| Three things I really like about my 126
1. The large dash turn signal indicators. They're so much less glaring because they're large.
2. Doors which, even after 20 years, close with a serious 'thunk'.
3. People, 'bout once a month, say, "hey...that's a nice lookin' Mercedes..." It's nothing special, I don't think, but to me it's the last of the S-class machines which looked like they 'should'.
There are plenty of other things, too, but these three have jumped out at me in the past few days.
One thing I love is being able to traverse pretty much any semi-paved terrain at speeds, and in comfort, which would make other machines fall apart.
