So a funny exchange happened the other day between my wife and the mercedes mechanic who came to drop off our G after a service.

Quote:
mechanic: What have you being doing to your car? There was so much mud in the engine compartment we needed to steam clean it.

my wife: Why using it off-road of course.

mechanic: What?!?! No!

my wife: Why? Its a 4x4 and thats what its made for...

mechanic: No! Not for off-road use! For driving around the city.... it should never be driven off-road!
I guess the 4 wheel drive is only meant for getting over curbs then... :lol:

Such is the knowledge of the average mechanic of the G....

:cry:

Depressing thought.
