I have a gorgeous, white, Mercedes E430...
I've driven Mercedes since I was in my early 20's. I worked in Florida with this girl at a restaurant. She drove a BMW. We were both just out of college. I said, "How the heck do you afford a BMW?" She looked me square in the eye, and said, "If you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything". That statement by her made me so determined. I bought my first mercedes, a pre-owned black beauty, for $15K a year later. Then, I was telling the story to a mututal friend. Telling my friend how this girl's determination and perserverence had lit a fire under me and motivated me. And my friend said, "She sleeps with the manager. He bought it for her" !!!!! Stupid me. I was thinking she was giving me advice on how to save money....
