You know you have a Mercedes problem when...
...your garage AND driveway are overflowing with them
...when you call the parts department of the dealer 10 minutes before they close looking for a gasket, and the recognize your voice and offer to leave it out with the sales staff and tell you "you can just pay for it next time"

lmfao! Im glad the bug hasn't bit me that hard.
Wait no, it has. I just don't have the wallet power for that madness ...yet  I think it's cool though, we're enthusiasts with values. We don't make ricers and push the limits with everything and use zipties on everything possible, we have common sense and we keep the legacy rolling - no matter how much rust covers said legacy.

When people keep asking you " how many of these do you own ? "
And it takes a while to count them up, and you usually forget one or two. Good thing is, no one misses my house when they come for the first time. Just tell them " the house with all the old mercedes, youll see it after you turn "

Uh oh, doesn't look good for me--only 21 years old and on my first. I believe I've infected the family though, my father is now looking for one!

When you come out of the mall and can't really remember which car you drove there.
When one of this kids call to tell you they borrowed a car (last week) and you didn't notice it gone.
