Retired, yes. Pilot, yes. Retired pilot, no. My jobs were off the books.

I'm 6' tall, wear a 34" x 36" pant and weigh 210 lbs. I'm just a fit, normal size guy.

My knees don't bend to 90° thanks to an active life and replacement parts. I drive with my arms straight Italian style.

Sorry to hear about your impairment - sincerely.

You may, however, want to reflect on whether that makes the e Class cramped.

Thanks for your concern. I fit in the E Class just fine with the seat all the way back. I can't afford an S Class or I'd already be driving one.

I asked my wife about her daily shopping. She visits 4 shops each day. They are:
supermarket for dairy & non-edible items;
green grocer for fruits & vegetables;
butcher for meat/seafood;
package store for soft drinks & wine.

You should buy a refrigerator.

I know that folks in Canada don't need a refrigerator or a freezer, but in Florida we do. I have one of each. The fridge is where the dairy, meat & seafood is stored. We shop daily because we only consume fresh food, nothing frozen, jarred or canned.

two less doors ?

While I currently have an S550 I will be getting a 2018 E convertible. I have and SL and the S and am tired of keeping two cars and will downsize. Can not justify buying an S cabriolet.

Any idea when the can be ordered here in the states??

Thanks

2017 C Cabriolet

I don't know anything about when the convertible can be ordered. But I have a coupe ordered that arrived in the US last month. However my understanding is that it is still sitting in port and the coupes have not been released for sale/shipment to dealer. Best estimate I have been able to get on delivery is the end of July, maybe.
