I didn't notice your location until you mentioned New Britain. I lived there from 10/01 through 3/02 at the Fairway Apartments. I was working on a contract for ESPN. Didn't have the E300 with me though, I took the Jetta. I had to do the rear brakes on it last summer and was amazed at the amount of corrosion caused by just one (relatively mild) winter of salt exposure. Sure glad I did that last winter and not this one!
BTW, it looks like the car pictured in PJ's sticker doesn't have tinted windows. I found that pretty funny.
