I'll settle for a driver's seat that doesn't give me lower back pain and a/c that works.

Hmm,
I'm driving from Atlanta to Pittsburgh and back via Columbus, Ohio. My MB christmas wish is to have the trip go off without major incident or expense. I trust the car, and I'm going through it pretty well before I go, but it does have 351k miles, so you never know...

a decent air compressor to paint my "new" 300d, and a power ratchet/wrench to use when removing wheel lug bolts that the prior owner over-torqued. Any recommendations on the cheapest compressor that will do the job would be appreciated.

Me too.

a fresh front end and a tune up

Ok, I just finished shopping for the 240D:

new shocks all around
wiper blades
fan speed switch
rear tires

If I could put a new dash under the tree, I would...I just can't seem to find one!

Tons of stuff for the w114. Hope the w123 doesn't find out...she'll be jealous.
