Good Bye

Morning All,

I just wanted to say good bye to the MB family for now. As much as I loved my E430 it was time for her to go. I'm not sure what I did to **** her off but she decided to slap me with some large bills. In March she needed new motor mounts, an A/C line replaced, MAFS, valve cover gasket, front brake pads, some sort of steering joints, seat frame rail, and I could tell another window motor was going out. No joke, all issues during the month of March. She has been 100% dealer serviced but the bill she sent was just too much. I understand you have to pay to play with Mercedes but I'm just not in the position to do so with the new house. I traded her in this weekend for a new girl. She's a bit bigger and not near as comfortable. I'll post some pics tonight or tommorow. The 210 section was very helpful over the past couple years. Everyone was very welcoming and I appriciate that. Thank you for everything. Be safe !

No suspense intended. I bought an 06 Dodge Magnum R/T. Black on cream, leather, NAV, Magnaflow Exhaust, intake, 20" wheels on Pirrelli ( sp?) rubber. Just a big grocery getting tank. Rides like shi% but sounds very pist off
