| Re: THE G 55 AMG Now gets 500hp This was part of my response to someone on this forum after he asked why i have become this way: "I understand the safety nanny system well enough that current data backs me up 100%. What more can you say? The data is there. Sure, someone can say that they don't need something...i agree. However, some people go on & on about how a good driver is all that is needed and that these systems contribute to world hunger, etc.. All bullshit IMHO. I come here to learn about my G and provide help where i can. I did not come to this forum to hear MBUSA bashings. It is a damn shame when after a hard day at work, i come home and read how shitty my MBUSA G is! And it's the same people over and over again. Here is a question for you XXXX...how come you do NOT see ANY MBUSA owner bashing the older G's on this forum or Benzworld?? Ever. Even when windows fail, axle leaking, desolving into rust buckets, or transmission failure on the old G, MBUSA owners keep quiet and offer help when possible. Why is that??? Why is it that I (and other MBUSA owners) respect the older G as much as our own...and yet some cannot do the same to us????? Isn't that common courtesy?? My mother taught me that long time ago. There is an invisible line among the new and old owners. This is just plain stupid IMHO. And it's just not me alone...other MBUSA owners have been fed up." I guess that i will be going to TIME OUT pretty soon, huh Dutch?  Well, if you guys don't see me for a while, then you know what happened to me....  | ||

| ewalberg Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Past: San Francisco. Present: Germany Vehicle(s): 2000 g500 Posts: 1887  | RE: THE G 55 AMG Now gets 500hp MBUSA first starting importing the g-wagen into the US in 2002 after the interior was updated. Thuse any g-wagens here before that date are pre-mbusa. Thai, the reason people of all years (accept you) basically keep their mouth shut and listen is because we're here to learn. In addition to that, and more painfully, the newer trucks (including mine) have nothing but that too look forward to... only worse because we (you AND I) have more electronics. That's a fact. Not a potentially manipulated statistic, and not marketing literature. Essentially, if you kept your truck for 30 years and put 300,000-400,000 miles on it, it would be a damned miracle if it didn't cost a lot more to own that the trucks that are approaching that now. It's something to accept (which i do for my truck which is in that boat as far as i'm concerned)... and the last reason that people may not comment is because the latest and greatest lovers probably don't care or even read it in the first place becuase they'll sell before they have the problems. They accept the additional expenditure of keeping new cars and don't need to exercise their napoleon complex becasue they don't care if someone else says they love their old beast. They don't need to prove anybody wrong. Why do i think this isn't the only place you have trouble with people not agreeing with your undeniable logic? your probably not the only one that needs a time out, because i can't seem to shut up either.   | |

Why do i think this isn't the only place you have trouble with people not agreeing with your undeniable logic? First, don't worry, you are safe from "Time Out" because you own the same year as Dutch!  Second, i don't think that everyone has kept their mouth shut...see above response by Jimmy and others (on Benzworld) I am here to learn too Erik...but, what is the value of it all if all i hear is how shitty MBUSA G is????? Seriously, tell me. And if these criticisms were half true, then i would not mind...but holy cow, some of these statements are downright wrong and illogical. Yes, i have no problem with the high upkeep costs of modern vehicles due to electronics. What i have been telling you is that it is worth it IMHO for my family safety. However, do i need to be reminded about how shitty the electronics are...when there is clear evidence that this is NOT the case???!! And unlike your generalizations (false, bTW), I, along with many others, do plan on keeping my G for a very long time. Obviously, my resale value tanked with the first off-roading trip!  I get along with some and not with others...i don't lose sleep over it. Unlike you, i don't kiss ass anyone nor care to go through life blind. I point out when you are wrong...and i expect the same in return. | ||

| RE: Thai DUTCH - 9/10/2006 3:20 PM Thai, Your biggest problems on ths forum are: 1.) You attack people personally and call them names. 2.) Your language is foul. Fix those two problems and you won't have to sit through any more time outs. Attack people personally?? And call people names?? Are you bias or what, Dutch?!! What the hell are you talking about??  "Shitty"...that's foul language? Even when it refers to electronics in my message?? And the last part was a threat, right?? Please. What are you going to do now?? Edit this post too?! Thanks Dutch for your post...but it is clear how bias you are in this discussion. Edited by Thai 9/10/2006 4:54 PM | ||
