My Baby is out in the cold.

I dropped my baby off at Xaver's yesterday (local indi). I didn't want to take a chance in driving in snow today. It's in the lot and forecast says it'll get a foot of snow dumped on it tonight and tomorrow. I felt so bad I broke down and spent $70 for a car cover. It's the only prim Donna in the lot with a cover on it. Just hope the expected winds doesn't tear the cover off or get the attention of vandals.

No way would I leave my 500SL overnight outside my indy's place. If snow comes, he's just going to have to wait.

Xaver's is a highly reputable "Mercedes only" repair shop in existence for nearly 50 years. Sometimes trying to get an appointment for your MB is like trying to get an appointment with the Pope. Worth the wait though.

Your car will be fine! As long as you don't drive her home in SALTY wet roads!

The shop may not know it yet, but I intend to leave the car in their lot until the roads are dry and clean.
