Love my new Mercedes but have to admit it makes me feel like I need a membership at a country club now, too.

Even so, prefer it to riding Metro and having to be around smelly people and inane, chatty types who don't know how to leave work at the office.

I think most people are terrible drivers and you just happen to notice when it's a BMW or Mercedes (or Prius) and not when it's something else.

Don't get me started on Prius drivers...

I've encountered a number of bad Mercedes drivers recently, but agree with others that BMW drivers are the absolute worst of the worst.

Whenever I see a Mercedes in front of me, I know it's moving at 25 mph because the driver is in his/her 60-70s. I've always wondered why most of the Mercedeses and convertibles in this area are driven by old people.

I went from owning a Volvo that I bought used and 8 years old when purchased to buying a Mercedes that was 2 years old. The way I drive didn't change. Except that I know people think all sorts of terrible things about me just because I now own a Mercedes, so I am always extra nice.

Prius drivers are incompetent. Totally different.

Mercedes drivers are always assholes. I have always wanted a MB and now that I can afford one, I would never buy one for this particular reason.

Yup. BMWs are purposely aggressive while Mercedes drivers simply don't have a clue how to drive...

My experience is that a disproportionate number of rude drivers drive a Mercedes.
