I thought I would introduce myself as this is my first post. I am a car guy that doesn't buy cars made for the masses. I normally gravitate toward car brands and models that are Engineering driven. I bought my first European sports sedan in 1979 at a ripe age of 20. It had twin cams and a hemi head which was a major change from the outdated muscle car I traded in.

I took delivery of my '98 E320 4Matic last Thursday then found and registered on this forum the next day. This is my first Benz. I am looking forward to learning as much about the car as possible. My first question is what do the owners like to call their marque, Mercedes, Benz, Merc, M-B, or ???

My goal is to reach 200K miles or more and have it still look as nice as some of the cars posted on one of the threads that I saw.

Howdy resqguy,

There are a few other pet names I use when I'm working on her and things aren't going quite as planned,but decency stops me from telling you those names!!Bear
