..... She didn't believe me that the grand babies would rather ride in this than any of the other vehicles we looked at.

I got a new minivan last week.For third row seating I put a couple sofas in the back. And like my old Guzzi it uses Brembo disk brakes on all wheels! Seriously, with the traction control, this thing will stand on its nose!
You guys keep suggesting mini vans, you trying to get me hurt???
I'm always pleasantly amused with all the automobile safety concerns from motorcyclists on motorcycle forums.Ironic !!!
From my experience, kids absorb and recovery better and easier from the same magnitude of impact than adults. I watch my grandkiddies at rough and tumble play and I ache and hurt just from watching!!!
All true , but they don't fare so well in a car crash . Besides , we need a new generation of campers , and I REALLY want to meet these grand babies some day , figure growing up around you they will be , well ... interesting Dusty
I think that some of the MBZ naysayers on here are clueless douchebaggery peddlersAgain, what You may think regarding the MBZ marque means jack-shit, UNLESS you have spent at least 3 years behind the wheel of a MBZ sedan as a Daily Driver.Other than that, you are as qualified to speak on the MBZ marque as you are to opine on which tampon fits you best, which considering some of the butt-hurt, diarreah verbosity with this crowd, may be appropriate for some of you after all.Now that this qualifier is out of the way, and hopefully the static chaff of the Clue-Impaired is mitigated; I will present my own bonafides regarding MBZs, by posting Facts on my current daily driver with a recent pic, and general maintenance info on same. This is my 1999 SL500.We got it in 2003, and since then have logged on close to 200K Miles. In that time I replaced one CPS ( $ 28), Two Front Shock Tower Mounting dampers ( $45 ea. ), Two Oxygen sensors ( $120 for both), OEM Radiator -installed ( $500 ), Front Brakes - New OEM Disks and calipers - installed $650 ). Not bad for a car which gives its driver arguably the best ratio of smiles per Miles.Speaking of smiles; just for fun, I up-graded the stock Wheels and tire size ( 17" dia / 8.75 width ) to AMG specs. I went with a Staggered set of 18" dia, Deep Dish Wheels and tires < 245 -18/Front, 275 - 18 Rear >. (total cost - $1400 ). I also design-built the Single Fin / Mercedes star emblem grill. I made the part because I did not care at all for the OEM 7-piece multi-slats system and felt that the Single Fin is the better representative of the entire two-door SL / Roadster blood line, which dates back to the 1956 SL "Gull Wing". FWIW, after the R129 line ended in 2002, MBZ went Back to Single Fin grills on their SLs... Personally, I still prefer the design lines of the R129 line over the newer SLs. Which explains why I don't have a newer SL. BTW, I'll close this note by stating that I'm not into MBZ as " Status" cars. I never have given a flying Shiite about "status" cars, or with brand names posing... When I ride my CX100, I wear a SPAR-X helmet, Not ARAI, Shoei, IKOn, G-Max or whatever- And So much for that.And as for automobiles; what tickles my nut sack are those special cars which like to go fast, stop with authority and handle predictably when pushed hard and fast. This is me, at 22, some 35+ years ago - with my Euro-Spec 1966 911S, which I bought by and for myself - I recall eating a lot of Top Ramen that year, saving up the money. Obviously NOT a Poser.I got this Porsche because of its driving characteristics, and how, at the time, I felt that it was the closest one could get to two wheels performance in a 4-wheel car. And if I have to explain this notion any further, maybe the poser is YOU.Have a good Mercedes Benz Day..-
I was referring to the redesigned 2016 xc90

Just piling on about German cars. My neighbor has a couple of Beemers. He likes working on them like some here like to play with their Guzzis; he has one car that he uses for track days. Anyway, his daily driver was overheating. He showed me the ELECTRIC water pump he pulled. He wouldn't tell me what the replacement costs. An Electronically controlled electric water pump with an attached aluminum thermostat housing? Why?
