Not sure about the wheels either. I have that color combo though. Can't stop looking at it.

Welcome to the Mike & Dave Show everyone! We'll be here all week! Try the Veal!
Ok thanks for the total LOL. I really needed it.

I didn't realize you weren't aware that "sausage" is also a common slang term for "*****". So like when you and Mrs. ATCPUP are out socially, and someone offers you guys something to eat, you would want to avoid saying things like, "No thanks. I pretty much stuffed her with sausage a few hours ago!" or if someone offers her a sausage tell her not to say anything like "I don't think I could swallow another sausage!", even if its true. Folks who don't grasp your strict literal sense of language might get the wrong idea.

You're welcome.
Hey if we are acting like high schoolers then it wasn't Mrs atcpup that I was giving the sausage to, it was your mom....******

I've only been reading this thread because it has enough traffic to be on the home page, but this nearly made me spit my wine on the screen.


And I totally agree about forums going down hill as the cars get older. W209 CLKs date back to 2002 and 6-cylinder coupes scan be had for well under $10,000, and I see posts like "yeah, that one is nicer, but my bank will only finance a car up to 10 years old." And I'm thinking "your financial situation is such that you have to finance $10,000 and you are buying a Mercedes!?!?"

Technically Dave would be the ****** in this scenario, since I've made it very clear that I was not a willing participant in his antics. I for one am not going to stand by and watch you besmirch the sexual orientation of a valued forum member, sir!

I do appreciate you throwing my 75 year old mom a mercy-bone. She's been so depressed since the stroke. Today on her Facebook page she said "Had a little sausage last nite" and I thought she was talking about what they were serving in the nursing home.

I'm just really impressed with my ability to get someone, in the span of two posts, to both deny being homophobic and call me a ******.

I'll tell you how. First you mocked poor Dave for his lifestyle choice, then you bragged about having quasi-consensual sex with a seventy five year old stroke victim. That's exactly how.

Also, if she's to be believed, you have a small wiener, although a lot of the crap she posts on Facebook isn't true and besides the cell phone pic was pretty blurry and may have been of a midget's thumb.

Do you think we could get the Admin to make this thread a Sticky, in case other members with transmission problems need help in the future?

Yeah, she's already had you added to her Visitor's log. Just tell the charge nurse your name is "Stumpy".

To be honest, it's all she can take. But you should see the smile (well half a smile since the stroke) when I'm done. You should be happy for her.

Whoa! Let's get something straight here. Offering a hug to somebody who's down in the dumps about his car problems is not gay. It's called being a good friend and offering support. Mike has totally misconstrued my friendship with him as being gay. It's a truly platonic friendship, nothing else. It really was a roll of silver dollars in my pocket, the hug actually happened from the front, and there was no jackrabbit gyrations or whatever he called it. And the mayo packet was a left over from the chicken sandwich I had earlier in the day, and it never exploded as he would lead you to believe. I have a feeling he was recalling his previous nights dream, which would happen to be a nightmare for me.

Mike is likely confusing me with Atc, who I've heard has a reputation for hiding out in dark and seedy places...with his favorite watering hole being a place called "The Man Hole". He may say that he only hangs out there for the world renowned chicken wings and beer, but I have a feeling that there's more to this story. Stones and glass houses here people.

Mike5125 and DaveW68...what a great team. I just about fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard! I am tipping the waitresses well.


WillieMack...you stated elegantly and succinctly the ideas I was trying to convey to the OP.


This thread really should be a sticky for W221 transmission issues. Many, many good comments in addition to the folks above. Well, except for the OP. I learned years ago to never gratuitously insult those who might have the information I need to acquire.


I realize I *only* have a W210 and a W211 but can I come over here and hang out with you guys every once in a while?

This thread has shown me that the newer S550's must be purchased going through the MERCEDES BENZ CERTIFIED PRE OWNED network. In which I intend to follow when my time comes for purchasing. Or, you should have loads of money to poor into the vehicle when you have any issues thus understanding that it's required maintenance.

I'm thrilled. She says you're her favorite lover because it doesn't hurt and it's over with quick. She got a huge kick out of your ballerina outfit and leather mask, but she wanted to know why, in the moment of ecstasy, you yelled out "DAVEW68!!!".

We're available for weddings and bar mitzvahs as well. (If you want ATCPUP to do the thing with the gerbil it's $200 extra.)
