I was referring to the giant doors l specifically. In terms of driveability, these are excellent cars. I was always shocked by how spry my Continental was. And that was front wheel drive...

Customized by a shop called “Back Alley Customs” with accent windows that are clearly...well...I’ll say mushrooms but we all know that’s not what they really are.

That is an offensive stereotype of S600 owners and I must take umbrage, good sir.

It doesn’t work...the lady folk don’t know what it is or bother to notice. To them, it’s just another big old four door.

So you’re saying its the perfect car for poaching little old rich ladies?

Assuming the “date-ee,” as it were, knew anything about cars, this would be an easy challenge. Car people look for badges. They’ll see an “M” or pick out the “AMG” on the trunk lid. They would know what a kompressor model is. Personally, lord knows I just want somebody who will see my V12 badges without them being…

I know this is slightly off topic, but does anybody know what the alternative sides of the German diesel market have been like in recent years?

Although the Designo option package becomes more mainstream with every passing year, early Mercedes models equipped with the exclusive color combinations and special leather interiors are exceedingly rare. This 2000 ML 320 is a common ML to begin with, nobody ever got excited about a soggy V6 first Gen ML. But one…

I remember how criminal the acts performed on that Roller were...

I’ve got the exact same dent in mine! Not nearly as severe of course, but some jealous plebians put one hell of a crease in my fender just in front of the passenger door. Was on the car when I bought it, took off the V ftom the “V12” on the passenger side too. One of the many reasons it was so cheap I’m sure.

Yes.

I’ve never been able to actually commit to the desire for a modern convertible, and believe me I’ve flirted with the idea of an 06’ Sebring Limited many times because I would want a convertible that actually seats 4 adults. I figure the S600 convertible will come in sometime in 2017, so you can bet come 2027 I’ll be…

SHHHHHHHHH! First rule of ABC club is we don’t talk about the pump! If you talk about the pump and it hears you it will be displeased! If it is displeased who know what it will do!

...because although boring cars don’t deserve your time, really good ones are worth paying for.

USS Cyclops.

You know my pain...I wanted distronic, a wood and leather steering wheel, and veltilation on the front seats. Good luck with that in a 500.

Well, you should have seen the oil that came out of my M275. I don’t think it had been changed in 17,000 miles. Oil filter was degrading, the o-rings were brittle. And that probably means nobody has been following the 30K mile service interval on the ABC fluid either. They’re tanks if the previous owner was doing the…

And owners are scared for their sanity!

ABC (Active Body Control) fluid hydraulic suspension is standard on the S600 (and S55 AMG as well). Airmatic is standard on everything else.

I BOUGHT A 2004 W220 S600 AND ONE OF THE WHEELS IS SAGGING ALREADY! OH GOD THE HUMANITY! I DON’T REGRET THE DECISION YET BUT I’M SURE I WILL!
