Hey guys i just wanted to tell all my fellow w140 boys good-bye and maybe i will be back one day...Since my Uncle died and i moved away from my "highlife" lifestyle I have failed to recoupe and my income keeps declining.and sadly i feel that i cant and shouldnt be on this forum..i love my mercedes and it allways made me feel like "i have made it" but sadly this midwest storm has KOed me for the last time as a tree fell on the frontend of my s500 and has caused somemajor damage to the hood and sadly my income has kept me from getting full coverage since moving here and i am now screwed.thus being the last straw i can take and untilli can afford being a mercedes owner i done with it.I dont know when it will be fixed cause i dont have the money to repair it sorry guys i feel like a total loser about this but imbeing honest and truthfull unlike some guys who claim to have it all and brag..i dont have it and im dont with this tillone day i do have it...i will miss the talks and tips from all of you..Good-bye and take care!! w140 4 life!

Good luck with your future man. Sorry to hear about your uncle.

You don't have to leave the forum you know. We welcome everybody. Owning a Mercedes is not a requirement.

Stick around!

As others have suggested in this thread, you're always welcome, whether or not you have a Mercedes. You'll own one again!

Not to derail this thread, but I have to tell HLG600 what a pristine R129 he has. You have a very nice example, HLG600.

Sorry to hear about it all... hang in there and keep in the group - one never knows.

By the way, as a D/FW guy - when was the storm that KOed your car?

This forum is about more than your car. Its also about you - the guy - the personality etc.. Stick with it, you never know when things will change and life will be good again. I've always enjoyed your posts.
