i'm well aware of the VW/Audi influence but for a car of this caliber, it shouldn't feel like they dipped into the VAG parts bin when building the car.

99-05 Jetta/Golf (this is the shift gate i'm refering to)


97-04 Passat (the navigation is eerily similar here)


VW Phaeton (steering wheel looks too similar)

 

what a wholly insensitive and outright rude response

who says something like that??? Way to show compassion.

almost as bad... could your reading skills be any worse?

it wasn't his father's friend genius - it was his friend's father

and

video clearly shows and describes the cars being rear ended

but that's besides the fact - pretty unfortunate stance you took there chiefy...

Btw Reckless... the car looks like origami likely due to use of the Jaws of Life... maybe he wasn't belted? Doesn't look like he could have been sitting in the back w/ all those boxes / appearant groceries...

and I'll agree w/ you, W220's pale in comparison to W140s when it comes to interior build quality / materials

tho same case for W210s compared to W124's, and so on - all MB's of 'this' era took a slide down that unfort slope

the 600 being a 600 makes up for 'that' in other regards tho IMO

 

yawn. ignore list for you

 

way to make friends there bud... very apparent you lack a social mirror - live alone I'm guessing... just sad.

ah yes, perrrrfect - please do not participate in any thread I post within... thanks

so, I call you out on being Stanley (yes, the entire TOOL CHAIN) as well as misinterpreting the data entirely - and your truer colors shine even brighter? Priceless.

sorry all, back to the thread and enough ^sad / pathetic / shallow^ involvement

 

Don't fight my friends.

Life is fragile indeed, please use your words to pray.

I didn't realize how weak human is until a man was deadly injured in front of me on my way to school. Bloody blood kept spewing out from his nose followed the pace of the heart beat making a big puddle beside my feet. He was no longer a man but a dead meat on the ground shaking by itself.

Yes, sometime that bunch of cells and nerves are pretty strong and they fight by themself and cure automatically, but, sometime they just give up.

Death is no strange as it's the only destination everybody going after the first cry. But I do respect life more after that incident as people are nolonger jumping monkeys around me, every individual has that part of fragile and weakness. The more I care about my life the more I respect others.

People may not be able to feel the life deeply, some may see others just like machine collecting money on the street. But when a certain moment touch the nerve, it may change alot.

Nick won't expect this thread got this heavy but it's part of everybody's experience. Compared with life what kind of car is driven seems not that important. People won't get admireable or less favored solely because what car they have. The value of a person is inside the skull not out side the body.

 

Very well said. Just ignore people like that its just a waste a time.

 

Notwithstanding the insensitivities of some members here , I'd like to get this back on track.

I'm hoping to keep my S600 for quite a while and will probably have it when I make my next purchase. But for my next one I think I would like to get a convertible. The above pictured Bentley would be a dream car but doubtful it will make the short list unless I hit the Powerball sometime soon. There are a few drop-tops that catch my eye. I could see settling on a SL, a Nissan Z Roadster, or an Acura NSX. Any of those are sexy, quick, and fun looking. Probably not going to happen for another 2-3 years though. The S600 will definitely fill the bill for now...

my 93 S weighs more than 800 pounds more than my 03, I know which one I'd rather be hit in, front or side...

 

That's a shame. It looks like the W220 slid under the truck cargo and the truck rolled over it!..The roof is ripped off...

 

Wow good stuff here guys went a little of topic but yeah LOL

 

Not quite. More likely this happened when they were trying to extradite him from the car.
