I'm obviously imagining this.

Looks like you can't differentiate between model names and internal class designations.
The vehicle in the picture you posted is badged ML350, it belongs to the M class category.
It is Not ML neither of ML class category cos non of them exists.
There is no Mercedes Benz SUV called ML and no Mercedes Benz class called ML class.
You should never use ML alone to describe any Benz vehicle or any Benz class category.

Don't let a vehicle badge confuse you.
The highlander is badged Highlander in America

and elsewhere but called Kluger in Japan and Australia.

You're not making any sense, seeing as the car is called the ML. The Class name is an entirely different matter, I never referred to it as the ML Class.

Abi do you see M350 here?

The Mercedes ML was renamed to the Mercedes GLE. How is that debatable?
Am surprised you are saying this and said am not making sense?
There's no Mercedes Benz vehicle that's called ML.
You can't use ML to identify any generation of Mercedes vehicles.
You only use ML when you are referring to a particular Mercedes SUV and you must use the ML with an accompanying number to identify the vehicle e.g (ML320)
You can't just say ML, cos it doesn't exist.
Accept your mistake let's move on, Nobody is above error...not even you. cool

Please show me where I ever said "ML Class". Show me, I'm waiting.

It's the M Class, and the car model is the ML. I don't even get the point you're trying to make. Did anyone say otherwise in the first place?
Oga you said ML to GLE.
Should have been M to GLE sir.
M class exists, GLE class exists.
ML class doesn't.
You get the point now wink

I never quite abuse anyone. I'm just condescending, it's an acquired taste.

Educate me, sir.
It's wrong to try to make mockery of my post when you did exactly the same thing.
The SUV you are referring to is called "M class" and not "ML class"
ML class doesn't exist but people refer to the M class as ML and we have all been fine.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't bring this up cos it doesn't serve any purpose.

Nah, it's not oversabi. It's the willingness to learn constantly, daily. To engage in discourse and learn as much as I can. And to educate ignoramuses. You see, the problem with ignoramuses isn't that they're ignorant; it's that they have a penchant for spreading false information and corrupting others.

That must be stopped. I'm not talking with you to correct you. You're already too far gone. I do this to prevent people that don't know any better from picking up the silly bits of misinformation you and that other ignoramus like to spread.

As always, if i make a claim you think is wrong. Feel free to provide evidence showing why it's wrong, and maybe I'll agree with you if your evidence is solid. That is, after all, why we're educated people. Unless you're not, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

You just made a claim, for example.
"Do you know that there's nothing like ML?"

No, I don't, sir. Here's where you educate me, providing factual data. I'm counting on you.[/quote]I will educate you if you promise to always make your points on this thread without using abusive language.

That's what they say when they know they've chatted absolute shite. I'll quote you all I want, mister. I don't recall you ever buying Nairaland.

He say former name and present name. grin
The ML was renamed to the GLE.
The GL was renamed to the GLS.

You're way off key, since GLE and GL are not the same car at all. grin

Again, stop spouting nonsense. This is papa giving you wisdom, for free.
Mr ITK do you know that there's nothing like ML angry

I wonder why you should be responding to some known dude , he was messed at ikenma351 thread .. where he called Puegeot French bucket, he repeated that funny attitude again at Jaguar where he called British cars unreliable , folks like phaks007 , nobody and others where on him! Nonhuman was the creator of that thread!

I have personally learnt to ignore and never take that guy serious... They laugh at him everywhere! Ask erico2k2

This is a man that called British cars unreliable piece of junk, French cars as French bucket and German cars as Rust bucket .... So you have the energy responding to him

He forgot that Benz started the Body on frame SUV with ML and then GL is a unibody though ... Abeg na you get time !

Me I take super car blondie more serious
Thanks
I didn't know he is a lunatic...next time I will go through a monikers previous posts before I reply them.
So many mad people on this thread.

If you actually knew what the hell you were saying, you would, for one, know that there was no GLE in 2010. There was an ML. The car they're talking about is the GL450. You'd also know that the QX56 could come in either RWD or AWD.

You'd then also know that torque is a lot more important than horsepower, especially in a vehicle of that weight. That's why big trucks come with diesels.

If you knew what you were saying, you'd know that the QX56 was a proper body-on-frame vehicle, and was a brother to proper off-roaders like the Nissan Titan, Nissan Armada, Nissan Frontier, and Nissan Xterra. Cars that can lay claim to conquering the backroads of the Middle East.

