You lucky f*ck.

I am SURE this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek right? SOME plates are great code for gear heads that won’t mean a thing to a non-gear head. I also use my personalized plates to contribute (even though it’s not much) to the state’s environmental resource (hence the name of the plate design) fund... It’s one of many…

Damn. That will get you hurt in WI, AND in IL. Ouch.

THIS. Funny.

I think it was a much more rare option on the 1992's... both years it was only available on the 2.6, then in 1993 they did a 2.3 (SE or LE, can’t remember) that was forest green metallic and tan leather interior (base seats, not Sportline) with rear headrests, and the updated 8-hole alloys that were standard on the…

After recently dropping United as one of my two preferred airlines for business travel, cough *reaccommodate-gate*, I started using American more often. (I am generally on anywhere from 4-8 flights per week)

oh and regarding the 300E... you could factory order the cars, and many did. You can still totally custom order your M-B today in fact. The brown was not a custom color, it wasn’t available as a standard catalog color in the US. Most brown interior cars in Europe had a patterned cloth, not M-B Tex, but it was…

Nope, it was a VERY rare option. They had a badge on the fender, and they imported around 700 of them in this configuration 1992-1993, the 1993's had a black and red option too. I liked the tan/wood! Here are more shots... it even had the bucket shaped BACK seats, but for some reason I can’t find my images of them.…

I can confirm these prices, and take it up a notch, sadly. Last summer en route to Denver, a semi threw up some debris during a pretty epic storm on the plains. Bullseye on my E250's right headlight. Since it was storming, water obviously got into the headlight unit, which fried not one but TWO computer…

““OM603 straight six diesel ... does not share that engine’s venerable reputation for durability and longevity.”

I actually had a W201 190e 2.6 Sportline with TAN seats no less...

I should have been more clear in my wording... agreed, the 2.3-16 and 2.5-15 (as well as Sportline) did have leather. I meant the standard cars.

Thanks, it was special order apparently (in the US)... not in the catalog. Even the dash is brown.

Thanks man... you should check it out in person since you’re local... it’s in brilliant condition!

you are correct. the turbo E23 was a 745i

@Graverobber... NOT MB-Tex... that’s the real deal leather in this car. MB-Tex has pleats that go all the way to the seat edges, leather seats have smooth panels under your knees. Below is a pic of my W124 with MB-Tex for reference.. this applied to the 300-class (E-class) and the S-Class. Not sure I have ever seen a…

HATE these. SO slow. So random. I’d rather walk, but they don’t give you that option.

Newark is a pit.

I fly Delta most often, and travel every week for work, usually 4-6 flights a week. I fly through ATL often, and I know to always book my flights with enough “cushion” for the sometimes extensive walk from one Terminal to another. However, the people there are actually pretty friendly, there’s lots of food choices,…

The hatch was actually not so bad! I totally forgot that they had those. And, proving the point of the meh car...
