However, my favorite 'modern' Mercedes are the W126 and W140. Also a special place in my heart for a W201... the things I'd do to toss one around the streets around me...

But I do share the inability to discern models of cars years past-- the way my dad can tell from 50 feet at a glance a 1963 from a 1964 Camaro is mind boggling until I put into perspective I can do that with a W126

Sorry Snake, but they didn't make Camaro's in '63 OR '64. Since you weren't around then, you get a pass. No harm, no foul.

When I was a kid in the fifties, my Dad would call off the models of the cars from the thirties and forties and it amazed me that he could tell them apart. They all looked the same to me. When my kids were growing up, they were equally amazed that I could tell apart the cars of the fifties, sixties and even the seventies.
