I don't think there's a hard rule, it could go either way.

I wouldn't question your experience, but neither would I turn it into a rule.

One has to develop an instinct for what sits well.

I firmly believe in a fine balance of chemistry between me and my cars and even the cars among each other. I may sound ridiculous, but I also made my experience.

That's why this here is only comentary, if I for example start asking people about what I should give the preference, I usually get confused.

So, I rely on my sole decision making capability. If I would have known this MBsite I probably would have never bought the '95 E320. And it's too soon to say anything, but I love the car and this is what counts most. It's the basis for my intuitive relationship with the car.

If I would post the list of my friends investments in his 500 it probably would be pretty scary. But even he loves the car, so what can be said?
