Just spent a few minutes on the W220 forum. Not pretty. There is no humor there. I suppose this will be where the W221 forum ends up. Sad to say. I hope it takes a few years.

As these cars become available in greater numbers for $20k, the collective IQ of the forum begins to drop. It's inevitable.

Brother I have a gl450 and the same problem happened to me and I feel your pain also if you want me to email you exactly what they did on my GL please send me an email dzsm428@aol.com by the way I had a warranty but they only covered 1200 and I paid $700 good luck I suggest you take the car to a dealer I learned my lesson taking previous benzos to side repair shops that claim they can fix it but don't get me wrong there r some that know what they are doing good luck!!!

No, but apparently we should have skipped college entirely, spent the tuition money on drugs and hookers and then just waited until the 221s were so cheap that pseudo-literate high school kids were buying them to deliver pizzas with.

You can tell that many of the folks who are purchasing these cars now are MUCH younger than the folks who these S classes originally catered too. Many were likely former ricers who are now trying to appear more mature and are looking to graduate to an upper echelon type ho, instead of the skanks they were used to when cruising around in their fart canned Civics & Scions. How can you tell who they are? Some examples are when they start out a post with "Bro" or use foul language all the time. Or the ones who are shocked to find out that their 100k mile S550 is much more expensive to maintain and repair than the Civic they just came out of. These people aren't likely the corporate types or old men who you'd normally see driving one of these fine automobiles.

I didn't either until I came upon this:

That was painful to write, by the way. I had to keep "uncorrecting".

Lol. Maybe I should open a chain of Indy shops around the country and make it a franchise. Seems like now would be a great time. Who wants to go in with me?

Yeah but they're only interesting from an anthropological standpoint. Like when someone discovers an isolated tribe in the Amazon that's never had outside contact and believe having their picture taken steals their souls.

I prefer interacting with the kind of people who would be interesting to have a beer with.

I will now translate snovy's excellent post;

Newb: Hey bro my fknineg$%^ "Yugo ain't no ricer yo"
English: "Good day, gentleman. Technically, given that the Yugo was not manufactured in Asia, the pejorative term "Ricer" would not be applicable in this instance. "

Newb: "I ain't pour neither I can aford da car to just lik u so dont judge dat anin't cool u $fuuk^7"
English: "Like many of you, I also have sufficient means to purchase and maintain a vehicle of this caliber. I would very much appreciate it if you would kindly reserve judgment in this matter henceforth."

Newb: "$h i m badazz in my benz"
English: "DaveW68 and ATCPUP are super gay"
