I'll probably take the 300-D, but really, the only thing different about that car is that it looks like an older car. For that matter, though, it looks great! My neighbors still tell me that of the three Benzes in front of my house, their favorite is the old diesel.

But I think that after spending an evening talking together I should (and hopefully she too) be able to get an idea of what she's made of to see if we're interested in pursuing anything more. I don't think the car should make any difference.

PS I come from a family that had everything we needed, and most of the things we wanted too. During my frist two years of hight school, I lived with a small community in the moutains (long story) surviving only on food that was donated and with no running water or heat other than a small wood burning stove two floors down. We also got up at 3:45 am every day after retiring at 8:30 the night before. I could tell y'all some stories from that experience! But I really learned that some of the happiest people in the world have few material posessions and what a person has does not define who a person is.
