    Never saw that before - very cool, and some surprising picks. Thanks!

    Love Steve and his taste in cars and guitars---probably the only Yes member (with the exception of Downes) that can afford a Mercedes. lol

    I wonder when he learned to drive. I know back in Fragile days he still couldn't.

    Interesting that he picked an Abba song. I wonder if he sings along with Abba songs when no one else is in the car with him. Wouldn't that be a kick in the seat of the pants, he's actually more easy going than he let's on.

    Judging by the songs, I guess he just got the "stock" stereo....

    That model looks like a 2008. I have a 2008 E320 Blutec and it has an attachment for your iPod in the glove box. I don;t think I ever used the CD player in the car...

    I'm Coming Home...what a great choice!
    I just picked up my 2014 CLA 250 last week and am over the moon! Front wheel drive, four cylinder, four door coupe MB. Looks amazing
    and fairly reasonable for a Benz.

    I love the WRIF 101 sticker on the guitar case. That's a rock station here in Detroit. Back in the day they played tons of Yes. These days they play stuff like Metallica and Linkin Park.

    Jesus. I grew up in Detroit. I remember Uncle Russ Gibb and WKNR (Keener radio!). And then RIF came along. You mean is it still in existence?
    I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
