Mechanical Maint. Yup, I work in a factory as a gen laborer. Joined the military at the young age of 17 and spent my whole tour in germany... always said someday I'd own one of those and so the day came. At 45, I got a 13 year old 300SL. Was totally fooling around on ebay when I saw this car bidding around $20k so I threw in a 'proxy bid' (just to amuse, or otherwise tease myself) surely I couldn't possibly win for the price I put in!!! "you won the bid, how would you like to pay?" WHATTTT?? I ran to the bank and showed them the car and took all of my savings to pay for half! I have NEVER made a better investment, for heart and sole, peace of mind and what a pleasure it is to drive and own this beauty Saved up a little more, bought a house in Florida and plan to move there in a month or two where I can drive her everyday)))
