HA HA!!! You're funny... "status"?!? What's that? Broke college student here who, BTW, spent ever penny of the $2000 out of my own pocket to buy my 123. Also, my other vehicle looks like a complete redneck rig

I bought my M-B for exactly three reasons...reliability, fuel economy, and ease of maintenance (read: I hate working on g@$ engines). My next vehicle will probably either be a 617-powered 126 sedan or a 617-powered 123 wagon (just for the extra space), although a small piece of me's seriously considering a VW TDi for the fuel economy...
