Hehehe....
I would list they they are my mother and fathers daily drivers, however I ran out of characters, as there is a limit to the amount of characters you can have for a siggy. But indeed they are my parents. That doesn't mean that I cannot drive them though.   The G is cool, as it turns mucho heads! It does makes me look like a drug dealer.....

Thats cool. I came very close to buying a Gwagon after having looked for almost a year, and my wife decided they had gone the way of the gangsta, so we killed that idea. I still may buy a beat up G280 D if I ever come across one again. Saw one advertised in Oregon a while back, but it had snuck over from Canada and had all sorts of legal issues that needed attention. An '85 I think it was.

No offense to ML owners but I always thought they looked like a minivan and were blah.
The ML55/63 is for soccer moms that need to get there kids to pracatice RIGHT NOW!!!! The G55 is far cooler but it costs more and is a real truck.  The ultimate in Mafia wheels.

 I had my heart set on it too, and was sooooo close.I can also say that I won't be buying (if I could) a Bentley anytime soon either, because they are the G ride of choice now too.

But then there are working class people like my family that own a G because of a few damn good reasons.
1)Depreciation 2)Rarity 3)Class 4)Fun-ness 5)Ride 6)The Look 7)Cause they are actually affordable now! Oh, and it pulls the boat like nothing else. The ML had some problems pulling the boat up steep ramps. This baby shouldnt have a problem...

Don't get me wrong--I still want one, but the wife doesn't want to drive one, so it would be a little pointless to get it 'cause I like my wife
Don't kid yourself on the towing though---only rated for 7K# and no factory transmission cooler.

Man I'd like one, a G-wagen, but any car that requires me to stand on a stepstool to secure my boat is out of the question.

Hehehe....
My dad wanted a G wagon since he saw one wayyyy back in the day. (My dads in his late 50s.) Anyways, he loved the ML, and it was a great runner! My mom was cool with th idea of my dad adding another car to the fleet, as long as one disappeared. Well, he was about to trade in his 600, but my mom said no to that, as it his baby! So, my mom made the deal that he could get a G as long as it was to be her car. Well, my dad bought it for my mom, but he drives it more than she does.... But its cool. My mom likes driving it, as shes up off the ground, and it feels like a REALLY safe vehicle. She doesnt care that its not the fastest brick on the road, but she is really happy with it. She loves how it rides, and how it handles. She also like the layout of it, so shes cool with it! Oh, and my dad says that my mom looks cute when she drives it.... Maybe you can pull that one on your wife Mr. Doe... The problem is that my dad is my dad likes to steal it when its not in use... Oh well. Just means that my mom can drop the top on the SL, and cruise all day long. She likes driving that car too. She thinks its got too much power though. She doesnt mind it though, she loves how the car looks.

Your parents sound very cool, Justin. I could get the thing if I wanted it, but was actually kind of excited that my wife was the one that really wanted to get it and now she has lost interest.
The point of a Gwagon for me would be that I use 4 wheel drive a lot during the winter. That AMG Egg mobile would be fairly useless where I would need it.
