SV, I too know the joys of an older Mercedes.
Here's me in April 2004 with my baby,
Cedes as I like to call her.
She is an '89 300E. The odometer stopped at 191k miles, and I figure she now has approximately 275k. I sold her to my brother in August 2004
when I moved up here to Canada, as she would have cost me nearly as much as I paid for her to meet Canadian specs and get registered and insured here. I absolutely fell in love with not only Mercedes-Benz when I got this car, but especially the engine and chassis (W-124). It's considered just about the best and longest-lasting Mercedes ever made. As SV said, 90% of the time with an older Mercedes, as long as it has been cared for and routine stuff has been done, it'll go hundreds of thousands of miles with just regular oil changes and maintenance. I intend to buy a 300E or CE (same car, 2-door convertible!
) that's really been cared for when I'm able to afford again to have a car - and then I'm going to pimp it out like the ones you see in the Bourne Supremacy!
I
love the Mirth Mobile, EV. Tpunk, NICE G35. Infinitis are beautiful.
And Jake, you should deck out your golf cart Van-Wilder style with the mirrors and the alarm
Everyone else that posted pics of their rides, very nice - I miss having a car
Especially cause I want to go to Vancouver
right now with a friend that's visiting from Finland but we can't afford bus/train/flying, so driving was the best option...but of course, I don' t have my own car.
