When you turn at look at your car and are thinking with a smile how happy you are that you bought one of the few SL 350`s that came with standard shock absorbers and coil springs and never have to worry about any ABC issues at all
That and the fact that the car is a low milage car and top condition

I have three to add; You have driven the SL55 every single day since purchasing it a year ago. You keep it immaculately clean enough for a concours competition every single day. You have purchased a professional grade camera, polished up your skills and have more glamour shots of the car than your entire family combined.

I have other cars in my garage that are more modern, reliable and get better mileage. I haven't touched them except for a few times the SL was down for preventive maintenance. I live only 6 miles from work. Total mileage covered in one year, 15,567 miles. I drive her everyday everywhere!
