What I would give for the red 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. Atleast she has good taste in cars.

jeffbro1, I have the original Gullwing catalog but I never bought the car. It sold new back then for $12,500 in Canada which was the price of a small split level house at the time.

She probably found herself a better 300SL. There is no car she cant afford.

How much you want to bet that there are tons of McDonald's hamburger wrappers hidden between the seats?
