I guess some of us got into MB for various reasons. 30 years back I stumbled into a MB dealership. The car salesman took the time to show me a stack of photographs of mercedes that had been involved in HORRIFIC accidents. He knew the stories of the survivors, most of the owners had walked away from the accident with only a few scratches.

Over the years, I've sat in the hospital rooms of many friends and neighbors for various health conditions and witnessed first hand what can happen to you the moment you are admitted to a hospital.

IMHO, if a MB KEEPS YOUR A** OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, THE CAR TURNED OUT TO BE A H*LL OF AN INVESTMENT.
