Didn't you know that Mercedes are so good they can drive themselves? I guess you haven't found the autopilot switch yet...

That is funny. That was me a few weeks ago. Both me and my friend who came along kept turning our heads because we kept catching the car out of the corner of our eyes. You think someone is tailgating.

Were you, by any chance, towing that car with all four wheels on the ground? That may be why there ain't no gosh darn driver in there.

What Mercedes sits that high? If I can see headlights over the tailgate, it must be on a dolly.

It's sitting on a race car trailer. All afternoon, every time Lance looked over his shoulder or in the mirror, he'd get a jolt when he'd spot that car right behind him.

I'm glad to see that you made it home allright. I hope that you are able to get everything you intend to out of it. It was driving me nuts to watch that car slowly decay out in the field.

C'mon everyone, I still have two more to sell. I have a complete W115 240D auto, and the 1959 190D looking for homes. $1500 firm for the '59, and I'll entertain any resonable offer on the W115 - which has no title.
