Of course not.

Anyone who owns a benz is a jackass.

I never realized it... but I do seem to have more interaction with benz drivers, just 2 days ago I had a window nod from a W221 driver.
I don't think I give much preference to MB drivers in terms of politeness, but I will now
I'm not sure about those old style MLs though, they make me feel bad...for some reason I just don't like em much, terrible tail lights for a suv. They're a bit more tolerable now, guess I need to ride in it to appreciate it - if it's good.

I say we come up with some new MB owner acknowledgment, like those porsche guys who flashed their lights.

Maybe we should squirt our Headlamp washers when we see each other...or would that be considered some sort of sexual advance?

So hear this, the other day I am in Burlington Mall (MA) I park to the furthest corner where there is end spot big enough to put 1.5 cars in, it is raining a bit. Drop my lady of the door, park to my "usual" spot.

Couple hours later I come out, still raining abit.. walk to my car and what do I see?? Right next to it there is a yellow VW bug, with one of those yellow daisies in the dashboard cup (only car comes with a vase ). The closest car to our little cousy spot is 50 yards.

What a nerve ;-P
Ok this is the one thing that really chaps my hide. Its like you take the time to park way the heck away from everyone else to come back and discover that someone has driven out to park next to you. I once had someone park so close to me that I had to go in through the passanger side and crawl over in order to get in my car. Talk about irritated.

I just got my benz and haven't noticed any add courtesy. Maybe it is too soon, only had it a week and half. I used to drive a vette and 3000GT and owners of both used to wave, run you down so you can have a mini caravan until someone turns off...
