Sad decision...Likely selling my 300SDL

As much as I love the car, and it IS a great ride, I need to face reality and sell it.
Fact is, at 6"5" tall, I can't sit up in it, unless I crack the sunroof and poke my head out. Even then, I can't find a comfortable driving position. I can fix lots of small stuff, but this one has me stumped...
I've been hoping my big old butt would break in the new driver's seat springs and pad, but no sag yet.

Drove to Norfolk, VA and back today, 400+ miles RT and took the F-150. Marveled at the headroom, and I think I feel much less weary then I would had I taken the SDL.
Dang! I'll probably end up with a minivan....

How NOT to buy a MB Diesel:
Know little or nothing about diesels or Mercedes Benz.
Get the WVO fever.
Drive 70 miles to a used car lot in the country.
Buy the car without having it inspected, because it seems like a good idea at the time....
I'll be back. I'm gonna need help.
I love this car already!
