This will either be a fun pairing or a total disaster

Right, MB has upgraded bolts/studs available for the fix. If only the guy had known there was a potential issue beforehand, a small investment would’ve saved a LOT of grief.

It *is* a unicorn.

NP.

My current DD is a 2013 Mazda5 (with 6speed manual of course) that I immediately turbocharged when it was still brand new (under 5k miles).

Just sounds like you don’t own any eating utensils.

C’mon man, show Isaiah Thomas some respect.

Do you look both ways before you travel through a green light? My guess is “no”.

have you heard the sirens in NYC? they sound really weird when you’re outside but distinctly “move”. But it doesn’t matter what car I’m in from a Camry to an S Class, you always hear them.

I think it’s a U.S. 280 that’s been Cossie’d. If you looks at the pic of the instrument panel it shows a U.S. cluster and an “unleaded fuel only” plate by the light switch. It also has U.S. headlamps, but I don’t think they sold these over here with wind up windows and cloth seats. Maybe a Canadian car?

Um, this car is a Euro. Euro bumpers, Euro model, Euro spec (and a Cossie motor dropped in obviously, but we can skip over that). That’s what makes the car notable. It also doesn’t matter that it wasn’t available from Mercedes in the US, as you could import a car from Europe brand new in 1983.

right? seriously HONDA you missed your mark, NSX for 200k? can you imagine a good driving RWD NSX for 70k-100k?

It’s also insanity to choose a car even uglier than the STI at twice the price.

Drive in reverse

Martin Brundle said that the 190E had one of the best chassis ever fitted to a four-door saloon.

This era of Mercedes were milled from solid billets of chrome-vanadium steel. The styling is the epitome of understated elegance. Maintained properly this will out last cockroaches and my dear namesake.
