Come live in Texas - you'll change your mind. Suburbans are the best highway, family vehicles around, and it takes us 3 hours to get to the next city and 12 hours get across the state. I wouldn't live in NYC if you paid me a million bucks to. To each their own, I guess.
Back on topic, for me, these old Mercedes are toys - not daily drivers. Yes, they can be daily drivers and do a good job at it, but it's impossible to beat modern climate control, new engines, and reliability - it just comes at a cost of depreciation. But when I have to be somewhere without fail, I don't take one of the toys, I take my modern driver. I know lots of people who daily drive these old Benzes - it can easily be done, but there is a cost associated there too and it's not always money. It's time as well.
