Good choice. She's a keeper. Cars come and go.

Warning! Once you buy her a Mercedes she will be spoiled for life.

I don’t know I’m not bagging on your lady but looks like she has expensive style and taste. If the car was your hobby and baby she could have lived with the few times she had to ride in it. My wife made me get rid of my 911 Porsche Cabriolet said it was too old, too expensive to keep up, you never drive it.. etc… I got rid of it and now she wants another one, in fact so bad she would be willing to give up her C300 sport for another 911. Us guys react way to soon sometimes, you should have let her sit on the thought, or parked the Mustang for a month or so I bet she would have missed it. I hope your W204 brings you joy, I have to admit since getting rid of my Porsche our C300 sport puts me to sleep now that the newness has worn off.

I always say, better a high maintenance hottie than a boring Simple Sarah.

Just like that 911 Cab ??

Sorry, I would have kept the car.
My wife knows better than to get between me and my rides.

In the nicest way possible, this is the best comeback post ever.

Sucks about the divorce but it sounds like everything worked out for the better!
