Hello from Snowy NE

I've had my 05 MCS since 31 Dec 04, and just drove it in this past weekend's snowstorn from DC to Allentown, PA. I have to say that the runflats, even in A/S, are not the best. The car rode ok, but the hard sidewalls were not very inspiring.

I need to see what's up w/ the rear wiper washer, 'coz it's not sprayring anything. I'm wondering if it's frozen, but I thought the lines were heated. Has anyone experienced this?

Either way, after all the griping of not having a real winter, I can't wait for warmer weather...

Ray

Sterling Mini -- Thumbs Up


Just got back from Sterling Mini and found out that my rear washer motor was "kaput". Of course, it's on back-order. Kinda odd that this is from an 05 MCS w/ 4K only...

All I can say so far is that Sterling Mini has been very customer oriented -- even cleaned the car although it did not get repaired... Can't complain.

donuts!

05er here in NJ.

With the all-seasons on 16's, no problems in snow. Got 17s or performance rubber?

Rear wiper wash working fine in the single digits as well. Has the interior warmed up when trying the rear wash?
