Wagon Stoke

[anotherVTskibum]

Slam on the brakes. Vagons have pretty good brakes, no?

Back in college, the driver behind me turned the Jetta I was driving into a Golf, that's how much better the brakes were at the red light.

The worst part was that I was driving my then-girlfriend's Jetta to the parts store in order to get parts to fix my Jetta.

the driver behind me turned the Jetta … into a Golf

an insane image popped into my head when reading this - it was a MAD fold-in!

Where is this place that has snow because Bristol is still a cow pasture.

They do more harm than good IMO. You have drivers speeding up considerably or others slamming on their brakes (even if they can likely make it through under yellow).

And to make matters worse, some municipalities were busted for shortening the duration of the yellow lights to increase ticket revenues. This of course had the inevitable result of increases in rear end collisions.

Cool. I didn't appreciate that Catskills gets to over 3K feet in elevation. Highest we get in the finger lakes is 2K and that extra 1K makes a big difference. to temps.

Nah. The stealership offered me $9,500 for a car that Kelly BB says is worth $16K in "good" condition (it actually fits their definition of "very good").

I may let my son take over payments and eventually own the car since he's driving a Grand Cherokee as a commuter.

If I'm not mistaken Belleayre has the highest base elevation in NY. The tops of the Catskills High Peaks are over 4k.

At least you could probably take comfort in knowing your girlfriend was hot. Cause all hot girls in college drove Jettas; which I can confirm.

plattekill tops out at 3500ft. on storm days the roads are often fine up
til last couple of miles...the last 2 miles of incline brings slippy travel. and then the mountain can be full-on powday.

According to the NYSB directory, Plattekill’s base is higher by 175 feet

Picked up my new car today. It was a little over 2 hours to get home. Effortless on a couple of fairly major state highway that have a lot of elevation change. My wife followed me in our 2019 VW Sportwagen and I never realized how much of a dog it is compared to the E400.

Didn't bring a lightning cord so didn't test their CarPlay interface (2017 was the first year M-B had it).

Confirmed no steering wheel heat

Studying the owner's manual trying to figure out all of the features and how to access them.

[BmillsSkier]

Slick whip AW, congrats!

Need some interior shots. Heated steering wheel is such a nice feature and doesn’t cost much. Once you’ve had it…you know. Surprised more people don’t order it when they spend thousands on wheels and plastic trim

Got the new ADS rear shocks installed on my w211. $1500! I was fretting but car rides beautifully again.

[huckbucket]

Santa would give that white sled two thumbs waaaay up! Congrats.

Was originally sold in the Bay Area so not shocking it didn't have the heated wheel or the warmth package.

Wife's Ridgeline has the heated wheel and despite hating how that car drives, I do like it on cold mornings.

Was likely bought for Tahoe car. Alex Cushing drove Benz wagon in his day.

Hey, do you have any pictures of your kids? Ha!

You asked for it...

[4matic]

Love the two tone interior. The black carpet hides dirt. I'll dig up the high res picture of my wagon interior.

^ it does have Distronic+. Not sure if it’s P2 or P3. Gotta do some research once it’s in my hot little hands.
