I know what you mean. My cars are now out of warranty, and I have a very
good local mechanic who takes care of both. Although both cars have
close to 100,000 miles, I have spent a lot more on the Benz than I have
on the Lexus. The biggest expense on teh Lex was my last minor service
at the dealer.

as an owner of both, I like my benz better, the lexus is a fine car if
you just want to get from here to there but for people who really
enjoy driving the benz is far superior


Benz far superiour? Interesting. Which of each do you have?

I think what he's saying is that when it's running properly, the Benz is
a superior driving machine.

That's like saying a NASCAR entry is superior.

Unfortunately for the Germans, many people want their cars to work all
the time--not just on Sundays, or whenever they feel like it.
