I know all the Baker's are still in shock over it but Ken did indeed part with 'Fritz' yesterday - his 1984 Mercedes car friend which has been in the family for the last 21 years!! More unbelievable is that he actually got some money for Fritz!! Of course the replacement car had to be pretty awesome (and the right price) in order for this to happen and here you have pictures of it - a 2000 model year E320 Mercedes in a color called Smoke Silver (though it looks more like champagne). The interior is tan leather and the car only had 47,000 miles on it! Though this car is nearly 7 years old, it looks, rides and smells like brand new. What a treat it will be to take it to Virginia today to pick up Grandma and Grandpa - and to see their faces. Wonder how many negatives they will find. Hee Hee. I for one am very proud of Pops. Love, Oma
P.S. I'm even prouder that KAB Tech has not bought a replacement truck yet (for non-family readers, our beautiful F350 was stolen and stripped about a month ago). Thomas' truck was used a couple of times as well as rental trucks for about 3 weeks. We hope to be able to manage without 'Big Red' as we wind into retirement.

Well done, Pops! Fritz is probably elated about his new environs on the lot. Think of all the prospects he has ahead of him! Hope the new Fritzina will prove comfortable and reliable! Love, Shin
Yes, the new car was a great ride. It's maiden trip to Virginia was good proof - no back complaints from this passenger/driver! - Mom
