My dad has had up to three of the things at a time. He gravitates toward the 80's Brougham models. He rode in my 240D when I had it, and has driven my 300D, but they failed to impress. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I think age may have something to do with it, since he had some pretty cool cars when he was younger, like the '53 MGTF he bought new, and a Triumph Spitfire.
