Central Texas has finally been receiving rain this week, and we're doing it in a big way. My motor's running cooler now that we're not at 100 degrees every day (around 30 days this year at or above that temp), and my splash shield was almost doing double duty as a surf board this morning. At least my wheels and tires got a good bath. And I can't say enough about those Michelin Pilot XGT V4's. Even at a slight oversize (205-60 vs. stock 195-65), they slice right through all that water. Happy benzing, Alec Cordova Taylor, Texas 95 C280 89 300CE ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #614 *********************************
