Around the Bay Area, you see a lot of old Benzs. This was one of the big markets for MB, and still is. I see abandoned Benzs all the time on the street where I go to work. There is a Mercedes junk yard and people drop off their cars on the curb. The yard can't touch them of course, but people don't know this. So they sit for weeks. So Sad!

Anyway, The other day, I saw this 240 turn the corner in front of me, so he was now in front of me going away...

...and on top of the car were about six big PALLETS!!
...the rear suspension was bottomed out, but it chugged along with no smoke-making money for its master...

The other day, there was a perfect 80's 300D turbo, no plates, dirty-dark brown, gorgeous interior. Someone snatched it that night!
