Well yes I have a nice CL500 - but guess what - the car is in with MB having warrenty work done - theyve had it a week so far and want it at least another week . Guess what theyve given as a courtesy car though! A stupid B class.

SO - I have to go to a gig pulling up in a bloody ****e B class - typical. Im gonna get laughed at. Last gig we did I was driving a C32 AMG which has cred - but a bloody B class. Its a womans car. IM NOT HAPPY.

I have to call in advance to reserve a Mercedes when I take mine in for service...and then they charge $20 on top of it...for a C class!!! I think not. I always get stuck with the purple Hyundai. I don't complain too much cuz my daily driver is a 99 Saturn...it keeps me grounded. This ego is in check. The sad thing is...when I pull up to a light next to a hottie I usually forget which car I'm in...very awkward. Although, they must think I'm hung like a bull or something to try and hit on them in a POS like mine. Still doesn't help...

My dealer (downtown LA) gives us C classes, but if we call in advance we can get Dodge Durangos (with a Hemi). Its kinds cool to drive it for a few days.

What kind of gig is this? What do you play?

When did the B class come to America?

It doesn't look that bad, in the movies the band members always drove a VW vanagon or an American Station wagon. So you aren't doing too bad.

well thats the idea but our insurance companys in the UK ALWAYS file it as if you were to blame until you get the 3rd party agreeing that they caused the accident - so you nearly always have to fork out teh cash up front

Its crap I know

Heh, my Benz dealership gives me a Suzuki Forenza...man, they good on gas, and they're great for E-Brake excursions It's been pretty slick with the ice-storms as of late, and boy, I do things in that car that I never would do in my Benz. But then again, I couldn't do it because the ESP wouldn't let me. That, and the fact that my Benz is a 4Matic

My dealer in Palm Beach, Fl, gives rental cars as loaners. They actually have a major rental co. on the premises. One of the serv. reps. told me they used to give customers (warranty work generally) MB's until they got one back where a cust. had apparently taken the back seat out and hauled fill.
