Question Blondes and White Benzes'

Just an observation, but as I was driving through my small town yesterday at 5:30 pm, I saw five different late model Benzs'. All were white and all driven by blondes. Is this a trend? If so, I gotta get one for my wife!

Same experience here

In fact, in just about every car I see on the road that I lust after, MB's, Boxters, Rousch Mustangs, Vipers, etc, has a trophy blond driving it.....alone.

Of course, after having been married for 23 years, I would always rather have the car than the blond.

No and yes but they don't go together Let me clarify that. I have a blonde but she doesn't and I have a white MB but she doesn't and neither one of us is a trophy but she was a really nice prize !

Update: Last afternoon on the way home I saw a redhead "piloting" a silver "S" class, but I think the color had been altered .

The only way this could get any better for you would be if it were Utah. You could marry into a nice inventory!

Hey, the cabin sounds nice Tracy- congrats! That has been a long-term dream of mine for as long as I can remember. Still a couple years away, but....

You're a Crystal-guy right? Your place in the Greenwater area then?

Back to the topic of discussion, seems like the Seattle norm is older asian grandma/pa looking types - driving Smoke Silver or White W210's. The W124's and W123's I see (and there are more than a few around here) seem to have the most varied driver demographic of any car...and in any color.



Regards,

Um yeah.....must be a generational thing cause, I'm not reconizing those. *rifles through the tiny 70's record collection in head* Not Zepplin or Supertramp, don't think it's King Crimson either, hmmmm. I'll just stay out and let you guys have your fun

Hey yeah - a ski-party get together for forum members - I like it! Not tacky in the least (as long as single-plankers are welcome ). Though a little late for this year

Unfortunately, the picture link didn't work, I'll try it a little later.

Again, congrats man!

Regards,
- Ryan

We don't mean to get off on these tangents, but being a Jethro Tull fan is more exclusive than being a Mercedes fan! Forgive us. But you haven't lived until you listen to "Protect and Survive" in a Mercedes at a db level that will make your teenagers hold their hands over their ears!!!

Keep in mind that the blond in that Bimmer LeBenz mentioned probably is some poor saps pain in the a*& if you know what I mean .
My wife is blond only upon her return from the beauty parlor - that may hold true for alot of blonds from this part of the country .

I liked "Thick as a Brick" and probably still have the record around here somewhere.
