To all,


I recently got a hand-me-down an '85 190E 2.3. Before that I was driving a 1990 Honda Accord, and thought that it was the sweetest ride: Comfy, roomy and looks great. It all ended when I crashed my Honda. ( Boy, was I pissed) So anyhow, on with the Benz, it took some time for me to get accustomed to it, but once that was out of the way, it all got better right there.

The handling of the Benz was way better then the Honda, even tho the Benz is 14 years older than the Honda. Amazing, eh? This Benz is a 5-speed, so I was able to use that to stir my soul, and to my surprise, it rode quite well. At times, I couldn't tell if the engine was on! And this car had 235k miles on it!


Before, I was doubting the Benz, because I thought it'd make me look old, (I'm only 20 by the way) and that it was expensive to maintain. To my surprise, it's not that much more expensive to maintain than the Honda, but you get much more quality parts and reliability. As it turned out, I stood out among my friends, who had brand new supped up Integras and Civics as being the guy who has the most class. After driving their car and driving my car, I'd have no second thoughts about my Benz. It is one absolute awesome car!


I do truly agree that MB is one of the best cars out there. You do pay a little more, but that little more takes you a long way, looking good, riding nice and being protected by one of the safest cars.


My friends sometime clown on how old my car is, and how they'll smoke my car. I just challenged them to a head-on collision. I know I'll walk out of there.

Happy driving,
vu
