gsxr, I had heard of that "cheap mercedes" quote also, and someimes it's right on the money. I hope I didn't sound harse. Sometimes emails and forums can seem cold because you are missing the facial expressions that go with the text, you know what I mean!?

Peter4: Also ask CJ if his car is for sale. I believe his is a 300d and he takes such good care of his car, you could literally eat off the engine! We had scramble'd eggs and toast off of it the other day! OK, just kidding, but I don't know of a more well taken care vehicle on the planet, really. And he's a totally honest guy to boot. When he sold his miata, a small bearing went bad on it 2 weeks later and he told me he felt guilty!
