Current lineup is my e30 M3 which is pretty well sorted out, other than a few preventative MX items I need to address after far too many years of getting lucky. Other garage queen is the new-to-me 1995 SL500 I picked up this fall, 37XXX miles, nearly perfect condition, I have a ton of projects planned for that one. Driveway and airport b***tch car is a 2003 Mercedes C-class wagon. Doing a lot of heavy maintenance on that one, since it has 170k miles and I hope to get it to at least 500k. One thing I have noticed both with that car, as well as the SL500, is parts availability. Major use MX items are pretty available, but some of the lesser used stuff without other model commonality is becoming extremely hard to come by.....think things like the hood mat/insulation for the SL, or a driver side door interior pull handle on the C wagon. Not nearly as much of an issue for the e30, I think since the demand is still out there pretty heavily. I really hate buying Chinese knock off crap, but that is starting to become the only option for some stuff on the Mercedes classic side, other than fabricating it yourself or refurbishing existing parts from the car. I do have a couple good EU contacts who can hunt for more esoteric Euro market items for me, but it's pretty cost prohibitive for regular replacement things that aren't bigger ticket items (period correct Brabus exhaust and euro market headlights for example of my most recent search). Wife DD is a '23 Honda Pilot that is thankfully trouble free and just goes.
