I still find myself wasting too much company time on the internet looking at W124 500E's for sale...

I lusted after an e430 until I drove it. After I opened the throttle on it I was ready to sell my children to get it. To have that power delivery coupled with something I could drive to Richmond in would be heaven. The problem with 3 kids is that there is close to nothing you can enjoy that will haul everything.

They never put a 430 in a wagon did they?

They did one better
