On the way to Fresno. Weather was bad and we were late landing. Of course, I missed my connection and the rest were booked solid. Went to the rental car counter and all they had left was a Lincoln Towncar and a Mercedes GLK350. After careful consideration, I chose the Mercedes. It was brand new with only five miles on it.

I drove through some God awful weather including snow and torrential rain. The Mercedes handled well and I was doing 70 through the snow and mountains. 75 when the snow let up.

Overall, a very nice vehicle, but it feels and handles a lot like a Honda CRV, not the Mercedes feel I'm used to. I'm not really sure I would pay $40,000 plus for one. Oh yeah, the check engine light came on shortly after I arrived in Fresno. Seems to be ok though. I'll tell them about it when I turn it in Friday.
