It is truly hard for me to fathom, but within the next couple of weeks I will be diesel-less and Mercedes-less.
Several reasons, but to be honest, I'm ready to drive a nicer car for awhile. {I can't afford newer Mercedes}
I'm also sick and tired of having "the fleet" thrown up in my face by an un-named cocubinal apparatus.
And I don't want my 13 year old daughter to be so embarrassed for me to pick her up at school and church. These are still special times, and formative years.
So, no real earth shaking deal, but it is a big change for now. I've had my F-150 for going on 14 years now, and at 215K it hasn't had 1/50th the issues these cars have. Of course, it doesn't emit that cool klackin' noise either.
I am trading all 3 of my diesels:
the white wagon, the
'95 E300, and my beloved
China to a forum member in exchange for something in an Acura flavor. He will chime in in a bit I believe.
I got excellent advice on other makes of cars from several forum members. I did not go into this wanting anything in particular, just newer, safe and hopefully reliable.
I'll still be on the forum. Things that go on here will still matter to me. Folks on here will still matter to me. Terminology Correctness, well, heck, that's a way of life!!!!!
