If you own one of these cars, please reply with the year & color of yours, as well as any modifications you've made that you'd care to detail. Also, please include your state/country. and TIA

As of yesterday, I can raise my hand and say HERE!!!

The Wife and I up here in WA state traded in the 96 C280 for a 92 500E, Slate / Black with 157K pampered highway miles (is that possible?). Currently I think we will keep the 225/55/16 Michelen Pilot Sports with stock wheels for a while.

HOORRRAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Does anybody have a solution to the "Perma-Grin" my Wife and I have? It seems to just creep up on you with out you actually knowing your doing it!


There is only one problem I am having, how do you get her out of the Drivers seat?
