Am I crazy?

I am thinking of selling my 2006 Jeep Rubicon because I found a nice 1994 E class cab. I use to have a 95 cab and loved it. I will have to sell the Jeep because I can't have both. My Jeep has 32k this car has 94k. Miles are not a big deal as I already have one Benz with some miles on it. What do ya think...crazy? I know two different types of vehicles.

Simple questions:
What roles won't the E fulfill that the Jeep does now?
Can you live without them?

Why not replace the Benz with the cab and keep the Rubicon? It's nice to have the utility of a Jeep.

I recently took our neighbors Subaru into the shop for a state inspection. Actually drove it for 20 miles or so,,, it is a 2001 Legacy. After I took it back to them and climbed into my 95 wagon again,,,, there is NO comparison. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't had the privilege to drive and own a early year Benz. Do it !

Do you need 4WD? I won't be without at least one 4wd vehicle. If you don't live where it snows and don't go off road, go for the MB.

Well I do like to go off road but could live with out it. The Jeep has been a great vehicle. The way I see it the Cab would be a smoother ride and be more fuel efficient. Yes it would be sad not to be apart of the Rubicon forum that I have been a member of for last three years. Around here we don't get much snow if any. However I love taking the doors off of the Jeep but long story short it's not a Benz. I can't get rid of the 300D because of it's fuel economy. And then there is the fact that my eight year old daughter hates going off road. Plus with the higher rear seat, I feel like she would be safer if we where to get hit in the rear. I know it sounds like I have already made up my mind but it helps to sound off of everyone. No it's not for sale on here. I am only looking for Smoke Silver in 94 or 95.

Alright. I bought one. I pick it up Monday. As soon as I can I will post some pictures. It's white with dark blue leather and a dark blue top. It only has 73k on it. I can't wait to get this thing!
