My First Mercedes! 1992 1-owner 190E
Hi everybody!
My name is David and I like turtles...
The first thing you'll notice is my username: JDMexican. I have a short background with Japanese vehicles. I have owned my WRX swapped 2.5RS for nearly 5 years now and I've done just about everything on it myself. It's my pride and joy and I love what it's come out to be. Oh and I'm a bit of wheel ***** for rare wheels. So expect the same for the benz.
Current look
TAILORED // DAAR's WRX Swapped RS by David Arellano, on Flickr
Previous set of wheels (Desmond Regamasters)
DA\AR's Subaru \\ WRX Swapped RS by David Arellano, on Flickr
Full WRX swap (Engine, trans, brakes, etc)

But anyway! What you're really here for. Ummmmmmm I just got home from picking up my first Mercedes! She's a 1992 190E 2.3. It was purchased brand new back in 92 by the previous owners and they've taken fantastic care of it!
It currently has 101k miles on it and runs like a dream for the most part aside from a slightly rough idle (which could just be plugs, old gas or a few other things). Regardless, the car is fantastic so far and I'm amazed by the condition it's in for the age. I'll grab some more pictures a bit later.
I'll be starting a member journal here soon so I can document all the things I'll be doing to this gem of a car!

Thanks guys!
Haha I've actually gone as far as making a meme of a picture of my wheels with something like "When people think my wheels are Advans"
They're actually the same casting (but with filled spokes). They are officially titled Desmond Super Lonchamp XR3's.
