Yep, in the Jeep I do little things Mercedes-style. Windows is one (reach for console instead of doors), radio is another (although that isn't MB-specific ... I have an Alpine in the Benz and the factory radio in the Jeep), lights, brights and the best, windshield washing fluid (I constantly flash my brights at people in the MB if I've been in the Jeep for a while ... embarassing). I also sometimes forget that I have AC in the Jeep. And overall, I just try to drive the Jeep as I would the Mercedes and it does not respond the same way. In the Benz I can get it to shift right where I want it with my right foot ... Jeep really has a mind of its own about where to shift (especially after the slushbox recall).

Oh, and sometimes I smile at diesel MBs when I'm in the Jeep, and just end up looking creepy to those drivers.
