I purchased her last year as the successor to Miranda, a 2007 S550 that had just reached 100,000 miles.<br /><br />Given my poor groundskeeping, the dogs' habit of barking at 4 AM, and our general air of dishabille, if it weren't for Milla we might be run out of the neighborhood.<br />Francis W.

I have known for some time that you are a...Francis,<br />I have known for some time that you are a Merc fancier. I am curious as to which variety you allot garage space.<br /><br />Our current stable includes a 1966 230 SL roadster, a 2005 E320 CDI sedan and a 1993 Ford F250 4X4 pickup (the latter 2 drink diesel fuel). Their names are respectively: Tante Freida, Prinz Eugen, and Nessie. I have always tended to name my kinetic possessions.<br /><br />Tante Freida is displayed occasionally at local car shows whereas Prinz Eugen serves as the family daily driver. Nessie serves as the heavy hauler.<br /><br />Tante Freida is the only "head turner" but when driven elicits mostly smiles and thumbs-up gestures.<br /><br />As for envious alt-leftists, I say screw 'em.<br /><br />Allen N ΛΕΟΝΙΔΑΣhttp://fightingintheshade.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-63318711859512404052016-10-17T17:08:12.057-04:002016-10-17T17:08:12.057-04:00Weekend?

Thankfully, did have time to watch the early service online, since I did not have time to drive across town and back before work. And other than firearms, my luxury indulgence is a large diesel 4wd suv. It is purpose built to assist the family in getting out of this kill box we reside in; when this mess we're all in finally cooks off. It's impractical - until it is necessary. Then, not so much. Folks may hold whatever opinon they have, likely I think the same of them. Sad it is that in your church, it seems the focus is on others and not on the knowledge of Holy. But,we live in that nation that has turned its back on God. And my church is the same... - Grandpa Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-82806691194735184162016-10-17T09:57:24.514-04:002016-10-17T09:57:24.514-04:00My luxury indulgence is my muscle car. It's no...My luxury indulgence is my muscle car. It's not very expensive, mind you, but I do lot of my own wrenching on it, and so it looks nice, sounds great, and is very fast.<br /><br />It attracts dirty looks from a lot of folks where I live. It amuses me because they *think* it's an expensive car, even though it's not -- and the new Kia or Toyota in their driveway probably cost more. But I wonder now if part of that is because I live in a suburbanite area and I'm supposed to be driving a family sedan or something equally tame -- and I have, as you pointed out, bought something that is outside of my designated demographic and political profile.<br /><br />Ideological conformity is bad enough. But if our purchasing habits are expected to conform to our politics and demographics, we've really gone off the rocker.Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082153758868357687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-72330538102055063262016-10-17T07:37:21.932-04:002016-10-17T07:37:21.932-04:00My only beef with Mercedes drivers is that they ar...My only beef with Mercedes drivers is that they are so slo-o-o-w!<br /><br />:o)Joan of Argghh!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14729682908266300507noreply@blogger.com
