Awhile back I was out and about and pulled the 560SEL up to a stop light. On my right sat a woman in a W210. I carefully sized up her car; I noted the massive amounts of metal missing due to the "right sizing" and "down sizing" of her car. I also noted her plastic ware bumpers versus the steel bumpers on a 300D. The 560 DWARFED her car in size. When the light changed to green, I pressed on the go pedal........her medium lab ate the exhaust from my BIG GERMAN SHEPHERD.
