Claims he got on I-71 NB and merged to far left lane at 80 mph (65 speed limit). Looked up and saw a RAM pickup truck gaining really fast even though host was going 80. Claims he got over a lane and then the truck pulled over in front of him and locked up the brakes, apparently for host to RAM him? But host says he's a great driver and his car was so agile he avoided all the attempts for contact from RAM driver.
Went 5 miles or so to I-275 and took usual ramp right to EB. Saw RAM truck next to him on berm. Truck performed a pit maneuver. And all came to a stop. Host got out of car with CC in hand, but driver was out and went to nearby exit where is beat a man taking him out of his 250, fled south toward Cincy on highway and ended up RAMming through closed garage doors at business.
I somehow suspect there's more to initial interaction otherwise why would RAM driver pick this one speeder out. Maybe because he was in a Porsche?
No pictures of Porsche. Host says he's shopping for a new car now. He used to do ads for Porsche and this was a 2015, so it may have been a perk at the time.
Talk show host says he was told the driver was arguing with his father hence the floating anger.

2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
As I caught up and passed him I noticed he had the dreaded “drift“ set up on the rear wheels with high inward camber. It seems he had not considered the wear characteristics of driving on the highway because he was tossing chunks of tread off the rear tires. I was surprised that his tires were still holding air.
Assuming he made it home I don’t think he would be doing any drifting.

But that is small potatoes compared to their most recent discovery, the "stunting" ticket. I hate that dumb name but it got put in the traffic regulations a few years ago and while it covers a variety of sins the most easily used one is speeding more than 50 km/h (30mph) over the posted limit. It has a $2400 fine and your car gets impounded for a week. These now seem to be a near-daily occurrence and are always accompanied by a press release trumpeting their success. The most recent one was on the main expressway leading into town, where the limit drops from 62.5 (100 km/h) to 31 (50km/h) while still seeming to be an expressway, just before it ends at a surface street. The radar cops lurk just at the end of the highway behind a conveniently-placed building on the first intersection and have been raking in tickets there for some time. The one this week was particularly good, an 18 y-o caught doing 137 km/h (84mph) in the 30 mph zone. I can imagine his life will be hellish for the next while. Of course this has caused the cycling activists and pearl-clutchers on local social media to decry all the nuts behind the wheel who are out to get them, and ponder why we don't have laws requiring limiters preventing cars from exceeding 70mph.

And when it's done, daddy's lawyer will still get a certain demographic out of any accountability.
Locally, 99% of enforcement is speed-related, while in my anecdotal experience, red light running, distracted driving, non-signaling, dumb U-turn making, LLCing etc, is off the charts - it's like those few weeks when people stayed home more made the drones forget how to drive.
Not looking promising. They may not even call me back.

Those idiots can't fix the problem and don't want to have any further discussions about the issue with the wipers not clearing the water correctly from my windshield.
If that's the way Mercedes Benz treats their customers then people should avoid buying their cars. I have purchased 22 cars from Mercedes and this is the thanks I get!

I do think age played a part in getting Audi to cover my AC issues at 53,000 miles, technically 3,000 after warranty. The A3 was designed to bring younger folk into the Audi family, and saying "screw you about the AC" wasn't the way to achieve that goal. Good call, I've since bought 2 more S models and a CPO A model. No way that would have happened if Audi told me to pound sand.
And I can still get you a sweet deal on a 5 Series or 7 Series...

Is that the tree you cut down? Looks like it fell in a good place. Better than this guy;

I am PO'd that Mercedes refuses to do anything more to solve the problem.

The Guy cut down that tree. It;s way beyond what my little chainsaw could handle.
A branch that came down on the other side of the yard was about the same size, may be bigger.
Isn't there a RainX with the chemical in the fluid?
I would think that rather than applying a coating to a windshield that may have some volatility in extremely hot sunshine and depending on its being effective when a heavy rain occurs it would be better to applying RainX when the rain event occurs.
Put it in your windshield washer bottle and apply as needed when needed during a rain event.
or an additive

Parked there for several days because the key on his remote died? LOL

I’m waiting on the wife to call me back. If she doesn’t, no biggie!
My Acura dealer has a store within 15 minutes of where I live and I’ve done 7 transports for them, and it looks like I’ll have another one either today or early next week. They also have an Acura store in Dayton. They have two Hyundai stores....one across the street from my Acura dealer, and another further into the city. They have a Kia and Honda dealership, too.
I asked the GM at the Acura dealership if he could set up an appointment with their VP who’s over all of their stores to see if I can snag their local transport biz. He said he would. If that happens (and I have no insight whether it will or won’t), I won’t do any long distance transfers, anymore. Then again, I don’t know if I want to work that hard. I kind of like only working every once in a while.
That car on the left is one fine looking vehicle!

I expect nothing in the way of solving this problem satisfactorily on the part of MBUSA, but I had to go on record to detail the frustration I have been experiencing with the chattering and skipping of the wipers in moderate to heavy rain and the lack of positive experiences with the customer care administrator.
If I ever have an accident caused by poor visibility in rain caused by the wipers, I will have everything documented.

I swore that I would never practice law again when I finished up my judicial service, but I was offered the city attorney gig and it was fairly low pressure and I worked from home 90% of the time. When I didn’t get appointed Commonwealth’s Attorney I almost certainly wouldn’t have run but but for the fact I was jerked around in the appointment process and the appointee went on to fire my friend’s wife.
I ended up winning my election and the Governor(who decided not to appoint me) didn’t- so there’s that.

I think that I mentioned this before, but that governor had a horrible track record with respect to his appointees getting elected. One of his appointees who did win is a friend and he barely won- mainly due to his name recognition. Another of the gov's "success stories" is the Northern Kentucky judge who is now in hot water for allegedly having sex with coworkers in her chambers, along with drinking beer and Fireball Whiskey on the job...
