I was reading this thread and you had told me anout the Reatta, but I was actually crossing my fingers during the first page of the thread, for a 1984 cadillac seville diesel.......lol
Talk about flops.....
Didn't think the northstars were that bad, the worst was the fact that most were FWD...

I was wondering if you were going to show your face here again, especially after buying that BMW of mine. The horror!

Is there a PTSD group here for working on Mercedes and having tools explode in your face?

Ah ok, I thought you had it already - will be looking forward to seeing it. Always thought they were great looking cars. I thought they were mid engine until a couple years ago (if GM made a "luxury" fiero...)

I exited the highway 50 exit into newton today at 60mph, it stated 35 mph, I had no issues at 60....hmmm,.. Who makes these speed limits anyways? ..But, the guy in front of me thought I had lost my brakes or something and sped up real quick, thinking id hit him.

Damned BMW drivers.......

Anyways, I opened the door to the s320 today and was intoxicated by the best smelling leather Ive ever smelled. It helped to soothe my traumatic exploding tool flashbacks.

The crt is great. Reminds me of my old apple IIe green screen.
Playing number munchers and oregon trail.
Its really cool either way. Just think, when you retire someday, people will have flying cars and you can open your garage to reveal a Reatta, and an 85 500sl

Thanks!

I am in the process of getting rid of things with four wheels at the moment though.

Besides I doubt it would be very competitive in HS against the Hondas!
