Re: [MBZ] Self-gratification
I still think the W126 was the best car Benz ever made. No rust issues, drove beautifully, and my brother got 29 mpg on his.

Re: [MBZ] Self-gratification
While the W210s are probably the most bulletproof modern Benz, there’s nothing like a long wheelbase W126 to cruise in.

[MBZ] Self-gratification
I gratified myself today by first driving a 43yo Benz 280E to the C&C which was a nice experience. I had not driven a 123 in awhile and this one actually drives pretty well. It was fun, 123s are cool cars. It’s a gasser so that is a new experience. Then this afternoon I cleaned up the 36yo 300SD and took it for a spin around the neighborhood then to the grocery store. The parking lot was full of Yankees driving like fools in their big new SUVs and trying to park them. A stinky diesel fit in nicely. The 126 just feels like a big comfortable solid cruiser whereas the 123 feels more nimble for fun driving. Different tools for different jobs I guess. --FT Sent from iPhone ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Self Gratification
In 2018 Angie and I got to walk under a Saturn V at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. The thing about the Saturn V is that you walk under it, and then keep walking under it for what feels like forever, the dang thing just goes on and on. I got thinking about the lunatics that strapped themselves on to the tippy top of that monster. Lunatics might not be a strong enough term. -Curt On Thursday, August 13, 2020, 1:44:18 PM EDT, Rick Knoble via Mercedes wrote: I you look at the video, he says the Saturn rocket was 0-42 mph in ten seconds.
