Odd Question

But I have been wondering lately, Why does the speedo in my 240D start at 10 MPH? Any specific reason, I didn't even notice this until my GF got in the car with me and said, WTF how are we going 10, the cars not even on. So yeah, dumb question, but is there any reason for this or is that just the way it is, did they figure if your not even going ten, then who cares anyway?

Interesting, so does my 300D. Maybe slow speeds below 20 MPH are beneath the dignity of a Mercedes?

Girls tend to notice that type of thing when they are bored. You need to put some excitement in her life!!!
