As far as i know it's called the defensive driver package, but thats all i know about it. Besides that it eliminates slow people in my way. Do we ever have to have it serviced or something?

Are you also missing pages 400 through 486 in your COMAND manual?!!

I think we are on to something which explains the high cost of Mercedes'!

-ammunition type
-quick fix
-reloading
-specifications
-disclaimer

i don't know my friend, i think you and i have discovered something that can help mankind, or atleast our quest for world domination.

Or we can carry on as usual, just blowing people in our way up and call it a day?

What are you opinions on this

I like the world domination one. Helping mankind can be left to the liberals.

Blowing people up in our way sounds good too, I think we'll have to start a poll or something to also get a count of who else has the Military Defensive Driver Package.

Will you do the honors of starting this poll. I am still new to the posting world, you have the reputation to have many people check it out, would off topic be a sound venue?

Think the hood star is what makes an MB look unique. I remember seeing them all the way back 1950 while visiting my uncle in Hong Kong. He had an MB stretched limo or sorts with the hood star and the signals on the sides of the car that act like semaphores.

It's a subjective thing, but I think it is a somewhat more sporty look with an emblem on the hood instead of above it. But, the latter may give a more elegant look to those owners who prefer it.

Yeah, I don't know why but for me, it just has to be there. I love riding or driving a benz with the star sticking out of the hood.
