I see you guys are still kicking...

Just checking in, I see some familiar faces.

I hope everyone is doing well, I see the forum hasn't changed to much. The political forum is about as entertaining as one would expect.


I think its time for another Mercedes, I have been trolling online for super cherry W126's or a decent R129. Or do I lease an E300, or a Carmax warranty a few year old CL550? Decisions decisions...


Anyway nice to be back!

You need a nice cherry w126 coupe. 560SEC, or a nice euro-spec 500.

They let you back in? We need to talk to management about that!

How's life treating you? I spy a '17 Chevy in your sig, business must be doing well!

Both excellent choices!

I saw this 500SEC while trolling my local CL for AMG goodies for the E55. It's not super cherry, but is pretty neat and wouldn't require a whole bunch of money to be back at 100%.

That 500 sec looks pretty nice. Euro spec I suppose. Lots of power, premium gas. I still miss my 84 sec. It took regular and had leather inside. White is an unexciting color.

Yeah management must suck they let me sign back in!

Business is doing very well, I cannot complain, I hope your doing well buddy!

Right now I'm leaning towards an R129...IDK kind of just want one. I don't want to spend a lot of money either, and I think I can pick one up for sub $15k...

Either way I'm back, I really miss you guys.

Nice to hear from you Hat! I check in probably only once or twice a month these days, so I am glad I saw your note. Hope all is well.

Buy my buddy's project car! 1998 W210, OM606, manual, with the E55(?) big brakes, and one of Baldur's DSL1 go-fast boxes.

Conveniently located on two pallets
