Back in a Benz!
After 7 years of craziness including college, graduation, getting a job, buying a house, getting married and all kinds of other craziness, I finally am back in a benz, and thus back on this site. Used to have a '78 450SL (which is sitting at my parents house) until it died on me during a 600 mile trip (old house in San Diego to dorms in Berkeley, then gf's house in Roseville). Haven't driven it since, but picked up a black on black GLK250 Bluetec. It's boring on the highway, but I haven't driven anything as fun as this around town.

Really up to my parents... It is/was their car and they're letting it sit/decay. I think they're going to try to sell it at some point, I guess it was just the distributor that went bad.

Sell the soft-roader (ulp!)
Buy and fix up real car from parents. Enjoy driving it. Not necessarily in that order. |

vs. 200 bhp, 370 torque, 4200 lbs, 34 mpg Oh yeah and panoramic sunroof, satellite radio, HK sound system, power seats, AWD, etc. I think I'm going with the latter... |

really though, we had a subaru impreza that we put through it's paces (it survived a 50 ft winter on the summit, went through 2+ ft of unplowed snow, etc.). Our boss recently got us a new 328i, so we needed something SUV-like to haul our puppies while still getting good gas mileage.

Wow, I remember you - I had a different handle then.
How time flies and welcome back!

I test drove a GLK250 the other day and I was VERY impressed with that engine. That is the engine that should have been sold here in the states from the start! (I was always hugely disappointed with the GLK350......) Great choice!
