Talking Got my W126 fix today!

And it was as good as a nice cold German brew after a hot long day of work.

Took the SDL to the tire place to get new shoes put on, and back to my house on I95 to test the balance...on a closed section under controlled conditions...at legal speeds of course...in Germany

The balance is meh, I may have the dealer do them again when I get it alighned. The local shop does not have one of those handy dandy Hunter road force machines, the dealer does, and charges about 1/2 as much, go figure once in awhile the dealer is cheaper. Oh and the 245's in the back were a waste, don't really look any wider, maybe if I lay on the ground in front of the car I will see a difference.

Anyway I NEEDED a W126 fix in a bad way I havn't driven one since Thanksgiving! And I was actualy getting used to the Jetta which is scary! I actualy said to myself yesterday hmm this car is not so bad! Yeah that was a scary moment, thankfully a healthy dose of W126 fixed that. The long hood with a star at the end like God intended it; the power, the brakes, actualy having some meat around you, the silky smooth I6, RWD, a decent radio, climate control, comfortable seats, and ROOM! OH how I have missed you! I actualy drove 15 miles out of my way on the highway because I was just having so much fun!


Oh and here is my new desktop background, W126 porn.

As an added bonus I also drove an S320...if the S class isn't considered to be the best sedan in the world...it damn well ought to be. Driving a medicore sedan will remind one just how good they are.
