No, I don't care about that stuff at all..

and I'm mostly just a kid too, you gotta figure that the average age of a mercedes benz owner is like 45, that's twice my age.. I'm just saying out of respect for the company and the history of the cars it just shouldn't happen. great if they're saved from the crusher, bad if they're identity is confused for something they're not. because they( those stanced cars) are talked up like its all special. all over the net. I'm not so frustrated with the fact that it happens, just that people think air ride is something special and unique and should be put on everything with wheels. its a poor excuse for a real lack of interest in actual automobile culture. when they've clearly ignored all the other things that make the cars special.

Those are great shots AL, that's exactly what I was talking about.

I believe part of the irritation is the post is in the "Vintage" section. If it were over in the "Body work" or "Detaining" area it would be better received.

As for myself, "It's your money and your car". Just don't park it beside my "vintage" '74 undergoing restoration. You know, the one with faded, peeling clear coat, cracked dash, repaired lower rocker panels painted primer gray which one of these days when it cools down I'm gonna color blend into the original color after I replace the windscreen seals.

Eeewwww! I never said that!

I suggest if you're going to edit a quoted post you should make it clear that you have altered the original post.

(although you did capture the intent)

Sorry. I hope this is taken with humor.
