They should be charged with reckless endangerment.

What many don’t realize is that this thing is basically a Chevette. Same T-body platform. The Chevette even used the same Isuzu-sourced engine design.

Holy collision damage Batman!

Hey, where did the rest of the white stripes go? Are they still on the smashed hood? The couple of examples of this model I have seen both had a black grille with no stripes. Front end damage perhaps? CP because of the mystery.

Seems legit.

As soon as is becomes so long that they run out of landmass.

It’s Art, son.  Most people won’t get it, quite unlike those of us who pretend we do.

Wait... they’re cleaning up the desert *before* the race?

Eat your heart out F1, this is racing. 

And you’re not even Swedish anymore!

No bet. I’m firmly on the “life is rare” side of the argument, and that the distances between stars is so great combined with the limits of the speed of light that they will never visit us, and we will never visit them.  You can speculate all you want, but the evidence to date is not encouraging.

The point was more to establish that well-maintained high mileage cars do in fact exist, and represent a sweet spot for lower-budget car collectors as ’80s and ’90s cars (which were much more capable of passing 200,000 miles than anything from the ’60s or ’70s) become classics.

To your first point, I think that kind of wear has more to do with age in years than age in mileage. (Not entirely, but largely.)

So if I’m reading correctly, the hot take from this article is “It’s ok to buy a high mileage car if it’s meticulously maintained”. Astonishing 

Dont forget the E350 van..... same as the Merc E350.

I got tired of having constant contact with my Mercedes mechanic, so I sold everything except the 1966 Cab because it never needed anything. Then I found that low-mile yellow mistress above and got another damn German car. Cue the regular visits to the mechanic again. Yes, I don’t want any more German cars, but they…

As a lifelong German sedan devotee, I have to admit: I find the current mid-sized crop from Hyundai/Kia and Honda to be awfully compelling.

I’m still waiting for this to become a real course

That WOULD make a good grill! Find me some burgers.

Sadly, I don’t have a place for 3 cars so I can’t have a W123; however, I do have space for a W123 grill and a W123 clock though.
