Thanks guys for the nice thoughts and comments. I enjoy the looks of most all the Mercedes I see on this forum. I could do fast and furiuos thing like the nice Dr//AMG and many other beautiful mercedes, but I use my car for business purposes and it might be too much statement for clients, etc. I also agree with the mudflap issue, but again, I was starting to get a few paint chips on the bottom panels. They do protect the paint - and you kinda get used to them (LOL). I have had so many cars over the years, my good friend and I used to buy cars at the auctions in Penna. for many years and sell as an extra money maker. I can state that for its class, I like this E Series as one of the better cars for daily driving. I still have and old rabbit I use as a beater on snow days, In my opinion a rear wheel drive car is what driving is all about. This forum is very imformative and enjoyable. Thanks,
Bruce

If you want to know how crooked a stick is, just lay a straight one next to it.

It's not the tall sails that bring a ship to the port of destination, but the unseen wind.
