Have you noticed whether you car turns the heads of more males than females? This is what I've noticed in the last 3 weeks. They're mainly guys in the late 20's and younger.

In the early days of my W211 E320, it was one of a few in town. Back then I got more head turns from women in their mid 30's.

Interesting....

It would appear that the e60 turns more male heads than female. While on this subject, last night I walked into a store looking for a particular beer. They didn't have it so I walked out and started walking to another store nearby. On my way, I looked at my car and saw two teenage boys peering through my window into my car. I had them guessing that's for sure since I'm debadged. They couldn't make out what model it was. I chuckled as I walked towards the other store.

vegastrashed, or they could've been trying to to break into your car. But first looking for anything valuable they can take. But yeah the car turns more male heads because a lot of guys want this machine!!

Nah... No chance the kids were trying to break in. The parking lot is lit quite well and the neighborhood in Marina Del Rey is not a high-crime area, I think. I'm certain they were checking out the ride.
