I'm thinking Corvette #6 will soon be on its way. Kind of like swearing off women, just never works.

Bottom line is why beat yourself up? IF you are no longer able to do it, all you are going to get is aggravation. Cut your losses and get something better.

Good buy for a car that was 100K+ new.

My DD is an E550 which I love. I'm sure you'll enjoy the SL
