There really aren’t many manual transmission benzos available to us. I have driven a lot mercedes benzs, they seem to feel right with an auto. They are crusiers, not backroad storming machines.

Dos, hopefully you don’t decide you need to turbo anything again.(blowers are more reliable anyway 🙂 ) Regardless of age, if I had money for that kind of car payment while living at home, then I would rather be out in my own apartment or saving/looking at houses.
