S, GL, Escalade ESV, my shoes
Put about 3K mile/month on my W210, and about 300 miles/month on my W211. Originally, I was about to use the W211 as weekend car. But after upgrade to suspension & wheels to my W210, it was quite a bit more fun to drive, so I drive it ....weekend too 
Beside, I found that the SBC anoy me greatly, which make the ride on the W211 less enjoyable.

I put about 1200km a month and it is mostly my weekend car.. (That is why I don't post in here on the weekend, I am driving it.. hehe).

Daily driver for work. Use about 700 miles /month,
Will be getting a runabout for short trips to supermarket( Honda Civic) and use the car mainly for work or longer journeys. The additional cost of running a second car makes up for the saving in depreciation, engine wear(short trips), insurance discounts(u would claim for any dent on a MBz but not Honda), saving on fuel...Honda gives 50mpg.
It also worth pointing out that you can park ur Honda anywhere, less likely to be scratched by an idiot vandal....the Mbz has aquired many scratches in just 7 months of ownership.... I suppose a Mbz is just another car but sometimes one needs to use a diff vehicle for a diff purpose....guys with bentleys will probably use Mbz as their runabouts.
