Beautiful monster

What you need to know:

  • I fired up my simple engine. Are you even allowed to say you fired it up? I drove slowly out of the parking wondering whether Mr. bold head changes the tyre of the Gelanderwagen himself when he gets a flat or he has a guy for that. Probably a guy that does nothing all day but follow behind him in a car waiting to change tyres.

The pearl white Mercedes G Wagon comes to a neat stop in the parking lot of this mall somewhere in Kololo. The sound the engine of this car makes is pretty much the most remarkable thing you can hear in the world today.

Now I say that with a lot of conviction. The sound is like 100 engines crammed into a single engine bay of the imposing vehicle that even newborn babies will crane their necks to look at.

I had just paid my parking ticket and was on my way out. When I saw this beautiful monster I walked a little slower to admire the vehicle. Not in an obvious stalker kind-of-way but with a touch of subtlety. A G wagon is the kind of a car that you can refer to as a beautiful monster.

Wait I’m I sounding like I spend the whole daydreaming of G Wagons? Far be from it. That truthfully happens only once in a while. I even don’t have a stash of video reviews on the car.

Anyhow, I took a detour from the direction of my humble car to get one final glimpse of the German creation. Oh I forgot. You are not certain what a G Wagon is. Well does the name Mercedes Cross Country ring a bell? No it doesn’t? Do you like live under a rock?

Anyway, a man with an easy-on-the eye looking woman oozed out of the car. This man had a shinny baldhead, and was clad in a white tee and distressed blue jeans.

Noticing the way they held hands tightly I immediately deduced that she wasn’t his sister or relative if you are the kind that wants to widen the sample size. And no I’m not the weirdo that stares at people. I was just umm er trying to find my car keys.

What job does a man who owns a G Wagon do? Does he ever eat popcorn in the car? Who are his friends? Does he ever let them drive the G Wagon by themselves? Is he accepting new friends? Does he refer to his car as a G Wagon or does he go the full route and say Gelandewagen.

I fired up my simple engine. Are you even allowed to say you fired it up? I drove slowly out of the parking wondering whether Mr. bold head changes the tyre of the Gelanderwagen himself when he gets a flat or he has a guy for that. Probably a guy that does nothing all day but follow behind him in a car waiting to change tyres.
