I'd much rather I enjoy the wagon fully and someone else enjoy the E300D.

Also, I like to make sure I have martial relations as much as possible. While I'm still young...

You may not even need a car in Austin, Texas. Bicycle and Mass Transit. Certainly possible to get by with sharing one car - if necessary. Great public transportation system in Austin. I considered selling my only car at the time a '99 W210 E300, and investing the money instead, 7 or 8 years ago. The payback would have been very worthwhile to date.

Andrew...do you have the 95 for sale?

I have a 95 E300, right at 300k and I cant get enough of it!

What color is yours?

I'm wrapping up a few things on the 95 right now. Hopefully have it for sale soon. I do love the car, but the Magic Wagon is all I need right now.

Andrew, fantastic you can do this, been my dream to be able with vehicals. I grew up in a big family of massive hoarders, so every Spring I find something to donate and prevent hoarding. Have allowed myself to only hoard automotive, especially spares. Though with the move to Dallas area, wondering what am going to do, especially with half a wagon that haven't had the funds to weld onto the wrecked wagon. Not like anyone want to take on that project, no one willing to pay anything, and don't have the heart to give her away to be parted out. Now if someone did give a little and took both to put back, totally let someone else enjoy her.

If anyone thinks they have a problem, think have it worse as have two vehicals out of state: a Squareback in Oregon (complicated situation that thankfully a friend being understanding and storing for me) and a Jetta my Dad is borrowing in Sandy Eggo, plus the two and a half here.

I hoard because I'll use it some day - if I can find it. Metal thieves stole a 12 ft enclosed trailer. I didn't know what was in it. They also hit the 16x32 shop. I only knew something was gone vby the empty space on the shelf.

I guess the robbery was beneficial. It's less crap that my wife will need to deal with if I cash in before her - and, I didn't have to pay to haul it off.
