The front of a W201 is really just a leaf collecting bucket

What's that Tom Cruise film where he starts a house of ill repute - tangerine dream music - over head railway sex but finishes up sweeping leaves?

...a W201 is just like Tom boy - little and irritating and sweeping up leaves...

UGH, I forgot about the black walnut trees in my yard... they drop TENNIS BALL size rocks on my car... and the squirrels LOVE to store them and the shells in various places in my cars...
oh, and the Pecan trees too...
Jeez, I've got a lot of trees in my yard... there are a few others I've not figured out what they are yet.

You're quite right I don't wanna be sweeping leaves (though I must say I'm open to new business opportunities)
