You know you own too many MBs when:

You live in the city and the garage is full... and a car that retailed more than some houses is parked on the street.

You know you own too many MBs when:

...neighbors and acquaintances think you're wealthy...

...even though you have a mundane 9-to-5 grind while their occupations consist of VPs, doctors and lawyers!

You own two of the same year and model just to be able to trouble shoot by swapping parts to see if the problem follows the part.

1. When you take a half day off of work because of Pick N Pull's Half Price Wednesday.

2. When the wife says "when did we get the silver one", and it's been there for two weeks.
