Let me not give a fuc.k here so the Benz vampires won't come and suck my blood again.

1 thing I know about BMW is their engines are "old soldier never dies" but I can't say the same for the body as the owners wreck havoc to the design (talking about the very old ones)

If any of my comment offend you, just send me a PM and I will edit/remove it, this is new year, let's start afresh.

Enough of this Benz and the others, BMW and the others, Toyota and the others. It's bullsh*t!

I'm a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast. And even I know that there are other cars trying to meet up.

Rolls Royce is better than BMW.
I'd pick a Maserati GranTurismo over a Bimmer.
Lamborghini? Ferrari? Bentley?

I love Benz. But I'm not too narrowminded to see that there are some qualities in the Rolls Royce I prefer to the Benz.
