In the mode of "putting your money where your mouth is"......
We just may keep the Mercedes to use as a 'commuter-mobile'.
It's a 1987 420SEL. 192,000 miles.
It's safe and built like a tank (safer than 99% of the rest of them anyway)
It's paid for...
It's in decent shape but not that 'perfect' that I'd want to park it out in the booneys at the mall. It's the kind of car I'll leave at the airport for example.
I can do most of the work on it myself.....
And the main thing......
Patty likes driving it.
Let me rephrase..... She REALLY likes driving it. She doesn't like the Yukon (too big for her) and about the 740....
She doesn't really get all that excited about the 740i. I think she's afraid of it being too much a 'race car' and getting tickets - so am I but what the hey.....
(I just gotta figure out the insurance on it w/o collision and some of the other 'elective' stuff. I'll keep full liability and the rest in that light.)
Now I just gotta figure out where we'll put it.
As it is right now, we don't have room for the 'extra' car in a garage or under cover. Gotta finish unpacking to free up that third stall in the house garage... We can fit two cars in there but should be able to squeze three..... hopefully.....
But..... Gotta get that insurance info to see how worth while it will be for us.
And ....
NO.
I'm not wanting to count how many cars I have right now.
Yes - It's a disease.......
