Mark graciously answered with a counter example of athletes. He was talking about the trainings he does to inculcate leadership skills in individuals and how powerful the skill was. I was in the middle of a an entrepreneurship session with one of the pioneers, Mark Searle from Berkely University. Just like with any good things in life it comes at a price Might not have been the easiest ownership. I don't just want to talk about it with an enthusiast lens but also through socioeconomic and psychological perspectives which are discussed or even observed far lesser in comparison. Through this thread, I wanted to share the continuing journey of how we bought and are owning a Mercedes W211 E280 CDI E-Klasse after yearning for a German car for almost a decade. Even more so at this vintage of fifteen years it's would painstakingly hard to keep one running if not impossible. A major component going wrong or a accident outside the seven year zero-depreciation insurance period would be enough for an owner to swear one of these brands out for their life. Well, that's a story for another dayĮveryone in the community agrees that these cars are relatively harder to take care of. Umm that's kind of what the governments do these days oops. This little child amongst all of us irrespective of our current age loves to be coddled in the laps of luxury, loves to feel safe like we were with our parents and loves to be have a blast on the open roads without worrying about fuel economy as if money can just be printed like that. It's no news but why is it so? German engineers over the last century have near perfected the art turning engineering into enthusiastic little toys for the car loving child that lives within us. Most of us on this forum would agree that Germans stand at the top of the car food-chain. "Where curiosity meets forbidden fruit, the heart wrestles between the desire for pleasure and the fear of consequences." BHPian cefiljoseph recently shared this with other enthusiasts. ![]()
