Great photo! If you had the dogs along it would be a great "back-up plan" in the event of a break down....I can see it now....leaning out the drivers window yelling mush....

Strong rain gutters are a beautiful thing.

And apparently too expensive now even for those Neon-MBs.

It was clear that the PO of my W123 tested this. I'm guessing he put 4 or 5 of them in there at a time. Still can't get all the hair out of the shifter.

Only my retired sled dogs get to ride in the 300d, only when they're not shedding and during the winter when there's no chance of dirt!

As big as the sled is, it doesn't weigh very much (75 # max)...it just looks pretty silly

I got the same problem, I've gotten enough dog hair out of the 240D to make a quilt! At least I hope it's dog hair

When I first saw the pic with the sled on top I thought.....Hey! Cool spoiler!

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.
