This is my Forum. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My Mercedes is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My Mercedes, without me, is broken. Without my Mercedes, I am useless. I must repair my Merc soundly. I must drive safer than my enemy amorphous korean lozenge shaped commuter bubble who is trying to kill me. I must pass him before he hits me. I WILL...

My Merc and myself know that what counts in this union is not the miles we drive, the noise of the holes in our exhaust, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the bits I fixed that count. IT WILL RUN...

My Mercedes is Human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its Warm up regulators and its climate control servo. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my Merc clean and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL...

Before God, I swear this creed. My Merc and myself are the shade tree buddies of my forum. We are the masters of our spanners. WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF OUR BRAND.

So be it, until our Mercs runs and there are no oil leaks, from rear main seals!


Absolutely no part of this creed was taken from any other organization.... wink wink nudge nudge

Classic!

How about this one:

The Benz is my car; I shell out cash. It maketh me smoke out hybrids: It leadeth me beside busy freeways. It empties my wallet: It leadeth me in the path of torque for long engine life. Yeah, though I drive through the valley of the shadow of rice, I shall fear no evil: For thou art with me. Thy five rods and pistons, they comfort me. Thou preparest a highway before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou lubricatest my bearings with oil. Surely greasy hands and parts receipts will follow me all the days of my life: And I will drive a Mercedes forever.

So let it be written,
So let it be said.

That's way overboard for me. They're old cars; I like them. I also own a Jeep, a Lexus, a Chevy, and a GMC - I like them all.

I love lots of other Cars, but Mercedes-Benz will always be my first love because they're the cars I learned to work on.
