No. As a matter of FACT. It is called... not liking the manufacturer by the name of HONDA. So get off my case. If I don't want to drive a damn civic then by god I won't. And I'm sure plenty agree with me.

I think I'd take a new Civic Si over a c280. I like the exterior styling of the new C-class so I'd take a C300 over the now outdated Civic Si. Civic Si's are much more fun than C-classes .

A lot of jealousy indeed. That’s one of the reasons I have a front and rear DashCam on mine, park at the farthest end of the parking lot when at the store, and NEVER parallel park between vehicles. And I’m more than twice your age . If you’re going to own a high-end luxury vehicle, get used to living this way, my friend.

I do the same with my Benz, you just can't trust people. It's always a wtf moment when you park far away and no one is parked anywhere near your car then once you come out of the store someone is right next to it...
