Exploring with the wrong car (and watch)?

I must say I was terrified bringing this here but turned out to be an amazing adventure! Amazing scenery in Poconos, PA!






And the obligatory watch shot (not not an explorer!)

Nice. That Merc looks lifted compared to an M5 I drove on logging roads.

Looks great...I suppose with the matte paint it is more scratch proof from the twigs and brush! Love the watch too!

Is it?

I thought if matte paint gets scratched you can't do touch ups and you have to respray the whole panel or more.

You are mistaken.

That’s the right car for most any occasion.

Epic, awesome automobile.

I have a good friend in Marshalls Creek. That’s just what his road looks like. Enjoy the countryside.

The poconos have been catering to the mercedes crowd for decades, you will find it plenty easy to get around with it. Enjoy the trip

There’s a show I watch about traffic cops in Australia and driving that is an automatic traffic stop after sunset.

Our SUV had a cracked windshield right before the trip. Was very reluctant to take this bad boy from Boston but very glad I did. Incredible machine and lived up to the task! Matte paint is very easy to maintain (so far). This was Blooming Grove PA with some incredible back roads for car lovers. Some more pics!

So, I used to explore with the wrong car, but then I got tired of cleaning the wheel wells... so I got the right car for it!




The right tool for the right mission....
