[W126 Coupe] rear parking sensors

[gerryvz]

Indeed, if one was going to put some major effort into a mod, parking sensors wouldn't be my choice of it. Simply because the benefit isn't worth the amount of effort, particularly for something that I'd use perhaps 5% of the time I actually park the car. 95% of the time when I park my SEC I use pull-in spaces with plenty of space around them (this is Texas ... everything is bigger here including parking spaces), not parallel parking (where a park sensor would be most handy).

Thankfully, I did not see Cascade in Stuttgart (nor Teutone, nor any of the other gaggle of Benzworld.org 126 forum Neanderthals). Only God knows what I would have done if I'd seen him/them. All I know is that if Cascade/Teutone et al  ever shows their faces on my 500E forum, he's going to wish they hadn't expended the effort to do so. Has Cascade actually ever been outside of US borders?
