My credit union had a repossessed 2000 Mercedes convertible. I am 58 and 3/4. I've always driven an American car, mostly Fords. I've been looking for something wonderful and 'cool'. I'm taking it to the shop to have my mechanic check it out in the morning. I am excited and nervous. I am even a bit intimidated. What will an old granny look like in a hot convertible! Perhaps we will see. Keep your eyes crossed that the engine is in good shape.

KEWL, KEWL, KEWL!!! Go for it darlin!!!!!!! Reminds me of a story of my son's 8th grade English teacher. She wasa very nice lady (after all she liked my kid!) but trully looked like a MS English teacher. Graying hair, sensible shoes, little white blouse with the lace edged Peter Pan collar, glasses in her hair. Typical little old lady Englsih teacher. Well a couple of years after my son went on to HS she retired. A year or so after that DS adn I are in the car going somewhere when I pull up at a light. A bright red convertbile with a bleach blonde in a red halter top at the wheel pulls up next to us. DS looks at her, then all of a sudden I hear "Mrs. Dorsey?!?" What about her I asked. DS looks at me with this stunned look on his face and said "I think that 's her in the convertible." I looked over and sure enough. It was her. DS asked in a this stunned voice "What happened to her?" Well I explained, she's not teaching MS English anymore. Don't know if DS ever got over that. MS English teachers aren't supposed to be tooling around in a bright red convertible I guess.
HAve lots of fun!
