Before we bought our MB we had an 85 Mazda 626 157000 miles. we up
graded to an 85 300D with 176000 miles. we use to go out to breakfast
with this couple from church. when we said we bought a MB it was like,
ooooww. oooh aaaah, a Mercedes?? Then when she found out it was an
OLD one, then it was ok. but then they ended up buying our OLD Mazda.
go figure. plus she was driving an older Honda.
even today when someone sees we have a Mercedes, it`s like we are part
of the upper crust in a different league of people. hey, It`s just an old car.

so if you are worried about what people are thinking about you, forget it
because they don`t think. they just react.
Fix the old Benz, and don`t cut corners, do it right, and you will have a
much better vehicle for many years.

how much up keep is 5, 6, or 8 wives? these Mormons must make a lot
of $$$$$.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
