My boss is actually the guy who represents the company and who's signs my
contract. Today we were talking and he says, Why don't you buy a new
Mercedes? Obviously you like the cars. My response (we've just negotiated
the next season's contract), ...Then I'd be like you, so deep in debt with
your leased car and adjustable rate mortgage that I'd have to agree to just
any number you threw at me as I would need the income. Instead I drive these
old Mercedes that are paid for and have the luxury of turning down a
contract if I don't like the terms. That is why I actually have the
advantage which could afford me a new car.

A friend deals with car/train accidents for a major RR. He said I would not
believe the number of new and late model MB's [and other high end cars] that
suddenly develop engine problems causing them to stop in front of a train -
just after the person making the payments loses a job. Yes, many people who
buy/lease a new MB can't afford them.

I still shop at Sears, and I would still buy a new MB.
That doesn't mean that I can afford to buy a new MB.
Many people who by new Mercedes today cannot afford
them as many people who buy houses today also can't
afford them. This is a consumer oriented nation. We
are all stretched beyond our means.

A new S Class Benz is priced about at what I paid
for my house a couple of
years ago.
