Can someone please explain to me the value (other than in dollars) of having one of these fancy, analog clocks in the center of my dash? I know earlier models have this, too, and I never understood. $895 for an analog clock? Why??? -D > On Jun 15, 2024, at 1:06 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes

Would not be a bad deal at $7500 considering the miles, could probably make $2k on the pimp wheels then get a proper set of AMGs and good tires and have at it.  I do love these coupés https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/d/valrico-2010-mercedes-cl550-coupe-amg/7757298747.html -- --FT _

The engine is what makes the 55 valuable.  With a blown engine it's basically a parts car so this is a stupid ask.  It might be possible to source a short block and build one up, M113Ks are pricey. --FT On 6/15/24 3:18 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote: Yikes https://www.facebook.com/share/

Re: [MBZ] OT: Optometry and glasses (Costco content)

Took my mom to the Costco in East Lansing MI Thursday. We used the optometrist who rents an office inside Costco, who turned out to be great. $79 for full exam. He listened to her complaints of double vision when fatigued, and spent a lot of time dialing in prism correction to eliminate it.
