A small but great feature I love on my own W222 is the windshield washer; small slits in the rubber wiper blades is where the heated fluid comes out, so you never have a dry wipe and zero overspray (though I miss being able to shower an annoying driver behind me). There’s also a delayed single wipe to catch any drips. It’s all part of what makes the S truly special… Das Beste oder Nichts!

[@thethomasj1795]

I drive a 2010 W221. It lacks the autonomous features, but my God what a car! It's the most comfortable, most powerful luxury sedan I have ever driven. I love that car!

Also l lived in Brussels for 12 years and the Belgian secret police would follow us around in blue S classes near the red light district and once one got out in a black suit came up to a group of us and asked what we were doing around here and we said just visiting friends and having a drink then they told us get out the area if we knew what's good for us, to which one of our friends told him "donder op aye man" then we all joined in and he got back in the car and pissed off hehe. He probably had a stash of uzzies in there as they normally do.

One of the funniest car reviews I have heard.

[@mustafastokely4962]

Bill, I appreciate the way your neurons fire, (or would you prefer misfire?!) in a free-associated way. You are a very knowledgeable person, and that much becomes apparent as you ramble on about whatever car you happen to be introducing to us. An example? Why not, Bill, as he walks towards a menacing looking Merc S Class: "This Mercedes S Class sedan with the such-and-such designation was one of 12,000 made in Stuttgart, in the second half of 2019, and more specifically, it was number 23 of the 50 produced in the basement of the factory, which in essence houses the new and super-secret special-projects office, during the months of September and October. If you will notice the gap here in the left half of the dash, and why they have to put gaps in dashboards in the 21st century, I will never know. But, what can you do?! It is what it is... Anyway, if you look into that gap, (which is .4 mm in width, so you will have to have very good eyes, (and it would help if your name was Steve Austin and you were a former astronaut who crashed his special aircraft into the ground at Warp 5!) You will notice that there is a faint red glow. Well, this is unique to this particular platform, as the data transfer point housed in this area was built in Helsinki, Finland, and it was during a particularly rough time when it was difficult to get the more common blue lights that the Finns opted for red replacement bulbs in around 40 Merc S Class platforms. By the way, never trust the Finns! They are always up to something, at least I think they are, and my good friend Agmar from an obscure village in the country side of Finland always had a favorite saying: "When you stab them, make it count!" Well, Agmar was in the Finnish special forces (at least that is what he tells us, which doesn't explain the 20-year stint he did in a prison in Norway, but I digress...) So, where was I... Oh! No!... Wait!!.... Did you hear that?! It is the roosters again! God d@mn it! Why are they still making such noise, at four-o clock in the afternoon I will never know! I think they know I am here, and it is no secret that they hate me! Maybe I should send Agmar after them. I bet he would give them a talking to!... Anyway, let me get inside this thing so that we can take it for a ride..." At any rate, I LOVE watching your episodes, and I think you're one heck of an interesting individual. (And I strongly agree with Patrick Withers, who below writes, "Bill - the yardstick for all other car reviewers.") - Thank you for all the funny and clever lines that may or may not have caused hot tea to come out of my nostrils! :D
