i think you are probably right Txbill, the car just does nothing for me performance wise(obviously), looks wise(it is brown with TERRIBLE paint), or comfort wise. So, why continue to put money into a car that i don't appreciate. On a differant note, i found a really nice red celica today, black leather interior, five speed, and only 80k on it. We also found a 98 black/black eclipse RS 5spd with only 56k on it. Compared to cars like that the benz doesn't stand a chance. Plus, i think i'm finally mature enough to not get into tooo much trouble with a half quick sports car. thanks again,
Ryan

I too, once thought about getting rid of my Benz. Thought about trading it out for a nice BMW........How silly. I had quite a few offers on the car but could never bring myself to do it. I now keep up with the maintenance which are oil changes and an occasional wash and wax on Saturday mornings. i now sink my money into nice stuff like Euro headlights and aluminum wheels and a chrome piece her and there. My son was just born last Saturday (6/7) and I brought him home in that car. wouldn't have thought to bring him home in anything else. Someday I hope he will take pleasure in driving the car.............

VW:

What a head of hair on that boy! Quite bright-eyed for a newborn, too!

I'm sure he appreciated the transportation device, kids know these things....

Congrats VWbuge!

When they look fabulous, you'll do whatever it takes just about, but when they are one of those blah colors, you can get ambivalent about them after awhile.
Yea I like my 84 better just because I've always wanted a dark blue car, my favorite color. I couldn't bring myself to buy a brown MB, or well... brown vehicle. I would say thomaspin's is the best looking brown MB I've ever seen, but I almost want to hurl everytime I see a tan SD.... Yea, I've thought of selling mine, but only for a better shape W123 or W124 (also dark blue).
