You know your obsessed when....
So I considered dressing the E300 or the 300SD up as a BMW for halloween but I know they would have hated that. So instead I carved a pumpkin in true Mercedes style.

Sort of a "cry for help",...........but nice job!
I also just read some of the stuff on your wedding fintail page. If you're standing next to your fiance and the Fintail and somebody says: "wow she's beautiful!", do you respond "Thanks I just polished the chrome"?

Oh man flounder that actually made me laugh out loud!! I had to call the soon to be wife and tell her, I'm still laughing! I need to update the page so bad, gonna try and find sometime today. The bad thing is that whenever I have time I usually spend it on the car.
No SDog, I actually used this image and resized it Photoshop down to 6". My fiance is an artist and runs her own business and gave me some tips on pumpkin carving. She did one of our lil half dalmation half lab puppy Macchia (Italian for spot):

Or basically the same joke: standing next to fiance and the Fintail at wedding reception and a guest says "I hope you have a long happy life together", and you respond: "well I plan to keep up on the oil changes..........."

Don't worry. I've totally thought of doing that. I'm just too cheap to buy a pumpkin.

Nice job Bcollia.
Here's my pumpkin. It's a self portrait of me during my motor mount and oil cooler line repairs.

Here's what I used. One side is for cutting through the pumpkin meat and the other side is for cutting and scratching away the skin.

Thanks guys! I ended up using a small screwdriver in order to "etch" the skin away. First I took the template and pinned it to the pumpkin. I then used pins to poke holes to outline the template. Then used a knife to go in about 1/4 inch connecting the punched holes. From there I used to screwdriver scrape away the pumpkin flesh until I could see the light from the flashlight inside it.
Nie one Chad. I'm diggin it
