this is the first Ice I have gotten on my SD since I started driving it.


I just love the halo effect on the STAR...

John,
You are truly a Benz nut! What do you mean letting that car sit out in the weather like that?!

It looks like your passenger side washer sprayer isn't seated in the hood all the way.

I drove the Suburban during the ice storm - hence, no worthwhile pics.

Sorry, tech. Mid-January and all we've gotten so far in CT was about a 1/4" of slush. Not too purdy.

3" of ice here the Benz has not been out in a couple of weeks.

Roads are all clear today, might pick up the kids.

At least mine is black and if it had been outside would have been quicker to shed the ice.

should have posted pics of the Trailblazer... coated with a thick layer a few days back. The Benz is in the 50 degree garage until the snow melts and the salt is washed away. I do miss driving it though.
