You simply can't imagine the unpleasantness I go through on a daily basis over these cars!!! Every time a shot is fired over my bow it comes in the form of a remark about "the fleet". It is unpleasant and incessant and now predictable.
That is also lumped in to my time on the forum, and Craigslist, and just researching or reading about others folks and their MB's.
It was just used against me to remodel the kitchen. She is determined to outspend my MB spending.
We were driving to my sainted mother's house yesterday, and she saw an early/mid 2000's C230 sitting in a car lot. She said "now that's a Mercedes!", and I said yes honey, about $16,000.00 worth! "Well you could sell what you have now and be able to buy that one" was heard from the seat next to me.
The explanation of why I must have diesels would have just been lost on her.
So I just handed over the mahogany box where my nuts are stored, and she put them back in her purse..........
I'm hoping a decent W124 will help with the situation. Then we can actually take my car when we go places. The W123's are NOT an option!!
My 11 year old daughter is her clone too......
