Ever pat the dashboard and thank your car?!

[Gucci]

Well today I drove to sunny Suffolk and back. It took 4 hours to get back (twice the normal time) due to accident on QE2 bridge. Stop start stop start, engine on, off, on, off, on, creep forward, edge out those trying to queue jump (another handy attribute of the ML). Quite a bit to sit through for man and machine! But, all taken in the car's stride, fuel was ok, temperature stayed good... a pat on the dashboard

Usually after the wife has been driving to say well done (and sorry).

ROFLMAO

Never a truer word said, My wife scuffed a wheel the other day, I felt phyically sick when I saw it, Had to say sorry to the car as I put it away in the garage, I promised the car "she" ( the wife ) would NEVER drive "her" ( the car ) again !

O and made the wife buy a new wheel, £800 lesson for her

True story

I always pat the dash and say "well done" as we go over each 1000 miles. Next one will be tuesday on my way to work when we cross 152 k

"We" - sums it up nicely; man and machine in perfect harmony

I don't know about patting the dash but I've punched it a few times.

OK, I was in my Saab 9-3 at the time and the dash rattles would get the better of me.

Thankfully the Merc dash is as quite now as it was when it rolled off the production line 7 years ago!

I know my place. So does the car.

I should give it some oil as a reward.

Not with a 2 and 12 year old in the back it isn't!

Oh, just to be Pammy's car for a few minutes would make life worthwhile
