I guess I lump all Japanese cars together. Honda, Toyota, Nissan - they are all the same to me. Shows how out of touch I am with the Gen X and Gen Z crowd. My main interaction is with my wife and kids. At 4, 7 and 10 I don't know what generation they are.

Yes, this forum is really amazing. The technical info, caliber of the people posting here, level of education and/orintelligence is way above average from what I've seen.

Gen-X, Gen-Z, ricers, whatever...a few pop in now and then and test the waters, but find us to be a bit too "geezer"-like to hang around for long...despite the age range of this crowd. The ones that come in and play the braggart, poser, or troll usually end up getting "moderated" quickly!

There are alternative Benz forums for those that want to "igga da *****z" or whatever they mean to do (or say).

Its not just grammatic proficiency.

We appreciate honesty and abundant candor that tends to blossom more often then not even in the open discussion forums. Still I admit, I and others may come across as a bit self-important at times; Even when the original meaning of the words of a posting were not intended to be portrayed as such.

Group hug, eh?
