Question What is this for?

Found this in my lower trunk area, what is it for? I don't have a clue.

That's the tow eye. You remove the little cubby hole cover in the bumper and this screws in. Hook a chain or cable and you can pull your car out of the snow!

It's how they get your car up on a flat bed tow truck.
Do Mom and Dad know you are out driving their Mercedes while they sleep?

Thanks, was also going to ask, if also to pull car onto a tow hauler, but UT answered that.

That is a MB Only Special? Never had anything like that, not even in my 2015 SL 400. Been driving for 54 years, how long have you been driving?
When did you buy your first car, Grandpa?
(Haven't been getting any lately?)

You bet! Also any self respecting Texas only drinks beer out of a proper long neck bottle and never ever puts beans in their Chili Con Carne, unless that is they live in a single wide manufactured home!

As I get older, I find myself going back to my roots, drinking Miller High Life these days. The neck isn't as long, but it sure tastes great!

I don't dare go back to my roots in some categories! Celebrating 30 years of sobriety this June 24th. It's also how I can afford driving Mercedes.
Crown Royal and Jack Daniels in the 1.75 size isn't cheap any more......

I thought you were saving all your Crown Royal pull String bags to be made into seat covers for your new W222!
