2011 C300 Sport Saves Lives
So I was driving in the carpool lane today after work on my normal route home and as I was cruising 
65 mph, then suddenly this black on black '97 Honda Civic with tinted tale lights cuts me off. I had to slam on my breaks and turn the car to the left barely missing the barrier. The car handled really well, luckily the car behind me didn't rear end me!
The worst part wasn't the fact that I could have really been hurt or my passenger, but how my first thought was should I get the 2012 facelift if this one doesn't make it!
Moral of the story, drive defensively and be happy with your current MB!

Acura drivers too, sometimes they're worse than Honda. I've noticed lower brand drivers get weird around a Benz! I had this girl in a Toyota Corolla riding me hard, so I dusted her, I went from 72 to 92 mph, left a huge gap. She had the ***** to catch up. But that was in the GLK 4Matic, which I try not to abuse too much, the C300 is RWD.

For me its always a damn honda. Coming out a damn parking lot, making me hit the brakes. I park at the furthest corner spot of a super market where nobody is (to avoid dings from people n shopping carts) and when i come out, a honda is parked next to me, when there is no other cars in the far back!

They are, and thats why they part next to our cars. I've caught people peeking into mine. It's nice to be noticed, as long as they don't touch!
Someone kicked in my mom's 2012 C250 last month, she thinks it was someone at work. It cost her $630 to repair. The auto body shop said it was vandalism because there wasn't any paint transferred and was in an area that a car would have done more damage. She parks it in a single garage at night.
She said the girls in the office were jealous when they saw her new car, it's not her fault they drive Hondas, lol!

My brother was getting his car detailed (aston martin) with one of those services where they come to you and do it at your place. And WHILE it was getting detailed and waxed and cleaned, people were coming from the street and touching and peeking inside, leaving hand and finger print marks.

what's with all the hate on Hondas? they make great cars. please don't mistake the drivers with the kind of car they drive. i've seen just as many douches driving a c class, or any MB for that matter, as i do a BMW or a Honda or a toyota or Nissan. the people who buys the car does not represent the car company as a whole.

My car in high school was a '93 Honda Civic, just sold it two months ago for $1,600, with 305k!!! I used to be one...although Acura drivers are aggressive, won't take that back!
