bizarre observations

good evening everyone,

i have a few observations i'd like to share with you

in my area (youngstown/warren) I see my fair share of mercedes..maybe a dozen a week...a few older ones a few newer ones..even when in on the highway...i pass a few MBs.....

every single once I've seen since I started school (late august) has been driven by a woman.....

now im not saying theres anything wrong with that but I havent seen any male MB drivers around my area. I think its kinda strange. Sometimes if I see a the recognizible rear end of a MB, I speed up to catch up to it...99% of the time its a woman...i guess im hopeful of finding a fellow enthusiast...

another thing i've noticed..whenever I drive my w201 190E 2.6 around town...when I'm in multiple lanes of traffic...there is ALWAYS near 3-4 cars of room on ALL SIDES of me. Its baffling. Even when I was going down to columbus to visit my girlfriend.....3-4 cars of room all sides...

has anyone else experienced this phoenomenon?
is there a name for this?!

Kris

But then he wouldn't be able to drive.

Zoloft,buspar and Paxil have proven themselves far more effective.............THAT'S IT,EFFEXOR!!!!!

Kinda takes the worry out of being close to people.

MB's are everywhere in my area, driven by all types it seems.

There is a hot girl at school with a silver SLK, looks like a good combo to me!

I see a few of them. I am in Canton. Mostly 90's models and up. Occasionally, I see another w123. Lots of 126's.

Are you suggesting that women are not or can not be MB enthusiasts? Mistress Heather and some of the other women on the forum would beg to differ with you, if you are.

Perhaps try less garlic and onions in your diet?

has anyone else experienced this phoenomenon?

No, I wish some of the other drivers in my neck of the woods would allow at least ONE car length of space around me. Maybe I'll move up there where you live.

is there a name for this?! Heaven?

Kris
Count your blessings, Kris.
