well it was a long week for me and it kinda sucked long story short.i got kicked out of my home and had to sleep im my car well tell to night. i got to tell you this car has alot of room for some one as big as me. my car had some battery power left to play the cd player. and on the good news my car will be up and running in 2 weeks or so. and that means the work will start again on my car.and looking for a job.

 

So youre back at home?

 

yes for right now

 

 

What topic? Was there a theme here? I thought your car was already running. It ran in the video, what happened to it?

 

Yeah, w124's not personal problems. Save that stuff for the "Off Topic" forum, or conversations with friends

 

Agree with myFirstBenz. Sorry Rio.

 

yeah sorry but i kinda was nice sleeping im my car.the battery was dead T_T or still is dead but i got to tell you this car had every thing i needed. like a home away from home. i do miss my car but it will be running befor or right after my b-day on the 21.i will also be 21 that day to.

 

Lets Get Wasted!!!!

 

i know but i was kinda glad to be back on line to and see all the stuff i missed

 

lol that would be fun. if i do get drunk i know im not taking my car lol this was also a coming back thing for me since my car will be running again soon. so i can continue to work on my video with my car and some other fun thing. like getting my car ready for painting i just need to get 300 bucks for paint.

 

Where are you getting it painted for $300?

What exactly do you need to get her running? Just a battery?

 

i am going to paint it my self. im getting training from a professional so if i am doing some thing wrong he will take over. yeah a battery and 2 new tires. i need 300 for the paint 2gal of black and 1gal of red paint. the next thing is going to be done after that is the inside. 1,400bucks for the leather and crushed red velvet so me i need 700 for the leather and velvet and the rest becuz im getting it put in from west coast custom witch might be a little more but that might be last. motor is the 1st thing.

 

Red Crushed Velvet? You could probably find a cool red steering wheel off an '82 Oldsmobile that would really top it off!

Seriously, where would you use red crushed velvet in a Benz? I can't picture it. I don't think you could find crushed velvet anywhere in Germany except maybe großmutter's drapes. But then, I like things pretty much stock so that's just me.

 

Rio, you do provide interesting posts seeing these snotty cars from a different view. We need to be reminded of artistic not practical vision for our cars. How about the guys that "painted" their Mavericks and Gremlins by gluing down green Astro-Turf? They had the calling you share. Ah, the 70's.

Red Velvet is fine if you or your buds don't smoke. Dropping a cig on velvet is not a good thing at 70mph.

About that paint though, gallons should be quarts. The paint guy will be delighted to sell you a couple gallons but you may point out you're painting a sedan not a ship.

I'm glad to know the car is comfy if I ever need to sleep in her. Thanks for the tip and don't let our wives know.

 

yeah i am mostly a 70's fan. i like out of this world stuff to but most the stuff i am doing has a point im not pimp im just puting the velvet in the middle of the seats not all around the car oh and in a few other places most of what is left left im using for other things. sorry for not being on i was away at a 3 day party. god party mant the new Wii kicks allot of ***.

 

rio, quick question. you said your 260 was bored out? out of curiosity, do you know by how much?

 

i don't know. all i know is that there was a lot of damage to the motor from when it seized up. they were not shure if they could fix it i don't know how much but i know it was a lot.

 

Where did you **** & shower?

 

^ You seriously want an answer to that?

You didn't shower did you, Rio...

JK!

I admire your aspirations for your car. I have no motivation to work that hard any more. The red velvet will look good in the center of the seats. I was picturing a Buick when you first mentioned it!

 

hey, get off his back! I'm sure that west coast customs will do a very nice job with that crushed red velvet.

Pshhh I still have Louis Vuitton that i haven't taken off the headliner because i'm lazy. I still think the ultrasuede looks good on the back of my seats. If you read my early posts i was once like him but now i'm going to be 24 and a lot has changed. I'm sure he will have a very nice car in 3 more years....

How can i forget about my marble center console...

 

oh man that thing is sick looking. i got a good chance in getting this job at a art shop they will pay me 10 bucks an hour i hope i get the job.
