Okay so this isn't exactly an MB issue but I figured you guys might enjoy it anyway. I finally got the chance to make a "Priceless" Visa ad of my own, just like the ones that were all over the internet a few years ago.

Feel free to spread this one: I can't wait to see the look on my wife's face once she runs into this picture on some fun site :twisted:

I recently bought my wife a 4x4 van with new Nokia studded winter tires. The car has unbelieveable grip, I drove it round the icy, snowy, really twisty little country roads at 65mph / 100kmh without so much as getting it to slip, not to mention slide. I wouldn't have driven my Merc more than 40mph trough most of these turns.

Come last week: I drove my Merc to work on very very bad summer tires (I finally got around to ordering new Continentals after nearly two months of winter, but they haven't arrived yet) and noticed it was quite slippery, I had to slow down from 70mph to 40mph and really concentrate on driving.

Just one hour after that my wife drives on the very same slippery spot on this mile long straight part of the road, manages to lose control of the car at 35mph, slams on the brakes and becomes a passenger of her car which hits the ditch while going sideways, flips 180 degrees and then slams on its drivers side.

Luckily my wife and kids were unhurt but the van resembles a banana at some parts.... Well, she didn't even manage to break a single window so all I need to do is hammer it back to a remotely Mazda -shaped object again. I think I'll paint it matte black with humongous Maltese Crosses on the sides
:-D Beat-up Biker rat-van :-)

So sorry!

Maybe there were some funny noises from the exhaust, and the misses just wanted to put the car in an angle in which you could effortlessly check the muffler?

Sorry to be a bother, but those ads are made by Mastercard. LOL still funny.

Oh yeah, my bad.

Now the doggone Mazda is being repaired for about the same $ as it is worth, the cylinder head is cracked in about 5 places and unrepairable. Once again I have promised myself not to buy JApanese cars ever again.

Maybe the W123 280C Hotrod that I'm buying this weekend will soothe my pain.
