A member leaving is like a death in the family. It is sad to see one go. Good luck with everything!

Thanks! I've like the Mercedes forums because you don't get too much of the immature ranting that you see at some of the other car sites over little disputes.

I turned in the ML so clean that when I realized that I left a DVD in it and it was too late to get it back.....already went straight to auction! Someone will get a nice ride!!

Wow, quick turn

I go through cars very quickly. Bad expensive habit...but lots of fun. I tell the wife at least I don't change planes as quickly....that is when money really starts to fly! (no pun intended...)

Thanks for sharing in the forum! So what's life after ML? What are you thinking as a replacement?

Well....let me get my flame suit on.....I leased an 08 Infiniti G35. I don't usually drive cars because I'm 6'7", but as I went from dealer to dealer, it just seemed to be a good fit for me. Also, the lease programs on those cars are in the $349/mo range so the payment was good for a mid-$30's to $40's car. I would've gotten a C350, but the lease was ALOT more expensive.

I'm enjoying it so far. The nav on the G is absolutely amazing. Only downside to the car is of course the gas mileage isn't all that much better than the ML500 was....but I figure I'd have one last toy before I end up with something that plugs into the wall of my house!

The G should make for very good transportation. The pool is a questionable investment, but should be fun in the summer.

Depends where you live. If your address is somewhere in Toronto, you'll probably enjoy a pool for 2 weekends or so, and then winter's back - 1 solution is to have a covered / heated / enclosed pool - but that's another investment

The ML was designed to accommodate tall people..

..the surge of plug-ins may come sooner than we expect, considering the cost of fuel nowadays...
