You may have a point there. My mama used to say "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"
Wait, maybe that was my aunt...


We are simply entertaining each other. I am usually laughing AT myself as I yak that stuff into my voice recorder. It's not intended to be serious. No one is denigrating anybody else's car or tastes. In a backwards direction, we are expressing what we do like, too.

Personally, I enjoy hearing opinions contrary to mine. I find other perspectives interesting, and sometimes even mind changing.

At least for me, please don't let anything I ever say bother you. I love you, love your cars, and I REALLY enjoy your contributions here. I am absolutely confident that I can speak for everyone here when I say that!

Well Mr. Klink thank you for that insightful rant and for your disdain for woodies. I have never really noticed the differences in feel with a multi textured steering wheel. I think my W212 has a wood and leather wheel but I'm too lazy to run out to the garage and take a look. I think the wood/leather wheels are more elegant, but I agree with you that the 500E should be all business whether it be class or function. However, I wood like one just to see how it looks and feels.

Indeed, I often like the look. Some of them are absolutely beautiful. It really is a "feel" thing with me. I may also have a semi-conscious aversion to it that is kind of a fear of scratching it/wearing it out. I mean, there it is, this beautifully finished and difficultly formed piece of workmanship, and you always have your hands all over it, the exact opposite of how I would treat any other piece of wood work in the vehicle. That is definitely a part of it, too.

At his age, Mrs. Klink may disagree!

oh mate..I almost got WOOD there
But mate...i did not take it personal at all..but thank you for "clarifying" anyways
It was just as much a rant from me and how i look it in general...as what you said was a rant.

but thank you for kind Words....anyways

Agreed, Klink.

But for some reason I have been wanting a wood shift knob in the Benzes like the one in the Audi. Leather steering wheel; wood shift knob.

But the damned Chestnut wood in the S55 is unobtanium as a shift knob (though I did see a RennTech one on eBay), as is the "24-year old perfectly faded wood" color shift knob for the 500E (which I don't think they make). But I won't be looking at some plastic V8 sticker on the top of any shift knob. Ever.

I did, however, upgrade the M3 shift knob to the Alcantara one that came with the Competition Package.

maw

I am selling the burlwood shift knob in my '92, it looks like this one; http://www.ebay.com/itm/T)-Shift-Kn...015&item=351576210914&refid=a2eurotec&vxp=mtr

Just PM me if you're interested.
