no but it looks good.

about the only place we go anymore in chicago is bennigans across from the art museum. there is also a place behind them that is quicker for when we are in a hurry.

in chicago the places that aren't much good don't last very long, i think. most places are good there.

it is a nice city to visit. a very impressive collection of excellent architecture and excellent museums.

probably some good antique shops as well but probably high prices too. we have never antiqued there.

have a good time.

I have eaten there. Its great, but pretty much all of the dog places are really good. I used to live right by there. Be sure to try a Chicago style hot dog and an italian beef. Here's the last place I grabbed one at during the Chicago Auto Show:

I've eaten there - overrated if you ask me. Just go to Portillo's; they've pretty much taken over in the hotdog/beef arena, and they use Vienna Beef. Their ribs are great too.

It's hard to get a bad hot dog in Chicago.

Check out the Weber Grill restaurant if you get the chance. Cool place - they cook everything in the restaurant on Weber kettle grills.

I was hoping for some opinions from everybody on the best underbody/rocker panel coating or paint I can use. I'm new to MB diesels but I want my '85 300D/150K to last, plus I'll have plenty of time this summer.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum! You should try posting that in either the Tech Help forum or the Diesel Discussion. This forum is more for open discussion. Now, if you have an opinion about the war in Iraq/Bush or hippies, this is your Huckleberry. Good luck,

C.
