It will be his wifes daily driver (she currently dailies the Yukon), but will also have to tow his toy hauler once a month. Everything I've read online about these is good, and he's currently in a W211 E500, so he knows the whole "Benz can be money pits" thing really well... 
Thoughts? The Yukon does a great job, and he doesn't mind the fuel bill, but he's thinking a nice little upgrade wouldn't hurt.  |
Wondering if this change is being contemplated to please the spousal unit....
If yes, here are two points to ponder.
1. For women, all gifts count "ONE" point. doesn't matter if it's a card, flowers, chocolates, a car, house, anything.
*ALL* equals ONE point. All the time, every time.
2. They think differently from us. The typical male might upgrade her to a nice Mercedes-Benz or whatever.
But: This is better, and maybe even cheaper.
Taken from an actual advertisement, in a 1x a week newspaper out of Gridley, California: (it's a little town below Chico on the Interstate. With one jewelry store):
As we get older, our eyesight diminishes.
This requires BIGGER DIAMONDS
