Car saga comes to an end!
In July of '21 I ordered a Diesel Suburban Premier, my dealer informed me that I probably won't get it till 2023. When I placed the order diesel was about $3-4/gallon...it's a bit more now. During that time I've looked at Volvos, Infinitis, Lexus, BMWs, MBs...My wife reminded me that since my oldest will probably drive next year maybe we don't need a huge car. I ended up with a 2022 All Terrain at $3k under MSRP. I've loved station wagons forever. This thing is beautiful and a beast. Thanks to all for your council especially Aoetecles!

One thing David is I would look into a film that makes auto glass bullet proof. I believe there is such a thing. I could be wrong. But if there is Honestly I would think it would be a good idea.

Love wagons & big MB fan, congrats!

I've had 3 MBs, my grandmother 7, and my dad has a 72 (I think) 280SE project.

Mine were 2 82 diesels & a 15 C-Class.
Grandmother's were all S-Class from 89-15

When I was sixteen my first car was a 1968 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser.
My friends had Camaros and Firebirds and I drove a land yacht!
It had power everything and was fun to drive until I drove it into
a utility pole.

Too funny. We had a Vista Cruiser with a 455 in it until mom hit some black ice and drove it into a tree. Biggest motor we’ve ever had in land vehicle. My dad cut a piece of foam rubber to fit the back with the seats down so two of us could sleep there and two could sleep in the tent while camping. I don’t see Dave doing that, but maybe he’ll let his kids sit in the rear facing seat. Nice vehicle, Dave.

Drool, an AMG wagon would be on my short list if I came into some big disposable $$.

Congrats on the new wagon, it's a beauty. My folks had a 1971 Pontiac Catalina and that is what started my love for wagons.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.
