An incident the other day prompted me to post this. It could end up being very entertaining.

"You know you drive a Mercedes diesel when...

...when you're driving the school bus at work, a 240 pulls out in front of you, and you know from your own car that you could downshift the bus and complete the pass before the end of the block.

...when you think something's missing if you drive a car that doesn't have a bang-clunk shift between first and second.

...when you find yourself fielding calls from local garages about fixing (or selling) other old MB diesels.

...when your three year old son can pick out other diesels in traffic because they sound just like daddy's car.

...when you know where every old MB diesel is parked in town, how long they've been parked, and have a good idea how much it would take to buy them.

...when you can drive below the speed limit without worrying about tailgaters. Anyone foolish enough to try gets "smoked."

... when you laughed at the BMW diesel commercial with the dancing hula girl on the Benz dash but at the same time you were a little offended because there was no defense.

Any others?
