I know. I bought my '83 in October of '05. About six months later a '77 240D followed me home. A couple years after that, I bought a '71 250 (big mistake), and probably would have had a '70 280SE if I hadn't lost the job I had at the time. Now I'm down to one old car and one newer vehicle. I only turn wrenches when I want to. Still, I get tempted from time to time. There was a '69 220D for sale not that long ago, and there is a reasonably priced old 911 that keeps showing up in the classifieds.
