Something must be done

While I don't completely agree with the way Gov. Walker is handling this, something must be done. BTW - Him bringing a bat was something that was brought up first by the Punker, not the Punkee, so I...

What will the car be used for?

Commuting to work? Hauling a family of 4? Does he like stick shift or auto? Is MPG a priority or is he more into the "feel and performance" of a car?

VW reliability has not impressed me. Not...

I LOVED the pic

I have to ask though, I see SELs go for cheap all the time. What is so costly with owning that model? Seems like the regular 300Es get more money in the market?
I also love ads where the seller...

I wonder what the text was?

Maybe she was posting on PeachParts.com :D

"Help, my Benz doesn't _____" and "Where is the plug in for my Ipod on my W108?"

My guess

Sounds MC related or else you would be getting pressure. Any leaking anywhere? Since it is already boogered, I would keep pumping the brake to see if I could get pressure to build up. Maybe have...

You are asking the wrong people

As a W108 owner, I say "go find one and buy it" but I wouldn't do it thinking you will save any money. They are cool. I like the way they look. Asking us to decide to get a Benz or not is kinda...

The car has to be running

The car has to be running, then push the button on the dash panel. Mine were vacuum operated as I recall. It needs the engine running to create the vacuum for the system.

I would ask

that they swap tires if they won't give you a new one. Just pull two wheels off and swap, marking the suspect wheel. The shop is only out labor at this point. If the wheel continues to lose air,...
