Question Miss Your Mercedes?

If you don't drive you Mercedes for one day (i.e. busy with work, etc.), do you get the feeling of missing driving it?

When I'm really busy at work, I think about being in my Mercedes. The more you are away the more you miss it. God forbid you have to leave it at the dealer. I was going thru 'Mercedes withdrawal.'

Recently I've driven Suzukis, PT Cruisers and a yellow Mustang, while my CLK was "warranty-serviced".

I do miss the MB. My #2 favorite is my Japanese Porsche: RSX-S, 200 HP, 6-speed stick!

I do miss driving it sometimes, but it seems that everyday I drive it, it keeps getting slower and slower. Wish I had gotten the 430 instead.

I'm gonna get an old (like '93 or '95) Japanese car and just go all out on it. Im talkin heavy engine work, full exhaust, supercharger, etc. Just started thinkin about it so dont have a lot of details yet. But I'd love to race one of you E55 guys, i know I'd lose but couldnt hurt to try . And I almost forgot the nitrous!!!!! Gotta love the juice. I'll be chillin just bottle fed untill I gotta go get my engine rebuilt.

Times must be getting good, most people I roll with got Benzies and Bimmers (worst car is a GTI). My parents start talkin about when they were my age...blah blah blah. And just so that nobody starts talkin about "you should work for your car" and stuff, i pay the payment and gas but dad pays the insurance just for your info.

My dad is gettin kinda worried cuz I go out at night and come home like at 4am (wit friends). He knows what we do when we out. He's like whyed I get him this now? But I dont give a ****.

wow if my parents ever found out i was out until 4am with friends, they prolly take the keys to my car...haha. i don't have a curfew, but 4am just doesn't sound right. what do you do at 4am anyways??

btw, how do you remedy the scratches you get in the high-school parking lot? i got many from parking next to pontiacs and second-hand civics of my "friendly" colleagues.
