Otherwise, I'd still be driving my 1969 Plymouth Valiant. Sure, it's a little aggravating to replace the plastic headrest gear on my S350, but I really like having a headrest that goes up and down at the touch of a switch. You can buy an entire Plymouth for the cost of a Mercedes blower motor. Of course the Plymouth did not have AC to begin with.
