Hi,

Just thought I'd open a thread regarding people who hate Merc drivers just in case anyone has had a similar experience and wants to blow some steam.

The other night I was driving up a street which is so narrow that it is necessary to cooperate with oncoming drivers. When a stream of cars came down the street, I pulled over behind the parked cars to allow the oncoming traffic to get passed. The first of them went by. The last two cars didn't move and simply blocked the way for a moment. The next thing I knew was that the bastards had pelted an egg at my screen. I followed them and reported them but don't know if anything came to fruition.

They damaged my windscreen which previously was spotless (new courtesy of a hail storm). Admittedly this might not be an anti- benz thing but it makes you wonder if I would have received the same treatment if I wasn't driving one.

Aside from this experience the following has happened in the last year: my old man's 380sel (not exactly worth a fortune!) has been keyed on a several panels;a hub cap stolen from my car; the driver's door on my car booted; and both mercs badged twice!

Gotta hate them benz haters.

David.
