One More and I Will Have Owned 30...

I was counting them up the other day and realized that if I purchase one more Mercedes diesel then I will have owned 30 of them in the last 15 years. I told my wife this exciting news and she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Ha!

Here are my current "toys."

1993 300d 2.5 Turbo- 241k
1995 E300- 364k
1985 190D- 194k (quietest running one of the three)

I was up to three Benzes at one time.

If I hit the lotto, I'd probably have three Benzes, a Porsche 911, at least one Ferrari, and several bikes. For now, one car and one bike is enough.

Sorry for the double post. Didn't mean to.
Don't worry about it! I've done that before, and you can actually delete your post when you go to edit it if you want to.
