deserves...."

Hmmm, since passing on the right is illegal in Germany, and those who do so are
subject to a very high fine, this tidbit must explain why Mercedes' have a
reputation for sitting in the left lane.  They're not bad drivers (illegal,
actually) they're only preserving the honor of the marque.

I can picture the scenario now:  "Well, you see Officer.  I'm driving a Mercedes
and I have a right, a duty even, to make sure no uppity Golfs pass me.  I did
pull over to let that Porsche 911 by, though."

"A rose, by any other name, smells just as sweet... " respects to Shakespeare or
maybe Dunne; dunno.
