oh phils number is in my cell phone!!!

I had the i85s with nextel but the service was like non existant for me in my house, and in various parts of the city.

My ex girlfriend had given me this phone because she had a bmw and the bmw timeport, so she didn't need this one. I never thought I would activate it, but it was verizon capable and I got a plan for $50.00 a month, 1000 minutes anytime, 4000 night and weekend, 250 mobile to mobile. I pay $5.00 extra for long distance, and another $1.00 or two for one of the other services.

The phone works everywhere I have been, even through the hills, no cellphones work in my house, we have the walls insulated with silver foil insulation on top of the insualation, but my verizon phone works and has 2 bars of strength. The phone also has great roaming, and well it says mercedes benz, so I'm happy. I even hardwired a cigarette lighter speakerphoen unit for it in my center console.

Ever since I've found this site last year, I've been a major mercedesshop-aholic, with a capital 'M'.

I spend more time at work on this site than I do actually working.

I feel downright guilty at all the valuable company time I've wasted.

It's an obsessive-compulsive disorder, that every 20 minutes I have to check and see if there are any new posts.

Before I hit the sack at night, I have to check one last time before I shut down the computer and turn off the light in my home office.

If there's a ten, twelve, or fifty step program, sign me up!

Hi, I'm G-Benz and I'm a MercedesShop-aholic...

I own a rolling tool chest with metric tools and an air compressor...so I think I'm a Mercedes Mechanic...I think that's what they call "denial".

When are we going to see some MercedesShop window stickers!!! I gotta have something to replace that stupid "my kid made the honor roll" decal!!

"Phil" is on my speed dial...and my Christmas card list.

I tell my wife about my experiences in the forum on a daily basis...she just gives me that "should I have you committed?" look...

My wife used to listen to me talk about the postings on the forum. She'd pretend to be interested, and listened with one ear.

Now, she just puts up her hand and stops me. She can't take it anymore. I think I'm driving her crazy.

I am a Mercedesshop-aholic and I have no plans for rehab, ever. Although, Mercedesshop has yet to invade my cell phone.

My name is Mark (benzonline to you!) and I am a Mercedesshopaholic as well as jeepsunlimitedaholic. I spend more time on the Mercedesshop than the Jeep site. This site has given me a lot of advice and help with my Benz and I learn a little bit more every time I log on to it.

Hi! My name is Dale and not only am I an Mercedes Shop-a-holic......I am also married to a garage queen!! Yes, I know that it's sad and I've tried to cut back.....I can't stop......I have daily doses medicine, (Mercedeszac), but nothing seems to help. It's just this overpowering feeling when I see her, those glistening flanks, sumptious fenders, and soft supple curves......the feeling of the warm leather surrounding the senses, as I gently rub my hands over the SL and feel the excitement mount into an explosion of ectasy as I turn the key.......and start her up........Geez......I think this is where I'm suppose to have a cigarette, or something like that.
