whats up? ill tell you whats up....the roof

Im trying to get a weekend job, ive decided to not sell my 300SD and now i have 2 MB diesels

I just didnt have the heart to sell it, plus i had alot of people flake on me when they said they were going to come look at it. My moms BF suggested to give it to the San jose salvage yard since they give you $750 if its running.....i almost slapped him...but controlled myself.

Now i need the extra $$$ to pay for some new parts and a new paint job, im starting to get surface rust on the roof of the car

Leave the keys under the seat and I'll do a few doughnuts with it as you are stuck working.


Shame these cars don't have a locking rear, oh the power slides and such that could be done.

Eh, I've done some pretty impressive slides despite the lack of locking rear... Most of the way across a parking lot before....

Just got home from a gig... it was with Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin impersonators (it is still Las Vegas, after all...)

Happy to have my Benz back today after being in the shop for a week...

Looking forward to getting the kinks worked out of my GreaseCar system tomorrow so I don't have to keep paying for fuel...

My wife is working on the financing for a real estate deal on 56 houses - in ONE deal! Come on baby, daddy needs a bunch of $$$ to spend on the Benz...

...........................

Yup, that's about it.
