Wow, I thought for sure that you would all talk me in to keeping the MB's!

I guess I can elaborate a little more as to why I'm wanting to do this.

Basically I'm right in the middle of school and I just don't have time to put a ton of work in to the cars anymore. For example, my E320 needs brake lines. Just brake lines! And it's needed them for a few months! But I haven't had the damn time to do a one hour job.

I also am going to be driving about 250 miles a week for the next several semesters due to my location to school, and right now I'm getting about 20mpg in mixed driving. So roughly a tank a week just to get to work and school in the E320.

I've got an absolute TON of parts for Norm too, but they've seriously just been sitting on my shelf for the last two years. I just don't see myself getting the chance to really sink a ton of time in to the car as I once thought I did.

I know that once school is over with that I'll be moving to wherever the job may be, and I don't know if I want to lug a truckload of parts with me. Even if I stay local I'll be moving out of the current house I'm in.

Lastly, I'm a mechanic of sorts for my job. I get my tinkering thrills a few nights a week and get paid to do it. When my days off come I would rather study than go in the garage and get really pissed off from working on my cars.

I think the BRZ would be nice on a few levels. It's fun, it's a good looking car, it gets 30+ mpg, it's a manual, and it's not overly expensive.
