First MB experience!!!

Hello!
First of all I am a old man for some but still young for my wife's eyes!!
I am in the context of my job, putting over 60k KM/year on my car every year for....well decade! ( obviously not on the same car, but I try to last them as long as possible..)

Why I bought a MB....read!

I was in my volvo s60 (2.5t awd, 2006 ) cruising 118km/h on the highway
late at night or early in the morning....( It doesn't mean I was tired.....)
Well in the dark, on a calm road(not busy typically at this hour ) I wasn't using the High light's, you can easily see the rear light's of any car for like 1km.. Then suddenly at 25-30ft in front of me a 10 wheel is laying down raidguard to raidguard, ( his floor facing me, no lights under 10 wheeler's ) I was the 2nd car, the first '''try''''' the right and I got the left ''''''''option''''''''' 118-0, I was alone in my car, aesthetic domage and achil nerf rupted!! Thank god I'm alive, other car 2 peoples, all alive!!!

So I had to find a car that fit these specifications AWD ( MUST HAVE HERE, winter is as long as the summer......) good seat possition and effortless driving experience!
Paying for the same thing ( s60 ) is in my opinion raging! So I went MB e320 4matic!
The previous owner wasn't very Handy but the car was well taken car of. My son did a very nice aesthetic restoration, well that don't make his 12hour work justice, a show job! héhéhé ( note that this is a handjob, no tools only good old swet)

I looked into a remote starter optioned but decided the asking price (over $1K) is too much. I would have paid about $500 to add this feature but I can't justify $1000+ for a car that is garaged parked at home. I wish someone would figure out a way to make one for around $500 because I bet a lot of others decided it was too expensive, as I did, and they'd sell a lot more for around $500.

I'm sorry for all the mistakes made, I'm not english born....I do my best

that's a lot of cash for a simple remote starter, but hey I will surely get it...

When it's -35,-40C outside ( yes with the wind factor but it's still very very cold ) You are happy to have the remote starter even if I get the heating steering and seat combo, The remote starter help the engine in his LONG KM ROAD and prevent any issues from cold/frozen parts.
