How is everyone doing?

I just realized that my 20th anniversary of joining this forum came and went! I was 15 when I started reading 17 when I joined in HS! Time flies!


Any old faces still around? This forum is a ghost town compared to what it was when I was running it.

I still haven't purchased another Mercedes, although now that I have a three car garage I probably will. The used car market is just so out of whack right now.


I hope everyone is doing well!

Hey a few old faces! I actually looked at a 1992 R129 SL500 today but I think they want to much, they want $23k for it I feel like its a $15k car!

I'm still here too, since 05.. I have a euro 124 diesel wagon and my 39 studebaker coupe express with the 83 300td motor I got from Berry Hill farm. I'm not doing much hands on any more but I read a lot of car stuff and buy and sell things..

Good to hear from you Hattie!

Congratulations on your age. It's quite rare to live so long. For me, I keep a constant goal of living about three more years.

'The current life expectancy is 75.6 for women and 70.8 for men. Out of the 7.8 billion people in the world, they are only about 316,600 — or 0.004% — centenarians living today, Iscovich reports. '

Stoney is that an E320. If the price is right and it has been taken care of/maintained buy it. You won't regret it.

Need to update the sig. The C250 but the dust in July in a read end hit and run. Car did it's job and sacrificed it's life for the Ms life. It was my turn to pick the replacement car since she picked the last two.

I found a '19 E450. So that has been added to stable. We still have the GLK 350 and it is still going strong.
