Thumbs up Mercedes Surfers

A guy pulled up next to me at the stoplight today. After asking me what the surf was like he told me that he always gets a good feeling in his stomach when he sees a mercedes with a surfboard on top.I was Just wondering exactly how many other mercedes drivers share the surfing stoke.

Well, I surf (try, at least), but wouldn't risk getting the sand in my interior...!

You'd be surprised..! A lot of it on the South-West Coast. And as there's no sunny weather to distract us, we can get pretty good! (Not me tho)

later

I surf at least one week a year - right in your neck of the woods - Cape Hatteras, NC. Usually great surfing, esp. the lighthouse and Frisco.

...and yes, I love strapping my board(s) on to the top of my Benz (using a Thule roofrack of course). Very cool, dude.
