One of the greatest cars ever

Just wanted to drop a few words of my love for the W140.

It was my first car ever and I think it was the greatest thing on the face of the planet. I just remember the look on my friends faces the first day of senior year in high school when I rolled up in my 1994 S420.

The thing was just great, to much to list.

What a solid performer in all categories. 1994 White S420... I miss you so much. Hope you guys are all enjoying your babies.

I just wish I could afford a 1997-1999 S320.

Well-maintained and clean w140's like your '94 S420 are hard to come by nowadays. At least you enjoyed it while it lasted… and your garage is now filled a pair of newer & more refined MB models! Can’t complain about that right?

Can't complain, but only the maintenance and time will tell. Nice web page thebenzbar. I like the W210, beautiful model.

Thanks benzbar, like the album. The C63 looks really nice. I haven't seen one out here where I live or go to school, but from what I heard today, someone at school has one of the new M3s, a white one.
