Last weekend, I saw a nice silver 300D ripping down the road. A couple
days later I heard, then saw a Thing, still running. That is unusual.

They sell hundreds, if not thousands of new mercedes here all the time.
After about 6 years, they are nowhere to be seen. Where they all go, I

Dealer trade-ins here that are too old or worn out even for the
second-tier used dealers but worth more than scrap are often sent down
to Mexico, I've heard.
I don't know that an 8 year old MB would get that treatment, I guess it
depends what shape it's in.

Off lease which is about 4 years or so, will be on the used section of the
dealers lot for a bit. But 7-8 years old, they are gone. Used independent
dealers will keep older cars, but still, there are very few of them for the
numbers of new cars being sold and used here. Also, our emission

Saw three count 'em three 140s this week, one on the move. The other two were
parked but I assume got there under their own power. But, one was '92.
I wondered at the time if any had working AC or door closers.

Man, what a nice car.
This week while at the market, loading my purchases into the C300, I heard a
familiar sound. Pulling into a stall nearby was a yellow 123, not that banana
yellow and not the Beirut-beige but a medium yellow. The car was an
eye-popper. Absolutely immaculate, painted

I missed getting one of those about four (?) years ago

I used to drive my carpool into DC from Bethesda, MD in a W108 Arabian

I saw a 280SE 4.5 a block from my house this morning - parked on the street -

The 280SE 4.5 is a 108 that was imported in 1971 and 1972 An SEL

IMHO, the 108 body style was one of the best. I used
