Unfortunately, the time has come for me to part with one of my most prized possessions: the 1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL my grandfather left to me.

I recently became a father and am quickly realizing what an expensive role it is! I'm glad and proud to be a parent and while its unfortunate that I need to sell my car, I'm happy to do so when I remember the "big picture".

Its going to be a little difficult because the car (Massachusetts) and I (Maryland) are a few hundred miles away from each other. I've recruited my cousin to assist with showing the car, but even before I get to that step, I need to buy a battery as the current one is dead.

The car will start with an extra battery jumper pack, but I don't my cousin and prospective buyers to have to deal with that!