The Mercedes GL, on the other, was a unibody vehicle based on the ML. Attempting to pass it off as the superior off-road vehicle is completely laughable. Feel free to educate yourself on the differences between body-on-frame and unibody construction.

You just don't know what the hell you're saying, though, so I guess you can almost be forgiven. Spec sheet warrior. Anybody can run to Google to parrot numbers, but don't attempt to talk about things you know nothing of.

I wonder why I even bother replying you anymore. Never have I seen an individual so confident in their total lack of knowledge, nuance, and in certain situations, simple logical computing abilities. It's the eight wonder of the world, really.
I've warned severally to stay off my posts when you see them , I have nothing to explain to you, since you have chosen to remain arrogant and so full of yourself.
I can choose to call the Mclass GL or GLE it's just former name and present name and.....it's none of your business how I choose to call it.

Which beast? That vehicle produces a measely 335 hp and it weighs over 6000 Lbs undecided
Most of you will just start typing to make someone laugh on this thread. grin
The 2010 Mercedes GLE 450 is a Beast.
It a certified True OFF ROAD Mercedes Benz SUV.

Let's do a little comparison since that's what you guys have turned this thread to.
Let's compare The GLE 450 that has a V8, 4.7l engine
With an infiti Suv with a larger engine of the same year.

Let's pick Qx56( V8,5.6l) grin

The GLE 450 makes 335hp@6000 rpm vs
Qx56 makes 320hp@5200
The GLE450 Torgue 339@2700rpm vs
Qx56 Torgue 393@ 3400rpm.
The GLE has a 7 speed transmission vs
Qx56 5 speed transmission
GLE450 is a 4matic(AWD)
Qx56 is RWD

From the above which vehicle do you think should be faster , more powerful and qualifies to be called a beast among its peers cool

Let me not even talk about reliability of the two.
Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by shortgun(m): 8:50pm On Jun 09, 2020
Coolcash1:
i bought this 2010 Benz GL450 4matic in February this year from another user. The former owner used to drive it to work everyday (less than 5km) and do other errands (picking up of his kids from school and travelling).

however, when ownership was transferred to me, i decided to make it an occasional vehicle i.e. parties and church which is only on weekends just to reduce the cost of fueling and maintenance.

But i met someone (a benz user) who advised against such practice that Benz are like planes designed to be driven everyday and not parked for long. Is this assertion true?

Also, is my current practice of not driving it everyday bad for the car? What are the risks involved?
You've got all the advice u need.
I will like to add that you also need to floor the gas pedal sometimes..do this only if you can tame the beast grin grin

Lol Benz has better luxury? Weytin man no go hear. Just like Poloyanabo1 said, you've only seen a few Audi's. I blame the Yahoo boys and musicians who have tainted your minds.

That's a cool Audi R8 below.
Let's be objective in this discussion pls.

Ok, now choose a Benz model that's same year, engine power and trim with an Audi ..let's compare.

MrBrownJay1:
- there is a huge difference between getting a babe to change her mind about sex AND putting your hands on her....
- if that "extra push" means dragging her screaming to your bedroom, then i beg to differ...
- in this day and age, if the legs dont magically open as you kiss/lick her neck etc, then dont go near that forbidden area...
- even if she agrees, let you lick/finger the toto, and as you are about to get in, she says stop....then you best stepback or you will certainly end up in jail for rape. we men cant begin to try to understand why some women do what they are doing, you just have to respect their wishes and throw her the hell out your house for wasting your goddamn time.
Ok

Bro..from experience 90% of Nigerian girls will not enter your bedroom and just remove pant like that even if she had agreed to sex before coming.
They always crave for that extra push from the guy before opening leg....I don't know why they do this.

TravelRe: Reps Ban Airlines From Canada, UK For Denying Nigeria Landing Rights by shortgun(m): 4:05pm On May 30, 2020
RuudVanNisteroy:
By the time they retaliate and ban Nigerians from immigrating to UK and Canada that is when we will realize the ramifications of attempting to fight with nations that stick to their laws. Why try to force a country to accept an airline to land in the country,owned by a wanted fugitive, who stands to financially benefit from the evacuation?

Canada and UK are one of the few countries left open to Nigerians, and now the Reps are looking to close that door shocked

I decided to prepare it myself yesterday.
It was difficult to make.... especially the beans washing.
I practically had to remove the husk one by one....very time consuming.. angry
The beans I had was already infested by insects, weevils I think but I can't allow food to waste.
Kindly rate my beans washing in a scale of 1-10.
Are there other easy ways and faster ways to wash beans for moi moi.
