I bought my wife a 2006 Mercedes Benz E350 this spring. It is the best and most beautiful car I have ever owned. But we still use my GMC Yukon XL for trips. The kids love the room.

How many kids do you take on your trips? I have 4 and I'm trying to talk my wife into a SUV and out of the minivan.

You would not happen to be from Pamlico County in NC would you? I am from New Bern. Always loved going down to the County.

Really?  I was looking at the E and C series a few months ago and was stunned by how badly Mercedes has completely lost it.

When I opened the doors on one, there was a plastic on plastic grinding sound.  Another, the glove compartment wouldn't close without slamming it into the dash, full force.

I walked out of the dealership deciding that I'm just going to keep driving my 83, 240 D until it falls apart and won't roll anymore.

Actually, at the rate it's going, I'll be dead long before that.
