21, but depending on my mood I can act like I'm 12 or 45.

Hmm

21.

I agree with Hatty though...sometimes I feel and act like an old man, and other times like I am back in elementary school(mostly after a few drinks)

45 - today! My wife and I just got back from our daughter - and son-in-law's - apartment (they just got married 2 weeks ago). We were their first 'dinner guests' - fun, but man, things sure do move fast.

58 til the end of the year.

two benzes left and a lot of spare parts still.

five kids ranging from 19 to 35. seven grandchilden and two in the oven.

i have owned 29 or so mercedes benzes.

i like the 123s the best. i think the 126s are second in my book.

favorite benz motors include the 616 617 diesels and the 110 twin cam and the 117 aluminum block v8s.

i have never owned a sl ....yet.

been wrenching on cars since i was about five when i helped my dad figure out where to put a brake part on his car. i was squatting next to him while he changed the brakes on his studebaker, watching with rapture, and he had this part (darned if i can remember which one) which he couldn't figure out where it went or exactly how. he was talking to himself over how it went and when he paused for a minute (he told me many years later) a little hand reached out, picked up the part and put it on in the correct place. (me). my memory of it is vague.
