[MBZ] Nice winter ad, with SL content, and a few familiar faces.

2010-12-22 Thread E M
Ok, watching this, I want an old SL!!  280 was the one to have, right?  The
wagon and G Wagon kinda do it for me too!

Funny, watching this, almost makes me wish for snow.  Of course, the reality
of snow AND salt is much different here!  I've washed the daily driver
minivan THREE times this week.  I know, I usually say I don't like to wash
salty cars too often, but I can't stand a dirty car, and I probably won't
keep this one long enough for rust to be an issue.

All wheel drive lets you GO better but you can't stop any better.  The 
guy in the ditch is saying, But Honey, we have FOUR WHEEL DRIVE!

What's the old saying, 4 wheel drive just lets you get stuck deeper, and
further from home.  hee hee

4 or 5 years ago we drove the 4WD Suburban from Houston to Colorado to 
go skiing, on the way back we got stuck in Pueblo due to a severe 
snowstorm, hung there for 2-3 days until the interstate east from Denver 
opened (barely).  So we decided to drive back to Denver then east then 
south to get around it all, backtracked and headed east.  Someplace in 
Kansas, the road was like 2in of snow and ice still with occasional bare 
tracks in the right lane,  pretty nasty.  I was driving maybe 40-45 
getting passed by all these fools in their pickup trucks, little 
sh*tboxes, whatever, tailgating me then whipping out to pass on the 
packed stuff at 50 or 60.  There were cars all along down in the 
ditches, some rolled.  I remember one Tahoe in the median, snow up to 
the door handles, you could see where he went off sideways then ended up 
there.  Guy with his wife and 2-3 little kids, out in the middle of 
nowhere (most of Kansas seems to be Nowhere), his wife clearly Not 
Happy.  I said to my wife, But Honey we have FOUR WHEEL DRIVE and 
laughed like hell while being more vigilant.  I was most worried about 
having to dump it to miss some other fool, or getting whacked by one 
that lost control while passing.
