That's absolutely NOT the case. And how dare you insinuate, not knowing me from Adam, that I cannot afford to maintain and operate my vehicles. Anyone who knows me knows well enough that I can (and have for many years) afford to keep my cars proper and on the road. I make plenty of money and have well enough disposable income to handle my MBs' needs.

I'll also have you know that I sold my 6.3 for substantially MORE than I paid for it. Dan Smith would gladly confirm that my (former) 6.3 is among the best mechanical specimens in the entire USA. In 6 years of ownership, it was only in the shop four times. That should be proof enough that the car did not cost me too much time and money.

If you are interested why I ditched my 6.3 and 6.9, you can see the full, entire story online in detail at the following URL:
