Me and my Benz....

Hello all -

New member here - but I must admit, I'm also BMW driver. I'm currently looking for an SL55 or perhaps an SL550, so that'll be the car that brought me here, but I have previously owned a 2011 E350 - which was, a terrible car I'm sorry to say, and I traded it 9mos after I bought it.

Its obvious there are a lot of good folks here sharing info, so I look forward to making use of that help, and perhaps eventually, providing it in return. The instructions say to post a picture of your "Benz" - well I don't have modern Mercedes yet, so instead, you get a picture of my 280 SEL 4.5

Mercedes has always known how to do a beautiful front end, really gorgeous car.

Thanks all - it is a great ride, I need to do a valve adjustment and maybe restore the injectors, but she runs well.

I'll follow-up with a picture of the SLXXX once I have one picked out!

Nice benz! My Junior High school teacher had one just like this, and it turned out to be the precursor owning a benz!

Welcome! Love those 108s! Put it in bags and some BBSs and it will break necks!

Gorgeous! I have been hooked on MB since the early 70s. Such style and quality! Well built automobiles made to stand the test of time. Very few auto makers could make something as bland as a four-door sedan look like a work of art.

I'd rather stare at this front end than most others, and that includes Marilyn Monroe and Dolly Parton.
