I love these little moments.... Driving down the road in my 83 240D, see a burgundy 300CD right in front of me. So I pull up beside the guy, wondering whether he has the same awareness of older Benzes on the road that I do. And sure enough: as I'm next to him, he smiles and nods, and I smile and nod....both of us having the satisfaction that we both "get it"...and I drive away.

I would never have those moments in a newer, better car.
