Thanks Patty.

So in the spirit of your question Bill.
I had actually downloaded the waiting list form for the Taycan the day they announced but didn't follow through.
I'd love to change the E550 into an S63 sedan....
E63S is a lot quicker and would handle better but the S63 is just way, way, more comfortable.
example the E doesn't have a steering wheel heater nor console / armrest heaters or quilted leather seating.

just don't mention this thought to Barb.

the frog line was just mean. it is always hard to read your sarcasm.

It was a reference to jokes going over your head. I wasn't suggesting you were short or less intelligent than a frog.

Bill,
My better half's response to your initial comment?
" Well, obviously, you're never satisfied with anything"

My rebuttal, "The only thing I have ever been satisfied with, is you dear."

Very smart man!!!

So what's going on here, Jerry? In the years I have known you, I watched you dutifully soldier on in the same Mercedes sedans and SUVs (and the S2000) for what seemed like decades and 100s of thousands of miles. Now you seem to change in and out of Mercedes cars faster than a Wall Street trader. Are you finding the cars lacking or are you just breaking your old mold and trying to cram all the automotive variety that Mercedes has to offer into the remaining years of your life? It just seems like quite a change from original-style Jerry. That was really the thrust of my original joke. It seemed like we were just congratulating you on a previous Mercedes acquisition when you announce this one. And now you tell of of other Mercedes the you are thinking about buying.

I'm not judging. I very much enjoy motorized variety and frequently swapped out cars within a couple of years before I bought my Jaguar S Type. In my teens and 20s I would buy and sell three or more cars a year. But as I got older, the swapping became less frequent. Now I find new cars less interesting, more as a result of sameness, traffic, generally poor road conditions, increased speed enforcement, and the manufacturers' push towards electronic technology that I find I either don't notice or intentionally ignore. My "mid-life crisis" has taken me into boating where I again enjoy the freedom, novelty, challenge, and variety that the different vessels and the open ocean offer.

None of this is sarcasm, there is no hidden joke, and I'm not being mean.

Did you consider keeping the S and only trading in the SL500?

Yes, well done.

Legal Bill

Yes, a good question. I wondered that myself. My guess is that the double trade-in offered both financial and garage space relief, making the sales job with SWMBO much easier.
