However, I did not entirely give up at life, and get a full size pickup truck, especially not a Ford diesel.
It came time to replace the jeep, that decided to blow its head gasket, and anything associated with the cooling system, and honestly, I didn't want to fix it just to get to work, I have spent to many years doing that, and as I said, I am old now, I can't be bothered.
I'm now officially in the Mercedes-Benz demographic, God help me. While I really do enjoy spending my hour long commute in such a lovely place to spend your time. I will say this. Merc forums make my head hurt, it is like TGO with money and less car knowledge. It makes you really appreciate our small little corner of the interwebs.
For those keeping track at home (really those who are on my facebook), yes, this is two old man purchases in 6 months. I am now in BMW motorcycle and Merc sedan camps...when did this happen!
The good news: This much refinement makes me want to get more progress made on the Camaro, I need some tire burning crazyness in my life.
The bad news: I blew my Camaro mod funds paying for this. *sigh* One of these days I'll get around to showing everyone what all I have going with the old F-Body.
And, Yes, it is blue. _________________

This ought to increase your odds with the older women.
That is a sharp looking car, though. |

I don't think I had thought of that when I bought it. |

Nice buggy!
I just turned 40, Camaro is in a building with a blowed up engine, and Jenn is like 8 1/2 months pregnant. Life is good, Camaro will get fixed, someday. Priorities change. |

I'm sure you've seen both those vids by now. The one where the jeep pushes the car back into a parking place.. That's just wrong. And the latest with the 2 jeeps boxing in the mercedes. Both vids from portland. |

I think most forums for late model vehicles are that way. |

Well, I got tired of feeling like I was in a fishbowl for the world to see.

^ that.
My brother works for Daimler and he's on the Merc lease program. he gets a new C Class every year or 7k miles.
Of course he won't let me borrow it when he's out of town on business trips to North Carolina. |
