Could be fun if it checks out, hard to tell from the 2 pics what shape
it is in, but looks like that might be in Ion?

In front? How do you get the daily drivers out? I would think
you mean behind.
Might work with "little" cars, but my GMC 3/4 ton chassis are too
long. Or my garage is short.

I thought the CLK was a C class priced like a E class, so I just assumed the CL
was a E class 211 priced like an S class.

Nope, according to Wiki, the C215 chassis is a SWB W220 coupe, which would
justify the S class price tag.

Looks like Snee Farm neighborhood, very close to my abode.
Boring grey color might reduce the ticket count...

I've been away at deer camp for a couple days. Got 8" of snow in northern Maine
Tuesday and with another 3-5" on the way we decided to head home yesterday. It
was already a little squirrely getting in and out of camp with just 8". One guy
got stuck and I nearly got stuck a couple times. The trick to driving in that
much snow is to pretend you're making a truck commercial and drive way faster
than you would normally, the guy that got stuck hit a drift without enough
speed to pull through. I pulled him out but it was a hard pull.
Anyway I got home and Angie says "I have bad news, your car is dead." Oh boy,
just what I wanted. She's been driving my car as hers has a turbo actuator
issue thats preventing it from passing inspection. Everything is working fine
its just throwing a code. I should have gotten it fixed this summer, instead
it'll be Monday.
I went out and she's right, its totally dead, no dome light or anything. I
unplugged the seat heater and hooked up the battery charger, the dome light
sprang to life. Today, after leaving the battery charger on all night it sprang
to life no problem.
I've got this aftermarket seat heater that plugs into the 12v port which on my
Jetta is not switched. My car occasionally gives an airbag light, its a dying
heap after all, the light scared Angie, so rather than asking about it she just
drove her car leaving the seat heater plugged in in mine. After 3 days of
trying to heat the car with the seat heater the battery gave up...
Love easy fixes, hopefully this doesn't ruin the battery.

Which are usually driven straight into the garage so their back ends are
nearest the overhead door(s) and their front ends are deep in the garage.

Decent price for a 2009 with under 120k on it from a dealer.
PPI it to death before you drop $10k on it though.
Take off the ML320 Bluetec badges and the stars, put Lexus swoops or Acura
dividers in the circles that used to have stars in them?
Or just say 'you wanted me to get rid of all the junkers and buy one solid car,
so I bought the most versatile one I could find'?
But seriously, you're the one driving it, so as long as she doesn't think it's
a public embarrassment (did I guess right about her opinion of Polei and the
gold/purple car?), what does she care?
