Wow - three 119 motors in a field of 55 in the 1989 LeMans, and they finish 1st, 2nd and 5th.

No offense but try at least typing a readable sentence. What is "IDK"? AFAIK its not a word.

I Don't Know. . . either. Maybe I'll go look it up.

Spelling properly would be a nice start; then, composing proper sentences would be a fine follow-up.

I fear for the future of literacy; this, together with the fact that kids don't read books anymore supports my fear....

Now, that aside, the M119 is probably the best engine MB ever designed, and one of the most long-lived. Have no fear.

Sorry I was in internet talk mode. As for the "idk" it stands for "I don't know" For the other one "AFAIK" I never said that.

But this is a forum, not a spelling bee, I can type up a paper easy, no offense was taken, but this seems to be a bit unfair, classic typo along with internet abbreviations typically means un-readable sentence.

I guess I'll try to not use abbreviations anymore, and i just downloaded the spell check for the site, so it will be better for now on.

You all are old timers.

Dear E420,
We may be Old-Timers, over-the-hillers, but most all of us are young thinkers, and some of us have experience the newer generation will never see... At least I HOPE they never see some of the things we have seen!

Peace,

Writing incoherently isn't just ineffective, it's also rude. It's says "my time is valuable, yours isn't, you take the time to figure out this gibberish." Most people don't.

Your probably older than me.

Good spelling implies orientation to details.
In which case I want to add the following minor detail. Not only is it an M119....but it is an M119.975 (just like the car isn't just a W124...but a W124.034)


In the end, youth and vigor will be out-done by old age and treachery.

Wait, who are you talking to? Me? well if me, then, how old are you?

Its completely not that. Its not that I took time to know/figgure out what the "gibberish" is, its that, its just part of my generation. When you are txting on a phone, who wants to take the time to fully type out "laugh out loud" when you can just type "lol". like I said, I was in internet mode, and wasnt thinkin about spelling stuff out. i had multiple AIM (not a abbreviation its an instant messaging system) window up, facebook, myspace, and a txting on my phone, so, yeah sorry i'll fix it, didnt think it would cause so much controversy.
