My dad had a whole range of different vehicles to drive. But for some reason, whenever we went anywhere I would always insist on going in one of the Benz's. So even as a Kid, I could tell there was something special about a Benz. What a BRAT I was. lol
Anyway, I've loved the brand as long as I can remember. And even though my affection has waned a bit in more recent times, which has had the positive outcome of opening me up to other brands such as BMW, Audi and more recently Lexus, I still have the deepest respect and admiration for Mercedes. I trust completely that they will restore the brand to its rightful position.
