That's why you're selling it?

Hmmm... that has to set a new record for the most trivial reason to sell a car. On the other hand, I guess selling it because a bird $hit$ on it...

Cheers,

I sold it because i wanted something automatic.

The timing just worked out that one of my only pet peeves with the car happened to occur at the same time that I made a deal on an S63.

When I was 18 I sold the car I had because it needed new tires. My mindset at the time was that I could not afford the lump sum needed to buy new tires, but I sure the heck could afford another car with a restructured payment plan!

Not sure what I would of done had it needed a wiper blade cover.

Best of luck

Did you ever consider that maybe the wiper cover was improperly installed? I've not had mine fall of... I didn't know it was an epidemic problem...?

I used a dab of silicone on mine the first time it fell off, and it never fell off again...

Good idea, that probably would have worked.

That being said, the only complaint I had with the car was the wiper cover. I'll miss it, but it was time to move on to something else.

Did you replace the wiper cover before selling the car?

I gotta ask... what happens when your mailbox needs replacing? Do you sell the house and buy another?

S63 is a badass ride! Nice! Hope you got deep pockets for that bad boy!

If the mailbox broke, I'd have to burn the house down.

You know.....I suspect that Brian Williams would have some good ideas on what to do under some of these 'testing' circumstances, he has unfathomable qualities.
