What is the box w/ 8 levers?
Never mind, I read the description.

Might be an option for wagon rear ends!

I don't know. There is one thing I have to say about this.....even though I would never ever consider doing this to my car. The car in in great shape. Here in Portland there are hundreds of Hoopties that even though it is a shame and practically masacering the car it recieved much more attention then many other cars. I wonder how it runs and what it looks like under the hood.

Also does that top roll back?

There were far better ways to waste money than to do that to ANY car. Where are the fashion cops to enforce the bad taste laws when you need them.

I dunno, Change the wheel design and get rid of the buttons on the seats and that would be a nice looking ride. Seriously.

Remember what Bishop Don Magic Juan says: Green is for the money and gold is for the honey.

Because all of their taste is in their mouths? 16 people have bid on this car. Time to start a new thread- The Ten Commandments of Mercedes Benz. 1. Thou shalt not paint the vehicle frog green.
