Cool Looking Good from Rural Mississippi

I am from the land of log trucks, pickup trucks, and uninsured motorists.

I told my wife that driving my new Mercedes E-320 makes you "Look Good".

I was referring to driving very safely and looking hard for uninsured "red necks" with a six-pack could come out of the blue and hit the new MB.

She was referring to "Looking Good" as people know you are wealthy enought to afford one of the best automobiles in the world.

I had a good experience with buying the car. My salesperson said I was the first person he remembers coming up in a GEO and buying a Mercedes. The GEO looked out of place at the dealership.

Welcome to the Forum ...

I bet that salesman stands-up and walks to the door everytime he sees an affordable car pull into the lot!

I have a few red-neck friends too ... they like the way my 'Benz looks, but they wouldn't own one because:

1. There's no place to hang the Gun-Rack ...

2. And you can't spit your Copenhagen on the floor 'cause it messes up the pretty carpet!

Again, good to have you here ... and remember to pass the word around about the site to your friends.

We'll talk again.

I've seen quite a few rednecks driving clapped-out 240D's, 300D's, 190E's, and 300SD's. Nothing newer than an '85, though!
