Who knows. I do know that I won't be paying a ton for maintenance any more for a good while. I will be making a journal in pictures of the whole experience while I'm there. I plan to travel as much as possible while I'm there so it should be good times. Cheers.
Good luck and enjoy!

Dude, that is an awesome looking piece of machinery. If you have time one of these days, take pictures just before the sun comes up, or right after it goes down and post them.

You have a great looking Benz. I don't know about the shorts, tho

Cheers

Thanks. I'm trying to find a buddy with a good SLR to borrow for a weekend so I can take some good shots.
