MB First Aid Kit
Well, in the 3+ years I have owned my Benzes, I have never used the first aid kits in them. Tonight was a first. In my CLK, most of the things were useless: dried neosporin, un-sticky bandaids, things like that. Tonight, though, having lost my fingernail to my front door (of my house), I needed some gauze and tape. Having none in the house first-aid, I turned to my car. I cracked open the well-equiped first aid kit and found everything I needed. So, for once, while at home, I was glad to have a first aid kit in my car!

Thanks. The kit IS lacking any pain-killers, but the car took me to go get some, so I feel much better now... but I can't type well (it's my left pointer finger).

Get:
1. bright flash light
2. Emergency Kit (tow rope, booster cable and etc)
3. A set of tools with wrenches, channel lock, screwdrivers
With that, then you would be all set.
I always thought, why can't MB has that tool set BMW has.

Hope you feel better Drew.
You lost your whole fingernail? If not you can dice up some onions and put plenty of salt on it and wrap your finger. It helps spread the blood so blood doesn't get filled and cloth in the smashed area (that's when it turns black and your nail falls off). It saved my toe nail once and I wish I knew about it when I smashed my finger nail.
Good luck and again I hope you feel better with a speedy recovery.

Ouch! remember that alcohol numbs pain.
While Benz products seldom require tools as often as BMW's. In some markets Benz do provide a nice toolkit.

Thanks, everyone, I'm feeling better... still hurts though.
My Benz stash was supplemented by my grandfather and former owner of the car. I now have a two flashlights, two fire extinguishers, a safety triangle thing, an extra space blanket, three pairs of gloves, a whisk broom, a few screwdrivers, a multi-tool, an extensive ratchet kit from Target (because I needed torx attachments)... I could go on.
Applied topically, or taken internally?

I didn't drink until 22, but I think you're completely mature enough to handle a drink now and then. Unfortunately the laws have to be written to protect the masses and most people your age are not capable. You owe me a drink once you are of age.
