Well my story is a little different. I am 59 now always wanted one but you know how it goes , the family comes 1 st and there was always a new pair of jeans to buy for the kids, and a new lawnmower. But when they crashed into the towers i was in the hospital with lukemia (my brother saved my life with a perfect match bone marrow) cause i only had 3 years to live. I'm 6 yrs free now and beat the sucker. So anyway i'm in the hospital with nothing to do and told my brother 'when you come next time to visit me bring me an Auto Trader". Like i said i always wanted one and found one and a real good one . So i tell my wife " i'm buying a Benz" But she didn't believe me. So i'm not out of the hospital for more then 3 months , don't know if i'm gonna die from one day to the next and a cash in a mutual fund and and come driving up with the '86 Sl . Well did crap hit the fan. So i said "women i've always said i'm gonna get one and if i don't make it through this lukemia i'm gonna go in style "and that was the end of it.She's alright now cause so many people have commented on the beauty of it and how there are a classic roadster.
