Damn what was the question again??? lolz 
But honestly as much as I luv MB's & I have 3x of them, my daily commuter is a Japanese import. Makes more sense with the amount of driving & maintenance it's cheaper. Daily driving I've gotten rear ended so many times, door dings, scratches, cracked windshields, etc. Imagine the costs of repairs if it was an MB even if it was a diesel, those are still pricey repairs. Plus you have to throw in upkeep and routine mechanical visits. I just drive & upkeep my little beater mechanically & just let the dings, scratches etc go. What I drive on the weekends and going out is a different story, but to me nothing is sadder then seeing an abused beat up MB clunker:don't be like that, if you get one take care of it, and if you take care of it, it's going to cost you $$$$.I've had MB's for over 10 yrs I have yet to come out of the shop under $300, and that was just for an oil change & fixing the electric window, nothing under the hood.
Just something to ponder...

I agree, it's just that with all the driving I used to do, I got such enjoyment out of driving my MB, making it worth the maintenance costs...now I drive much less, if I'm not auditioning, it's like 3 times a week, so now it's even more of a treat to drive it
