Make sure to look at the steering wheel pics, and the tastefully placed Eibach emblem by the AC vents...

Can you imagine getting in an accident and impaling yourself on that steering wheel? I could maaayybe understand if it was a nice wheel like MOMO, even that would probably look stupid in a Benz, but it's so hideous and dated. I would like to see the inside of that guy's house.

To put your own safety in jeapordy like that shows some warped thinking. Although, I guess it's no worse than when people smoke - knowing the inherent risk.
