Gotta have more money than I do to play that game.

About $160 a month, but my dads friend leases a Camry for $200 even so their are deals to be had.

VS spending $3k on an old Mercedes, and throwing another $3k worth of parts and about $10k worth of your time into it over a year of Sundays.

I hate working on old stuff, unless its a toy.

My idea of vehicle maintenance these days is popping the hood on my truck every couple thousand miles to check the oil, than I go sailing or boating, or fishing, or skiing, or on a date, or anything other than cold chisel rusted suspension parts off a 30 year old car! None of that electrical stuff breaks, the headlight sensor on my truck is fine, all the electrical stuff on my buddies old Mercedes works fine as well.
