You WILL be back. If that "Benz" is anything like my DR. neighbors, you will be wishing you never bought it. My neighbors is a piece of junk. In the shop all the time. You should hear the noise the brakes make when his wife backs out of the driveway... Always know when she's going somewhere.

Yeah, a buddy of mine just got rid of an 'o6 E-class. Nothing but trouble, and lots of visits to the service dept.
