I spend most of my time on benzsport and like it there. I used to spend all of my time one mercedesshop, but ever since we started benzsport, I have no sparetime left to visit any other forum on a regular base.
In my personal opinion both mercedesshop and benzsport are forums without members calling names and putting down other members like on some of the other MB related forums on the web.

Mercedesshop is a site for the purists and people looking for technical solutions whereas benzsport is a site for benz enthusiasts who are into modifying whatever they want...

I know a benz shouldn't be modified too much and should stay stock in order to prevent it from becoming rice, but some mods and changes don't harm the car at all.

There are no classics on benzsport and only a few diesels (of which my C250D with 477.000km is one) and as far as my own cars are concerned...there isn't much left I haven't already changed/modified...

The "slang" in the posts is probably caused by the fact that the average age of the benzport members is lower as the average age of mercedesshop members...

greetingz,
