"88 300CE- First Year Production
Hello all, been a while since I posted like I use to. For a living I'm a diesel mechanic for the past 6 years now. And yes there are many differences between gas and diesel. I still wanna give a crack at arena or semi pro football, oh well..........

), I'd probably get either a W221 S500 or whatever AMG version, or a W204 C63. I hated the W203 but am loving the new generation MBs.Has the US got the W221 S350?

I am an Internet Developer, graphics design person now - I used to run an small ebay european parts store (Redsparts) and website ; sold Volvo ; Mercedes ; Jaguar ; BMW , and Audi Parts before ebay's pricing got insane for sellers, and I got busy with lots of work
I also got into large Diesel Marine Engines / diesel generator sets - and sold those online with a business partner. I am a total DIY'er, electronics / computer repair nerd -- I can tear into pretty much anything (electronic and mechanical ) and (hopefully) fix it. Plasma TV's are my new multi-component puzzle
Lots of fun when you solve the problem and / or get to keep the one you fix

89 300TE, and 68 280sel
Student at Western Washington University, studying Business supply chain management.
I also work part time as an engineer assistant for Janicki industries. We manufacture composite molds for the marine, aerospace, and transportation industries with 4, 5-axis milling machines. We did the carbon fiber mold for the fuselage of the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It’s pretty cool stuff.

that is a pretty broad question..how much?....color?...ready to spray?...spot in or overal?l...valueshade sealer is needed w/chromabase?....substrate?..etc...I do have a sweet deal but unless your local there is Hazmat shipping charges that will negate my discount anyway

lots of cars
Well, I'm in california so it has to be Low VOC chromabase basecoat in charcoal grey (not sure on the color code yet). I think i would need 1 gallon and 2 quarts for an overall paint job. I already have a black sealer so i don't need the valueshade sealer. I'll have it reduce and mixed here.

'05 c230 Kompressor Sport Sedan
Finally some real answers! the c230 forum can learn from you guys big time. People there are so immature. People answer this question with stupid stuff like "pimp" or "nothing." crazy stuff. glad tehre's actually some content on this thread.

Mercees 300E 4matic 1989
I do nothig. I am a hedonist. I get up, take a handful of herbs and aminos, then after a while, have my raw milk fermented with kefir, with three raw egg yolks, a thin slice of rye with a big splash of butter and some honey from the comb. Then a handful of vitis. I read the news on rense.com. Play the piano, go to gym. maybe a concert in evening, as I live in Musical Vienna. What did I do? I am a retired airline training Captain from East African Airways. I bought my 300E 4matic new in 1989, and kept in Switzerland at my apartment. I have had one sensor warning light, and changed the rubber transmission thingammy, maybe because my son abused the ride. I have just fitted the Pulsar spark plugs and will drive to Hungary tomorrow to check the mileage. Also have the Turbonator installed, although most other benz forums told me bollocks on that one. We will see the results. I will post them.
