Since Elon is already in the space launch business, can we start jettisoning trash into the sun now?

don’t they normally just ship them out to 3rd world countries and have children strip them down to their components?

Bristol or Texas Motor Speedway during a NASCAR event in the 90s? You have all the race cars, the transport vehicles, the people who have their motor homes in the center area, and all the 150+ thousand fans who drove trucks or cars with their ‘murican V8s to the parking lot.

I have no way of confirming it, but I’d bet that Los Angeles could give you a run for your money against NY. Up until the eco-friendly lifestyle hit huge, you had a bunch of really wealthy people there, fairly tight density, and LA leads the nation in family’s that own more than 2 vehicles, whereas NYC doesn’t have as…

Don’t forget that many pickups, vans, and commercial vehicles also use V8's. I would think that Los Angeles would certainly be a contender since it is a big city with a lot of money and a much worse public transportation system than New York. They have plenty of luxury and sports cars as fleets of trucks, vans, and…

All true, but even these later wiring harness cars had that same boxy carved from granite, everything feels quality appeal as the earlier cars. Whether its true or not, many folk still think that of this era of car. You show this next to a clk and it still appears better overall. Its the “before Chrysler so it must be…

Really? Id like to pick your brain on that. Ive spent a good amount of time with a 95 version of this car and I own a 91 SL. And i cant figure any reason to want the 124 over except maybe that theyre a bit easier to get out of.

Current 124 sedan owner here. I wouldn’t call parts cheap, but they’re not too bad. I’m going to try to do more work myself, but I have been taking it to a local dealer for service in recent years (due to the specialty shops I tried managing to mess up 2 systems for every one the fix.) Pricewise, it’s expensive, but…

You clearly don’t and have never owned one from this era.

Parts are cheap, BMW parts are significantly more expensive and you can google every single repair.

The W124 E class was one of the last engineered Mercedes cars where price was not a concern. If you have ever driven one you would know, it’s like they are carved from a block of steel. 300,000 miles there just getting started, two concerns, the straight 6 likes to blow head gaskets if overheated so do the cooling…

I put NP because you simply don’t see these around anymore, but you are right, cheap European car is anything but...

Benzes and BMWs of this vintage have firmly ensconced themselves into DIY-and-internet-parts-store territory.

Small production numbers along side a percieved quality keep the prices high. I personally dont get it but then again some people will shove out huge money for a convertible G class as well.

Because back seat?

So first off, NP if were going on market value. Everything to do on this car is a matter of man if you really care to fix it so long as those hydraulics, soft top bits, and cabrio specific parts are in order.

I got a bit surprised at the sight of them hooning the Vulcan, LMP, and One-77. And then it made sense since they can fix their own cars.

The Russian-language manual and the “MMZh” plate suffix definitely scream USSR government spec, though not necessarily KGB. According to Russian Wiki, these Tatras were delivered to the USSR for “KGB needs, militia (police) use in large cities, and for mid-level bureaucrats who were better than a Volga GAZ-24 but not…

I daily a Jag and can confirm. I just tell myself that that’s just how British cars prove that they’re hand built.

But what about noises from creaky, poor interior build quality? You can muffle outside noises all you want but it’s that squeaky panel that’s gonna drive everybody insane.
