I’m so dead serious it’s not even funny.

I’m an on-set data manager in the film/TV business. We still shoot the majority of our TV content in 1080 because the higher resolution stuff is way more expensive to manage, transfer, and process. On seasonal shows, the camera package rental rate differences for 4k capability is exponential. At the end of the day,…

You’re not getting me. I wasn’t trying to slag ICON or imply they don’t have every right to charge what they do (I think they’re awesome!).

The wagon would likely be rarer, for sure.

Why is it irrelevant to ignore what it would cost you to do this swap?

that’s what i’m saying. i’d like to think that not all guys doing these swaps are amateurs. you can do good work in your own garage.

True. Also, I think a lot of Jalops around here are forgetting how much used cars have appreciated over the last year or two. Just try to find a good S54 manual, in wagon form, for less.

Completely this. If you buy some black or grey generic luggage piece then you damn well better put identifiers on it. Not doing that is just amateur like the people that can’t use the self check in, dicking around at screening, or getting in a stupid line when assist-board is announced.

“It may seem easy to write Woodrum off as ignorant of finance, or budgeting, or the car buying process.” That nonetheless doesn’t change the reality that he is.

If I recall correctly it was his hip giving out that caused him to give up driving the benz. At one point after he passed I made a…

Thank you sir. Finally somebody gets the point of these. I salute you my good friend.

My uncle’s father had a 50s benz 200 series that he drove up till he couldn’t drive it any longer in the late 90s a few years before he passed, I believe it had well north of 500k miles if not close to 750k miles last I heard. Pristine British racing green over tan interior with a inline 6 and a four on the tree, he…

Nice! If you’re cruising the roads of SE VT (Windham & Windsor Counties) in the next 2 months, maybe I’ll spot you. Most likely I’ll be on a motorcycle, but regardless of what I’m running, a classic of any sort usually catches my attention.

Keeping Vermont beautiful! (And hopefully keeping those in the garage during road salt season.)

That is one WONDERFUL car!
