But...roads are still full of salt, patches of ice, wouldn't be worth it lol
hello, mr.thegreatone! oh, you have tire laws there, huh? that's smart for the regular-folk for sure. i sometimes want to walk out and kick benz/bmw driver's arse when they are slipping and sliding all over the place with their no-season tires + RWD.

Took my Pearl out for a ride (in the rain). The earth has been covered in salt by over-zealous plow companies for awhile and I missed driving Zed! I know I'm a bad person for taking him out and getting him all dirty but I'll wash him up tomorrow.

Anyway, I stop for some grub and big brother showed up!

Good afternoon everybody.

So I replaced the trunk panel yesterday to replace the broken one. Took it out for a drive and the damn whistling is still there.

This noise is going to drive me crazy. Has anyone had this problem before (whistling noise coming from the trunk/hatch area)?

I am being boring with my 370 lately – just driving to work and back. However, yesterday something happened that was either cool or odd.

Driving back from a client’s site, I was on Sunrise Blvd. near hwy 50. In the afternoons, this route is fairly clogged and stop and go. A minivan pulls up alongside me at a red light and a guy leans out the passenger side window to catch my attention.

The guy says “sweet car”. I said “thanks”. He then said “wanna race for pinks?”.

To this I replied “Now what am I going to possibly do with a Dodge Caravan?”

Hmm...not quite sure how to do that.

Would this be in the service manual? If so, I will check it out for sure.
