[@Hexagonaldonut]

@@slightlyevolvedtard This exactly. Doug may have bought some big, expensive, stylish cars, but they've all (with the exception of the Ferrari, obviously) been on the more subtle end of things. An Aston to a non-car person just looks like another silver luxury car. A Viper is not a super uncommon sight, and at the end of the day is still just a Dodge; mostly people might just go 'oh, cool' to it and move on. The Ford GT's probably the least subtle, but even that doesn't exactly jump out at people unless they're paying attention. As opposed to a high-end Lamborghini, which is just about the opposite of subtle. Not that I consider that a problem personally, but that's not what Doug is after.

GT is not ludicrous as some cars, but people talking about your car everywhere you go does get annoying and he said he doesn't like the part. The GT is still a practical fun driving experience and he uses it, so that's probably a decent trade off the the attention it gets.

[@DougDeMuro]

I remain shocked by how many (non-car) people dismiss the GT as "just a Ford." It's unbelievable how frequently people will see the car and just move on immediately; it's just a Ford, it doesn't say Lamborghini on it, it can't be that special. With that said, car people do notice it everywhere I go, it does get a lot of attention, and I don't drive it much.

Some quirky info: I wonder if the headlight washers and headlight beam height adjustments aren't so much features of this Mercedes, as they're features of your car being built for the Swiss and European market. I believe headlight washers have been mandated by EU since forever (at least in Nordic countries), 'cause it's one of the most obvious identifying markers to differentiate Nordic, EU and US imported cars here in Norway, and I had headlight beam height adjustment on my 2001 Ford Mondeo, at least, so I imagine it's the same story here.

[@Kobafied]

Nice review. BTW, my 1999 TJ Wrangler Sahara had the same rear seat access method of moving the front seat, with the exception that the rear seat occupants could operate the release lever. Fun fact, Chrysler and Mercedes had just merged, was it shared technology? I guess you’d have to look at the 1998 version of each vehicle.

You can't adjust the lights higher. The switch only adjusts them down. It's used for when the car is heavily loaded in the rear, or if a heavy trailer is weighing down the two hook, thus raising the front of the car. To avoid blinding oncoming traffic you can adjust the lights down manually.

Doug- “ I really don’t like cars that are super showy” Also Doug- has Ford GT

[@TerryTerius]

Honestly, I don't think the older GT is *that* showy, at least not compared to some other cars from the 2000s. It's almost understated.

[@mattdontmiss3077]

yeah also buys a literal box from mercedes

I want it. I love quirky cars as testament to my love for 02 impreza wagons and this is great, especially since Im nowhere close to dreaming of affording a G650

oh yeah, its even easier to put the seats up from behind

In was born in Spain where I grew up seeing these cars at all the great vacation beach towns, not as common as you'd think but still fairly common, makes me reminisce of the days where the G wagon was a super rare commodity in the U.S. , this car is definitely in my dream car garage, cool factor is easily at least an 8 here, I think doughs just tying not to seemed too biased because he loves it so much !

@@LearningFast not a bad move tbh. At least he really can't lose money on it lol

[@mortinsonoffice]

Doug, to move the front seats forward so that you can climb out of the car from the rear seats (see 17'26") simply press the red cap at the rear end of the actuacting lever with your left foot if you are seating in the rear left seat or with your right foot if you are seating in the rear right seat... it's ver simple, that's why Mercedes put a red cap at the end of the lever, to catch your attention!

I was thinking about this for a while but got it now! Man you are the David Attenborough of the car community! :)
