From all your comments about MBUSA (and many of the supporting comments from others here), I'll be doing as much service myself as possible. It's sad hearing the stories of MBUSA tarnishing the MB brand.

Do you really think that by ordering a leather interior, the unfinished car is sidetracked while someone heads out the back door to shoot a cow or two for your car.

I doubt that the world bovine population was effected by the leather interiors in the last three MBs I ordered.

I still think your pants are held up by a rope and your sense of humor needs a reboot.

Nothing wrong with standing up for what you believe in and ignoring the misconception that your "small contribution is too minor to make a real difference".

I don't see why someone should be criticized for choosing to minimize their "animal killing" indulges. It doesn't make him a hypocrite, because it's not like he's saying "if you have leather interior, you're a murderer". It's a simple fact: If you eat meat, or sit on leather, an animal had to die for that. The less you eat or sit on, the more animals get spared.

I can never grasp the psychology behind humankind getting so offended over those who express sensitivity for animals when it comes to eating meat, or sitting on skin.
