Well, finally got myself a MB. Only took me 45yrs though LOL. Figured I would jump in and say evening to all.

Quick about me. 45, disabled veteran of the U.S. Army, 1st Cavalry Division. Served as a tank gunner on the M1A2SEP. Gotta say I miss that tank. Now I do reposessions and impounds because retirement is BORING!! Anyway, just got ahold of a 2005 E320 4Matic. Selling my BMW this saturday. Love the BMW but the ride is rough and kills the metal parts inside my body LOL. This one needs some things, but overall a solid car. Tried searching for a new drivers side mirror...........hooooooly crap LOL. Oh well, guess I can sell the kids on the black market as I am definatley hooked on my new Benz. It is going to take me a few years to learn all the stuff on this car and what all those buttons are for.
Sadly, the OCD in me demands that I fix everything that I am finding. Rear shade stuck in the up position, mirror, headrest button missing LOL. Gonna be a long winter.
