I guess no has seen the video of a Benz flipping on its roof @ 140mph on the Autobahn and sliding on its roof for a quarter mile, the driver gets out and scratches his head

Best crash test ever--made me a customer for life

He is home. Thank GOODNESS. Nuff said. But not for us, no not for us.

Respectfully may I inquire what the fixation on THE BENZ is all about? From my point of view a person could pocket $50 to $100 K and still drive a new vehicle that is equally safe. I can't remember what year it was but I sold my 420 SEL the week after Princess Diana succumbed to the injuries she sustained while being a passenger in a large model Mercedes. I don't have that kind of scratch anymore but if I did I would rather look at the nice balance in the market than pay that much for a car. Am I allowed to move into The Villages if I don't own a German Car? We drive Ford because they are American and they didn't ask for a bailout. Thank God this man got home to his family safely, he was on our mind.

I'm with you. First, thank God he is OK. Second, I have a Buick and a Chrysler, made in the USA. Once, only once in the last 40 years did I own a foreign car, a Toyota Avalon. Gave it back after a year when it accelerated to 100 mph on it's own. Oh, my bad, I forgot. Toyota sent an engineer from New Jersey who told me that it never happened. I sent them a letter with the car asking if I was a fool or a liar. And their response--none.

Thank God I don't have to do the German car thing. I'm a German myself but I don't think the MORON steel is worth the $$$$$$. Maybe I'll compromise & purchase a Benz Golf Cart with airbags?????

Sprechen sie Deutsch? Meine grossmutter ist aus Deutcshland. Auf Wiedersehn fur heute.

Glad to hear he was OK, probably just needed to cool off. One another post, you can afford to buy a Mercedes Benz but can't buy a roll of tape?

Nope just a little Spaglish! German is a beautiful language to listen to. My father spoke it loudly sometimes and even though I didn't know what he was saying I surely knew what he wanted to do. Great memory.

I think you may have confused Nucky with another poster. The tape guy was unhappy about being charged $0.83 to tape a package at a local UPS store; Nucky doesn't live here yet, but hopefully soon!

And we all know he is moving here for the lobster. He just won't admit it yet.

Isn't that why we all moved here?? Possible exception: BF:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

NO it wasn't me grousing about $0.83. I would never go to a package delivery service without my package being taped and prepared otherwise they may see the content's and be tempted. I remember getting a chuckle out of that silly post. I'm an easy going guy if I forgot to prepare the package I would pay the charge with a smile because in a small business it's not easy to keep the lights on everybody wants but nobody wants to pay.

When we are fortunate enough to join you lucky people I will do my best to be patient, courteous, friendly, helpful & try not to cry over details that seem to drive everyone nuts. Please remind me if I ever shed a teardrop.:sing:

. You've just made me so sad Nucky. Now get down here before there is another blizzard in NJ, and GE and BF get in another tiff.
