My cars are my mistresses. It's cheaper.
When I met my wife 34 years ago, she was driving a Corvair Corsa stick shift, and loved my 190SL. This, I thought, was a very good sign.
"Her" fleet currently includes the 95 E320 wagon, which replaced her beloved 87 300TD, the 280SL, and a very nice 68 MGB.
Still have my 64 Lincoln convertible that I first met her in, and I'm not allowed to sell it. Also have a couple of other family heirlooms she dictates cannot be sold. (54 Chevy 1/2 ton, 61 Ford Ranch Wagon).
Usually, she finds out I have a new car when it shows up in the driveway.
My daughters have been issued old MBs as they turn of age. Oldest got an 83 300SD, then upgraded to my 71 250C, middle has a 79 280TE wagon, and my youngest, who will get her learners next month, wants the red 73 450SL in the back field....
Teach 'em young.....
