Clint Eastwood, sheep, my butt and a wagon........

My wife and I drove our 2018 S560 up to Carmel a few weeks ago to spend a couple of nights at Clint Eastwood’s “Mission Ranch.” It’s a truly great place, very low key, quiet and a great place to kick back anytime, but especially during these crazy CW virus days. The rooms look out over his pasture, complete with a herd of sheep that appear to be about as old as Clint, with the Pacific Ocean just behind it. You park your car right next to your room, great patio dining and cool weather. Here’s a couple of photos.

Driving up there and back, I said to my wife “I wish they would have the seat massage function in the lower cushions, and not just the seat back.”

Anyway, we recently picked up a 2019 E450 Wagon and yesterday I was fooling with the massage seats when I noticed two menu items that my S560 does not have: “Wave Massage” and “Active Workout Cushion.” When I tried them out I think I shouted! The massage is in the lower seat cushion and it is truly AMAZING! So, question: do any of you folks with a 2019 or 2020 W222 have these functions in your massage menu? This feature is definitely worth an upgrade, if the newer models have it.

The sign saying "thank you for not feeding sheep" reminded me of one I saw in Ireland that said "Any dog caught worrying the sheep will be shot"

There is a strict “No Dogs Allowed” policy there.

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
In a lot of places in Florida there are signs saying "Please don't Molest the Alligators" not a very good choice of words, I cant imagine. Looks like a cool place though. Now I'm even more Jealous of those Multi-contour seats you have in your wagon. In my wagon I've just got the standard MB tex seats. I shoulda got more options on my car, but I got it as a in stock car and got it cheap for a brand new one, It was a 78K sticker and got it for 70K and that was when the 2019's had just come out. Good move on getting the wagon now though as looks like they are wrecking the wagon for 2021 model year with that foolish off road look and raised suspension like the Buick Tour X wagons had. It didn't work for Buick I dunno why Benz thinks it's gonna work for them.

The Simpson's did an episode on Crocodile Hunter which probably gave rise to the "Please do not Molest the Alligators".
