You can never have to many, and the SDL is the best to have.

I'm down to one and its bothering me, I need another!

Just give one of the others away, then you will have room for new acquisitions....
I'm sure there is someone willing to take one off your hands...

My concern is that I am a design engineer for a company that makes parts for the 'big Three' companies. I am the only person who drives 'non-American'. It is very easy to tell if I am at work. If I get a long body W126 I am going to cop an attitude. One of my co-workers is and engineer who came here from the UK in 1999. He calls me a European because I will not look at an American car that has been built since Packard went out of business. He tells me that I have a sickness with my Mercs, yet he is always telling me, "you are going to go out and buy it buy it, are'nt you? Go do it and be over it. "

You are having with draws, aren't you? I need to change oil on my E300 this weekend. Shall I send you the old filter? It might help get you through a few hours.

...True....I never expected to have a W201 unless it was a 1987 190D. That was the first Merc I ever drove. What fun!

Oh, so now I am going to become a serial Merc buyer. Does the FBI have a profile on me?
