Got back and didn't have to drive immediately, then drove my GF's humble Sentra on Friday to work, then Saturday got a ride and took a cab back (more convenient than having to look for parking, etc.). Felt good to get back in my Benz today, especially with it being super clean. The best way to save money on new car purchases, and to save from getting bored of beautiful cars, is to keep yourself "car-humbled"!
