I should have thought that red MB convertible that you had (maybe still have) would have fit that bill pretty nicely given where you live. The reason I am reluctant to buy a newer boat has a lot to do with the cost of one. I would not use it enough to justify the cost. If I had a $40K boat I

Why do you want one of these so bad? You already have some nice cars and have had others that you have moved on from that are a heck of a lot better than some early 60's car.. I doubt a finnie is either all that fun to drive or all that safe. Admire from afar and stick with cars a bit newer

That is more true than I expected. There are a host of these things at the knackers, such that they do not make it to PnP. Too many spare parts that can be sold on to keep the turds rolling on the road. Sadly, the parts I need are those most prone to be needed by everybody else. clay > On

I meant no aspersions toward your cars Kaleb, just what I have been exposed to leads me to the opinion expressed. At the time the purchase was needing to be made, the available W210 cars were horrid examples of the marque. The W220 examples were much nice for the cash spent. This in no way
