You drove a Mercedes-
Maybach?!! It must be nice to experience something like that. Even better would be getting chauffeured around in a Maybach.
If you look up that Mercedes dealer on Google Maps and go 2.3 miles NNW to GM Grand Blanc Center, 10800 S Saginaw St, Grand Blanc, MI 48439, that's the factory I worked in until I had to take disability retirement. I'm not sure exactly what year it was, but I think I was in my early 40s. And I had
nothing in the bank after my divorce 2 years(?) earlier when I took out a $32,000 loan. On the west side of the building, 1/3 of it's gone and there's only a foundation. That was the Press Room where I worked from 1985 until ~1992. Then I migrated to Metal Assembly on the other side of the wall, which I think is now the outside wall. The far east side of the building was the admin building. There used to be a train dock next to it where freight trains drove into the south side of the building. That's the long, narrow black roof. The shipping dock was just to the west of it, and the receiving dock was in the NW corner of the building that's gone now. Just west of the building was the tank test track, left over from WWII, where they stored dies on the concrete track that they didn't have room inside the building for. Tim "LeMag" Legendre used to work on the receiving dock, and he used thin wires made for hanging tags on racks to snare rabbits around the test track. Then he sold them to some other people at work. That was one of his supplemental income streams.
The parking lot used to have hundreds of cars in it. Now it has 11.
