To each his own. Part for part and money for money, if I wanted cheap performance, it would probably burn gasoline and be of the bowtie or blue oval small block type. But I tend to be like the "unique from anyone else" type. Sure, my car does not have rubber peeling performance, but it sounds cool and catches the discerners off guard when cruising around. I have fun with it and thats all that matters to me - even if these old Mercedes do nickel and dime us to death, you've gotta love the engineering and longevity that comes with them. I have received more compliments than head shakings.
