Arrow Awfull C240 Wagon Reaction!

It seems while I am driving the C240 4Matic wagon loaner, everyone seems to take it as a personal affront to their manhood if I pass them in the wagon.
People usually end up trying all sorts of moves just to reclaim a position ahead of me in the "wagon".

WTF is going on?

We really need the C32 AMG Estate (Wagon) and the E55 AMG Estate (Wagon) to cure that perception in the US.

You're probably just imagining it When I had my Camry loaner I thought everyone was looking at me and thinking I'm poor or I'm borrowing my grandmothers car, lol. But when I see people driving those cars, I don't even think twice....so I think it was just my imagination

But I know when I see someone in a minivan or something pass me...I have to take control and show them they aren't allowed to do that :p

Yes, I suppose I am! :p


The other day I caught a guy looking at me. He was in his 30's, in a minivan with 3 kids in the back and a dog in the 3rd row and sparkly stickers on the window. He looked at me with the saddest face like "why me?!". I felt bad so I winked at him and he smiled.....poor guy, lol

I will never be that guy. The kids and the dog, yes. But no minivan, and definitely no sparkling stickers.

Maybe you'd look poor in an Echo, but a Camry makes you anonymous, like someone in the Witness Protection Program.
