I'm a whooping 18. I've got 3 w123's, my 20 yeard old brother has 1, and 2 friends (18 and 19) each have another. Does that get the young'ins more points?

Got my Mercedes almost 2 years ago at the age of 16

Darn! I started driving Mercedes diesels at your age 35yrs ago. Enjoy a long life with them. I sure wish there was a forum then. I'd probably be driving the first one still. RA Y M

When I was 20 most of the vehicles that I drove were Olive Drab.....some of the slower ones even had bullet holes.......my POV was an old MGA Twin Cam, the MP's on Ft. Bragg had a heck of a time catching that one......

Yep- the 83 is a turbo. That is really crazy. How many miles do you have on the Volvo?

Arrow Running Boards

In the old days.....mostly pre-WWII.....cars and trucks had little platforms under the doors, where your rocker panels are today......they were like a step, or a little platform for the Al Capone types to stand and machine gun the Feds (G-men)......

SB

See guys.....this thread is educational as well.....
