I think we're all missing the point here ... I for one am pretty excited about the new checklist I'm going to use when fixing an old Benz:

1. Remove all oem equipment.
2. Install copious video screens and, of course, wifi.
3. Glue in liberal amounts of fake fur.
4. Add sound, preferably distorted.
5. Apply Krylon.
6. Drive.

I'm off to the police auction now ... man this next restoration is going to be a piece of cake!
