I don't know much about the new ones, but the old ones are kinda special
a couple of years ago one of our customers walked in and explained that his new wife wanted his ratty benz out of their fancy driveway. so i bought it from him it's a 79 US spec 280CE. I had no real use for it and it sat parked at the bottom of my driveway for 2 years. In august, i figure that it might be a nice car to drive around this winter. so i fired it up. and i'd have driven it right then to alaska confident i'd make the trip. how many other cars are there that you could say that about?
