Anyone want to play? You know you own too many MBs when...

These are from my first-hand experience:

1) You have your mechanic's work and cell numbers stored in your phone.

2) You have an honest, cheap wrecker's personal cell number stored in your phone.

3) When you car needs something important, your mechanic comes in on Sunday and fixes it for you.

4) You keep the rare AMGs in the two-car garage, and leave a Lexus LX and Denali out in the elements - both of which are worth more than your AMGs.

5.) ...when you order the polish and wax in 55-gallon drums.

6.) ...you have a "bulk oil" dispenser installed in the garage for those DIY type of afternoons...

You have all the diagnostic codes and Arthur Daltons' code reader in the trunk.

1) Got that.

2) Got 3 of them.

3) Been there, done that.

4) Well, I got an SL600 and G500 parked in the garage.

how about this:

You don't have ENOUGH M-B cars when:

1.) you use the trunk of your E-class as a hay wagon

You have too many Benz cars when you:

Buy your first one. After that, its just a matter of scale.

You get a letter from your Home Owners Association telling you to get rid of some of your cars.
