any chance she let you take some pics with her behind the steering wheel or sitting on the trunk
very nice shot!
by the way, is that a 240D with a manual antenna or is her electric antenna broken?

you never did post what kind of MB it was.

I'm going to guess 240D due to the hubcaps, and the modern MB tex headrests...
it could be a euro vehicle also.

just curious why the antenna is only partly extended.

You are asking why an electrical feature on a 1980s German car doesn't seem to be working right. This is kind of a silly question... it's probably broken

This is easily explained. The car's name is Uncle Ernie.

Are you guys all forgetting that factory hirschman antennas had the half mast feature?... When you started the car the antenna extended to half way, to get it to full length you clicked the switch in the dash all the way up.
