid the dealers.

For you SLC MB diesel owners, is there a kind of an owner's club? If not, would anybody be interested in a get together of sort?
