I personal get nervous on back of a motorcycle, but if I am driving I have no problems.
I also get nervous riding in little Hondas, aka portable coffins, as such when coworkers and I got to lunch we take the big Mercedes. Few months back I had to ride to DC, from Raleigh NC, in a Acura want to be sedan/sports car. I ached for days. Did the trip last week in W126 and it was actually fun and comfortable.

You can't fall off an airplane...at least not most of them. ;) You've always got a solid-looking floor under you. Psychologically speaking a ladder feels much more precarious. I've also known pilots who got nervous on commercial flights. It was a control issue, for them. Kind of like people who drive fine but get anxious when someone else is at the wheel. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
