Hey, some people were in LOVE with the Ford Taurus that was recently retired. You know, the one that looked as if it slid easily down the birth canal of a Mastodon. But, enough of that foolishness. It is an ongoing class battle in Germany. " Those who can't, buy a Mercedes. Those who can drive a BMW. Two different animals driven by two different classes of people. To quote " Three out of Four Mercedes passengers can't be wrong, just ask Princess Dianna.

( Oppps, did I go too far again! )

I dont know whether you meant anything about the Princess Diana Comment, but I think that was pretty derogatory. That car was going very bloody fast and it hit that pylon very bloody fast. If that car was a jappa, the eyewitness' would have been able to pick it up, put it in their pockets and walk away. The fact that one of the passengers survived in such a high speed crash, especially sitting in the front, amazes me to no end. Anyway, neither Diana or Dodi AlFayed were wearing seatbelts. Im sure that if they were driving a 7 series, none wold have had even the slightest chance of surviving. Whats the moral of this you ask?
If you want to pick on something, don't pick on Mercedes owners, pick on those who dont wear seatbelts, If you dont feel safe in a Mercedes, go and buy a Toyota Echo. (voted the safest car in the world, dont ask me how?!)And leave Diana alone.
