Of course I " give a crap" about my car. i love and respect w140's more then anyone. I dont undersatnd how anyone can own one of these cars and not try that at least once. i know it is harder on ur car then slowly cruzing around but as long as its not done often i dont see any problems. MB's are quality vihicals that are built to drive hard and not break a sweat doin it
And yes it is a 95 s500

Nice now try going sideways at 30mph. Not that I would sudjest such a thing in a heavy car.
Its all in good fun, a little tough on the rear suspension bushings, and diff. Just don't make a habit of it and you won't hurt anything. MB's are built really tough, you actualy have to try to break something.

When the rpm is constantly near the redline it is not good for the car, autobahn speed will not cause that to happen with a S500.

good first time Kev ! Man its killer on ur tires though, thats why i did it on my old tires, i got my new Dunlop Sport A2's now
I have fooled around (NOT OFTEN) doin similer stuff in the rain, and i belive it has made me a stronger driver ( iv been driving for less then 1 yr) , in Jan i was merging onto a highway and i hit a small patch of black ice, my back end started to swing out and i understood what it felt liek to have the rear of the car have no traction so it did not suprise me and i knew how to counter steer out of it.

For some reason when I picture a W140 I can't picture it doing anything like that! That had to be a 500 or 600, I can't see a 320 doing that.
