Re: [MBZ] This is Sort of Cool

Youngest son has been a follower of railcar graffiti artists since he was little. Rather than engage in such behavior, he mentioned that he thought it would be cool to get some old O-gauge boxcars and try airbrushing them. MMM put me in touch with some of his railcar fans but nothing panned out

Hoovie bought some old woody at auction and thought he got a good deal. Looked pretty nice. He remarked that these cars appealed to old farts and now that they’re dying off there isn’t a lot of appreciation for the old stuff much anymore; hence, “low” prices on them. I bet the old guys still thi

This era of car hasn't appreciated in the way I would expect it to. It seems like baby boomers are more interested in the cars of their childhood than that of their parent's era. Interestingly the cars of GenX (my generation) sucked (the malaise was strong) so we're into the cars of our parent'

Re: [MBZ] 1986 300E - 89k miles - $3,500

Northern IL would be a concern for me, although the simple fact that it’s still around says that it’s probably fairly solid. Low mileage can be a detriment, mainly dealing with soft parts like suspension rubber and such. People make a big deal out of low mileage cars, but there’s a flip side to
