That is probably the average the those who purchase new. This past summer I was at Shaver Imports. A coulpe was just picking up their 2007 S-Class. This couple was so elderly (I mean in the context of their ability to move) that I questioned if they should be per mitted to drive. They at least made the left turn out of Shaver Imports onto the very busy four lane road. Watching them make that manuver was a bit disturbing.

I have tried to look at other makes, but it is not working very well. Honda will likely have a good shot at me when they introduce their diesels in the US.

Is that really your cell phone number listed? I'm tempted to call it just to see who the hell you are.

Maybe I should start a thread along these lines: "Who wants to talk to Kamil over the phone" LOL

*** Just a few months away from a jump up ... ***

49 - First Benz I've owned. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner!

MB - fits my initials.

If I throw in the G (MGB), I've ONLY driven one of those ('69 - friend's)

A little story about that (MGB) little car - he and another friend were driving back from some local establishment near Hayward, WI. back in '83 ... he was zipping around on some back-road up there and...yep, you guessed it, he wrapped it around a tree ... both DIDN'T have their belts on (I'm not sure even if there were belts in that car anyways.) ... Officers at the scene said that both would have DEFINATELY been killed IF they hadn't been thrown clear of the car before it hit the tree. Both spent over 6 months each in the hospital (Pins, screws, plates, wires, the "whole" she-bang...), and about 1-1/2 years doing rehab. BTW, they found the trunk-lid about 2 weeks after the accident - a hunter heard a crash and turned around to see the lid about 4 feet from him. Nobody thought to check UP in the trees for all the parts. Never did see what was left of that thing...no one took pics.

Remember - Drive Safely - Nobody else does!

The big surprise that will likely come to you over the years is that you'll come to understand what was flickering through the brains of them dang old foggies when they were getting "their panties in a bunch."

I'm 55 goin' on 30. Was on my way to buy another Mustang Cobra when I spotted my first Benz. A white 1980 300CD. Since then I bought a 1985 300SD for my partner. Years later I moved up to a 1994 E320. Right now the E is history. My daily driver is a 1984 500 SEC. And our weekend warrior is our 2001 S430.

Indeed. But I can't say for certain that he will ever lose this behavior. If not, it will be his loss, not mine.

Im 17, one of the younger forum members and MB owners.

Adam (aka rg2098 on this forum) Is 17 now also.

I think there are a couple here a year younger than us.

Definitely less than 10 (active that I know of anyway) <18 year old MB owners on this forum.
