I like this 'learn to live' theory..... So far I've gutted the central locking system from my car, pulled the electronic cruise control that never worked, disabled the seatbelt sensor and ripped out the leaky AC system from under the hood - enabling superior cooling for the regular radiator. Another good idea was pulling the dopey rubber trunk liner from the trunk, so water wouldnt get trapped underneath.
Hell, with an '84 or newer Mercedes there'd be no end to the useless crap I'd be pulling out of the car.
It would be an enjoyable challenge to reduce one their new machines to simplicity of the 110 - my favorite Benz i've ever owned - 1963 190c sedan souped up with 220Sb dashboard woodwork, variable heater fan dial and deluxe 2 spd wiper switch. Thats all.
