When I Procrastinate I go to PeachParts

Yup. I come here now when I procrastinate. Still do some youtube, and facebook, and email. But I love my new home of procrastination. Particularly in Open Discussion. What does everyone else do? Hahaa.

Well, we like having you here, feel free to waste away as many hours as you wish. This is my only online forum, did a lot of reading and posting in Diesel Discussion before ever finding OD... Now, I avoid other forums, because I am aware of the inherent danger

of course, you really should grace us with your current vehicle in your sig... and we'll try not to be too harsh if it isn't a Benz

K, thanks.
The "dark" one? What does that mean? Hahaha...I wanna guess you are asking about fulcrum, but...why is he called the dark one? lol But, erm, I've tried. I think the only way he'll ever get one is if wherever he works tells him he should have one. Other than that, he won't budge. His cousin and I were discussing making one for him though....hahhaa.

Wow. Thanks for sharing >_< Outhouse??? Or to fertilize the garden?

To a bunch of the rest of you, sorry for the whole taking-time-out-from-studying-for-finals thing! Hopefully it didn't hurt your grades TOO bad. I'm taking a break currently. I just had an exam, and now I am relaxing a bit before I study for my final at 5:30 YAY*sarcasm*

I believe what you meant to say was "Not a Benz... yet"

Really though, it's alright. Many of us like other cars too, just not in the same way

I have to admit that I can certainly relate to this. I spent a lot of time lurking here before I finally bought my first benz last year, after wanting a 300E for many years. And since then I can't help but check up on what people have to say numerous times a day. Hasn't helped my med school marks but it's still very hard to resist.

I must say that the prices you guys in the US pay for these cars always amazes me. Down under it's a completely different story. I paid something like $7000 for my 1991 300E-24V last year and it was still a good buy compared to a lot of other cars I have seen here. Rust here is a bit of a non-issue though compared to some of the stuff I have some on the forum from people living in areas with snow where they salt the roads.
