I think this was the first audition car for MTV's show, nah, just kidding. It's just one ugly mutt Benz.

Ouch, mine looks like a museum piece next to that travesty
I doubt it has 90K on the odo. I am sure it died at 190K and hasn't moved since 1982.

thats it-- i really am going to paint the shlomo car one day.

navy with a silver or white roof. these old bricks look so very classy with two tone paint. even in this terrible(even on a beetle) color--it looks ok!

i'd also like to see an ivory w115/123 with an orient red roof, or swap those colors out-- it'd be just plain gorgeous.

theres no way that car has 90k. let me do the math...

2006-1974= 32 years old. 90k/32= 2800 miles a year. 2800/365= 7 miles a day.

i really wish i could drive all week on one gallon of fuel....

I'm sorry, I actually like the color. Admittedly, it doesn't really look at home on this car, but I do like it.

there is your

explanation for this car.

for every color there is a lover.

not for me either, but if it were just all one color it wouldnt be so bad.

also i would ditch the wheelcovers and whitewalls!

here is where i usually make a comment about good thing all of us dont like the exact same women.

Ug-leeeee
That's a popular 'hip' color nowadays though.

If the mileage was real, it might be worth repainting,
if not for all that cancer.

That car has serious rust. If it was rust free I would consider it myself. The wheels would be the first to go. I like the two tone paint even in that color. It looks like a proper 70's green to go on a 70s car. Needs white walls too.

All it really needs is the right threads on the driver,
topped off with some Disco Pimp kicks.




Hey Brandon, you can get those on eBay for only $50
You'll be 7 foot tall!
