My mom got a 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 for christmas from her boyfriend. It is a used car and it had roughly 58,000 miles on it when she got it, so it's been around the block a few times. Her boyfriend is extremely protective over it and I was not supposed to be driving it period. I did anyway and he found out and got mad, but whatever I'm off the insurance in a few days anyway so I can't drive it after that. The car does not have snow tires, so we can't drive it in the snow and Jay insists that we do not drive it in the rain or snow because the salt spray will strip the wax. So we can only drive the car on warm, dry days. I don't see the point in having a car that sits in the garage, and my mom agrees. If it was like a Bentley or something exotic like that maybe it would be ok, but it's not!

People are like that. Some of the cars on my road never move

tell him to buy her a sports car with snow tires, than its a win win

I drive my car all year round, but put my winter wheels on over winter as all the salt on the roads eats away at the polished rims!

They don't make steel rims for the S-Class, or atleast to match the bolt pattern. He also washes it in the winter.. CRAZY

You could just get rid of the car and get something practical for whether you live..

If it's hers then she should be able to drive it whenever.

Normal tyers should be fine in snow, rain, ice w.e its just how you drive it. Tyres for special types of weather I thought were generally for like racing in those conditions not for a normal road car. Tell your mum its HER car and she dont care he HE paid for it, she is driving it when SHE wants.

I've seen plenty of these cars out on the road during winter... they all seem to be fine :S

tyres may be fine but the salt on the roads eats away at polished wheels, which is why i use winter wheels (non-polished)
