Old people?

[Tigris]

Been to the Mercedes World today (I am now in love with the 1954 300SL) and on my way back stopped at the local petrol station. They guy working there noticed my new (new to me) Merc and commented: "why did you buy a Merc? Its an old's people car".

Old people? I drive a CLK Coupe, isn't that young enough? And isnt Mercedes in general as a brand young enough with all their inventions and innovations? WTF?

BTW- I have nothing against old people - on the contrary - the older one gets the more I appreciate and respect!

What he's actually saying is that you are wise, because we all know that wisdom comes with *cough* old age...

He will not be driving a mercedes benz when he is a old git then

Mercedes Benz cars used to be very expensive. Not far off the price of an average house (in Sydney, at least) back in the seventies and eighties.

Back then most people would've had to have worked a lifetime before they could treat themselves to a Mercedes Benz.

And I think this is why people still think MBs are for old people.

If wisdom comes with age, then I must be one of the wisest people around!!

I am 69 years old and have been driving Mercedes cars since 1982. When I get old, I will still be driving a Mercedes. UYP

Can anyone define "old" so that I can see if I am or not.
PS I like Plan B/Ben Drew's music if that helps at all.

Says more about the guy who works at the petrol station than you or the marque.

I agree with this.

Don't worry what other people think, especially starngers. Have the car you want and enjoy driving it!

I wonder what car said guy is driving?
