Didn't know that! But I learned at a GTG as well how to open a beer with a news paper. MB meets are very educational days!

Yes, the star. This is my first MB, and I have to admit that star has made me a less safe driver...there are times I just want to gaze at it!

I like the tiny wipers on the headlights.

People go "Are those really tiny wipers on the headlights?"

I say yes and then tell them about the heated windshield washer jets.

But the best thing about the 126?
