My car doesn't have a seat belt light, just an easy to ignore overhead seat belt thing, like on a plane![/QUOTE
1st gen W126s have their seatbelt lights in the instrument cluster. Maybe you can add a "no smoking" sign too next to your seatbelt sign.

To start the new MB's with the push button start you have to depress the brake. Drove me nuts.
I don't like the idea much of the whole push button start. I prefer a key, it feels more mechanical. How is the issue of security handled? I always lock my doors in my car (even in the garage), but what about the small town owner who has the biggest house in the town in the middle of a big field who still leaves their car unlocked, can unacknowledged Cousin Ned from the trailer around the bend jump the 8 foot fence while on a Crystal Meth binge, push the button and be off?
