How about this one regarding the 500E brake conversion?

I wasnt even in kindergarten! And whats so special about her besides her rack? Nothing im sure Its just nice, and yes, its hard to see anyhting but racks and **** at this stage in my life, so hence the fascination with what I regard to be a Class A++ rack. Benzo needs some work, and get ontop of that 500e brake thing Chris! My dad can get me the stuff from his connections

Yeah, you didn't know he used to play kazoo for Iron Maiden?

He was with them until '92 when they parted ways and he became a back up singer for Parliament Funkadelik.

Something just occurred to me. You guys are 18-21 and you drive Mercedes. How on earth do you have trouble with the ladies?

If I was driving a w124 in high school or slightly thereafter, I would have been the biggest pimp in town.

Mercedes benz 1991 300ce(RIP), now an 89 300ce
yep, same thing with me. im from one of those areas where the kids have nicer cars than the teachers and sometimes even there parents. my car is very much on the cheaper end in comparison...then again i think that $3k was a really good investment for my benzo

ive had mixed reactions about mine. they range from $3k is an amazing deal, i like the rims/sound system. some dont like it as much, they dotn gve a reason though, other than it needs a paintjob. i agree with that. actually, one of my friends called my car an old persons car and he drives a buick regal

thats true but at the same time i am in desperate need of a paint job. its starting to rust and the front of the car is covered in i dont know what that has been almost baked into the paint. the clearcoat is gone, so right now the only thing between the paint and the air is the wax that is holding the impurities that have gotten into the paint in. the last owners should have waxed the car a lot more atleast

I agree. Not to mention the fact that what most people think is stylish and trendy today is going to be laughed at 5 years from now. Mercedes are timeless. When you have kids you can tell them that your first car was a Benz and they'll think "man my dad's a bad-***".

One of the "hot cars" when I was in high school was the IROC. Of course, the same guys that drove that car were also into wearing their shirts half unbuttoned and saying "fuggetaboudit".

I guarantee you those guys today look back in shame on their IROCs and chest hair and wish that they had owned benzes instead.

By the way, the ROC part of IROC stood for Retard Out Cruising.

Saijin and CRR,

once October rolls around, go buy some complete beater for like $500, park the Benz for the winter and run the beater into the ground. Next March, bust out the Benz again.

LOL out that's good stuff.

think about it like this, who else looks at their hood ornament and says

"to conquer land, air and seas"

that's enough said right there.
