My neighbours all around me ride. I'm thinking about maybe getting a used Yamaha 4-stroke Apex (or some such) for the occasional comfy (and reliable) sprint.

I could never drive a couch  ;D I always had the latest big dog available at the time. Ride it for a year then trade in for the next big dog. Sledding is a brutal money pit if you want to ride at the front  :) A typical year for me was 8,000 to 10,000 klicks.

Solid list. I'd lean towards a 2009 W209 E550 4M though. Even made the CR recommended list, though a bit of a pig on gas.

That would be a W211 chassis.  Great car to drive - a guy at work has an 08.

Yes sorry. Got mixed up with the contemporaneous CLK.
