Sad times

With our second kid due less than a week away, the wife wanted a small SUV. So, with great regret, I traded in the E55 on a Chevy Equinox today. Whew, little 4 bangers are not my best friend (luckily it'll be her ride, not mine). I went through this with the first kid when I sold the CLK430, so although I don't like it, I know I'll be back in something some day.

come back sometime soon ! kids always first priority. Thats why my wife drives Honda Odeyssy. Equinox is a Crossover, its much more practical.
Maybe next time when you come back, you will get the W212 5.5TT AMG

WAIT! Second kid = four family members + BIG trunk? I think you were OK! Well, maybe you can compromise and get the E55 Estate. Or just wait a year and pickup an SLR.
