Bought my first MB because of frustration due to the crappy previous car (new Jeep) and hopes for an end to problems associated with the ever-failing nature of the Jeep. Bought my second MB due to the ever-failing nature of my first MB

Bought my 3rd MB because I missed the wonderful ride of my first MB

I hope to not have to buy another MB until sometime in the next decade. Does that have anything to do with prestige?
