Amen to that. My first RTS was Command & Conquer Gold. I used to spend hours on a dial-up link against my buddy. With him as GDI and myself as NOD, the strong offense vs. strong defense games lasted forever..and I loved them!

My Mercedes has automatic lights, although I always turn them on early, because I like the look of the fog lights on w/ the driving lights (and fog lights will not go on in auto setting). And I always give a thank you wave. However, I drive the cheapest Mercedes they sell (2005 C230 Kompressor sedan - 4 cylinder), so the other Mercs tend to treat me like a bastard child.
