Hey everyone,

I was thinking about this last week and on my cars:

190E = Ability to have hot air from side vents and cold air from center vent, aimed at my face. Helps keep me awake in the mornings!

300D = Its steering and braking are excellent.

What about you guys? Whats your favorite thing about your cars?

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Your dedication to that car is nothing short of inspiring.

Gotta love the convenient hood gun sight, still looking for the trigger.

A German told me that it's to help drivers discourage jaywalkers. He really hated jaywalkers.

That is what my wife christened it too, She literally found it annoying. I told her that its really handy in aiming at "bad drivers"

I even put a hood star on our baby's pram (stroller) - it looked sweet - she took it off.

The ability of going for a Sunday morning drive in the 250C down the "twisties" with the wife and ending up somewhere for some serious snuggles time. Something about that car gets her, ahem, "friendly".

Of course when SHE drives we usually end up somewhere which serves adult libations which are needed as a tonic for my nerves. She is, shall we say, a tad more "spirited" when it comes to dropping 2 gears and accelerating through the switch-backs.

Convenience locking on my 300E. Hold the key when locking to close all the windows and sunroof. Hold the key when unlocking to roll down all the windows before you get into the car.

I like the combination of SLS and cargo space in my wagon. When all the seats are folded down, including the front passenger, there's tons of room for cargo.
