ML500 Gone!!!

Long story short I ended up selling my 06 ML500. Basically needed some cash to do some home improvements (pool, landscaping, etc...) so I sold it and leased an 08 Infiniti G35 instead. I will miss the ML! It was actually one of my favorite Mercedes! Dead reliable and very comfy along with a great sound system.

I do have my never-installed-new-in-the-box Eibach springs for sale in the classifieds:

Great forum and great people! Hope to be back sometime in the future after getting another Benz!! (I always do!)

Hey Red,

We're gonna miss you! I'll be on the lookout for that Infiniti

Thanks! I'll still be trolling around for a while I'm sure!

It does feel weird being in a car again! I keep double/triple-checking my blind spots before I make the lane change like I had to in the suv (you know how it is here in Miami with the crazy drivers)! Old habits die hard!

LOL! Originally, we I had bought the E and my other half the ML. Coming from three SUVs in a row, I couldn't take being back in a car! Luckily the other half agreed to drive the car and we swapped. I'm a happy camper again!

Crazy drivers in Miami? What are you talking about? It's a delight to drive on 836 and the Palmetto. People stay in their lanes and always use their signals! LOL!

I think 836 is slower, but the palmetto is crazier! I drive that darn road everyday in traffic and have had to dodge pallets, axles, and christmas trees. I stopped riding my motorcycle to work!
