OT - the time of year I hate my car
 
F---ing leaves all over the cowl even if I don't park near trees. Horn and brake lights inop when the key is out and leaf magnets in the cowl. What was MB thinking?

Clean out your garage?

Your car must have the same cowl configuration as mine. Leaves, pine needles, mice, etc... love that space and the recess in the cowl where the mono-wiper connects seems to funnel the crap right down there.

When I first started working, I would park on the side of the parking lot in front of this line of trees. Well I quickly learned that one the tress had berries on it. I came out and saw the car covered in berries!

Now I park a few spots down, no berries.

I discovered one of these trees at work as well....on a hot day...and I couldn't get to cleaning them off for another 48 hours. It took a large amount of claying to finally get all the stains out :(

I get pine needles at work. Home is worse --- leaves and acrons.

I started parking in the garage 2 days ago even though my diesel friendly garage isn't done. I think it's going to get too cold before I get the floor done.....running out of time. I guess I'll have the cardboard floor covering until next year. Oh well.

I'm still waiting for that most hated of Fall-Mercedes events to happen.....


A leaf getting stuck in the hood star :mad:

Been there; done that with the leaf.
I also accidently killed a butterfly with the star. Poor beautiful thing.
