I loved this piece! I can certainly relate to Greg; I imagine he and I would get along well as I pull up in my 94 Mercedes E320. Well done!

Should have used FiberFix! :)

So far, I am really digging your articles. And from one old Mercedes lover to another, cheers! I’m a W124 man but would sure love to have an 80's SL for the summertime at some point!

What’s driving me nuts so far is that will all of the “streamlining” that happened with the Music app, I haven’t found any way to remove the “recently added” music that shows up on the app’s home screen. I wish that I could just go directly to my own library when the app opens without any extra clicks.

Yep, Mobil 1 0W-40 is the only reason I go to Walmart a couple of times a year. No matter the sale, it is always less than $25 there. One could spend almost double that at a typical parts store, pep boys, advance, autozone, etc.

That’s not crosstalk, it’s by design. My 95 Mercedes E320 wagon does the same thing. If you have your front wipers on and then put the car into reverse, the car assumes that it’s raining (or otherwise) and turns on the rear wiper so that you can see where you’re backing up. I think it’s quite genius, especially for a…

As part of Trump’s plan, we will all be able to buy the cheese subscription every year.

The 3rd row was one of the main reasons I purchased a W124 estate as well! I love my 124’s. Sadly, the undercarriage on my wagon has rotted out to the point that I've had to take it off the road and I'm parting it out. I want another one really bad but there are so few nice examples left.

I park way out in most lots and in an end spot whenever possible. I just hug the curb, as others have suggested. I don’t ever double park or participate in any other parking lot douchebaggery. I think part of the issue here is that it was a BMW. As stated, BMW double-parking a-holes are such a cliche’ that it makes…

The W124’s last model year in the states was 1995. The W210 was created for the 1996 model year. And yes, the quality compared to the W124 is abysmal as well as the styling, in my opinion. I love my 124’s!

If they make it in a sedan form, how would that be different than an A4/S4 sedan?

I drive a 1994 Mercedes E320 and my plate says "MBW124", in salute of the greatness that is the W124 platform that ran from 86-95. Nobody understands it, but that's ok with me. My car and I both had a birthday on Wednesday, my 38th, and it's 20th! I cleaned it up nice nice as a celebration :)

This car sure is a pretty one, but Mercedes went through some really dark times during the period between 1997-2003 in my opinion. Their upper end offerings such as this one still had some nice design details and reliability could generally be fine, but C-Class and E-Class vehicles were a big no-no during the late…

The 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 is a great one to have on the list, IMO. I drove a 93 ES and then a 92 Diamante LS for a period of about 7 years and always lusted after the late model 3000GT VR4's I would see pop up now and then. The Diamante from that period shares the same 6G72 engine, which aside from the valve…

I love Faith No More now just as much as I did in 91! Epic is actually my least favorite album and Angel Dust, King for a Day and Album of the Year are excellent. When they announced the big "getting back together" thing some years ago now, I really hoped they would get back into the studio, but so far, nothing new.…

What's that little bump?

I love my (not quite as old) Merc. I've had it going on 3 years and it has been wonderful!

That trunk/taillight design has new Corolla/Camry written all over it! Gag!
