Great car, great ride, somewhat masculine! Sometimes I wonder whether car makers remember why people buy their cars!
All the attributes you can think of, sure, but what is it that finally clinches the deal?
It's the ability of the car to merge with one's personality and make one swoon with pride!
So why don't they make it more feminine inside? Outside, it's now got all those alluring smooth lines...
But the insides are like futuristic machines! Not enough softness in the dashboards, or in the seats
ought to rock you gently, hold you safe as a cocoon! Warm and motherly!
When looking at the dashboard, do you sometimes miss an old fashioned gadget?
Remember the oil level? Does your Mercedes have one? I think not.
It's been replaced by the oil pressure guage, distinct from the oil level guage!
Today, the pressure guage builds up the oil pressure even when there's hardly any oil in the sump.
So pity the driver who's on the go all the time and didn't check the oil level.
The car's liable to go bust when the oil evaporates, leading to engine seizure!
Instead, the old level guage on the dashboard, with an alarm for low levels would prevent expensive repairs!
And, O Lord, if only they could put in an oil quality guage that warns us to change oils in the dusty conditions
We drive in!!
