A dream car

I needed another car so I paid $10,000 for a 1991 Mercedes SL500 convertible. My wife said, 'Are you crazy?' But it's a fun car and it's something I really like driving.
It's like a time machine stepping back to 1991 technology where CPU and computer chips were just beginning to get incorporated into automobiles. As you can see she's a good looking "old lady" who's aged well. Not one scratch on her and drives like it came off the showroom floor.
