Yep, Ms JHawk`s little Z roadster has been a pain in the arse with repairs. I had an older 7 Series that ran up about 220,000 miles before the headliner started to fall on my head while driving down the road. Not a good thing to happen at 70+ mph.

I`m told the new `benz machines are worst than ever with repeating problems. It may be time to think about an American made car again. Of course, the last time I owned them was when Regan was in office and both had to have complete drive train work.

How old do you have to be to buy a Caddie these days?
