You're lucky you drive an S class. It was amazing how the S class seemed to drive up on top of the other cars

That's why I tell my 10 year old daughter that the 85 will remained parked unused on the driveway for the next 6 years. She just rolls her eyes.

Will prob look like a better option in 6 years when compared to a bike....

I love showing those videos to people, it really hits home the point of how much safer the W126 is than your average car. Amazing to see how it moved that big lineup of cars like that, and the occupants would have been completely fine! That one with the 420 gives goosebumps....

Wow, they sure don't make commercials like they used to...

I love that one of the 420SEL...very powerful and really makes you think.
