I have to say that I think that Mercedes owners, regardless of income or age of car, or whatever, tend to be some pretty bright folks. I belong to a couple other car forums, and we've been talking about various topics, mostly around borrowing money to buy a car. Most of the individuals are having the most difficult time understand the simplest concepts.

We've had, on occasion, similar discussions, and I find the majority of owners understand rudimentary concepts, and the more complex ones are understood quickly.

Mercedes owners get an A+!!

I know all the answers.
It's the questions I don't understand.

Eric,
Does it ITCH to live there?
Just a JOKE son.....please do NOT thake that comment personally.:p
Anyway, I just could NOT resist.
Best wishes always,

So anyway, what's "rudimentary" mean?

So I guess Becky still lives there, eh? Those durned "one 'orse" towns did always give the fellas the "itch" to leave...

The content of this discussion seems to somewhat disprove John's original assertions. And here I thought it was going to be about the SMART car.

LOL!

I always thought the Saab-ists were the intellectuals (or wanted others to think so) and the Subaru people were engineers/mathmaticians. BMW people remind me of all the people I hated in highschool. Old MB drivers are the quirky, thoughtful, thrifty, used to play D&D type people (yes, I'm self describing-not flaming). New MB drivers are anyones guess, I don't know any myself!

But how do you explaine then that when I fix something on my Mercedes I break two other things?

Actually, I think its this forum. None of those "My car is faster than yours" or "my wheels are 50' tall and yours are only 49' you sux man, wussy!" demeaningly empty statements.

Although mbworld ain't quite THAT bad(yet).
