Your significant other for (E-Class W212) owners only?

(If there isn't another thread for this already). Wondering what the other significant car in your garage is, for the consumer who buys an E-Class. Or just another opportunity to show off your Porsches I saw that 'threeMBs' (in his signature) used to own a '90 300ZX, I still have mine...

Here you go

No Nissans, but I have a 93 300 CE Cabriolet and a few motorcycles. We are selling off a 2000 A6 4.2 to my brother in law when we take delivery on our 2013 e350 Sport Wagon in March.

Ya, I remember those tiny (by current standards) 16" wheels. Even the "wheels" on the girl above must be bigger than that.

Thank you, the trick is to apply so much tint that no light gets in at all - even thru the windshield. Pristine interior results, but I need 6 lights to drive at night

Wow, chip on shoulder much, big guy? You remind me of the little kid who tries to tell the big kids to throw rocks. I'm flattered though that my car decisions mean so much to you!

Since steel was begging for it, here's the significant other to my soon to my departing W212.



Fully intact with M badges BMW endowed the car with.

Of course, when the snow is too deep, we'll need the E550 4matic with airmatic

Had the 997TT for more than 6 years now. With winter tires, it's quite practical. Also we love the Honda Odyssey Touring Elite, but I don't think you guys will be interested in its photos.
