I saw one of these in person a few weeks ago. They are surprisingly attractive looking cars.

Tommy Lee and Heather Locklear set the bar for this well before he started dating Pamela.

Yeah, the usual standard of writing here.

I find it funny how much people are afraid of owning used German luxury cars. I guess I should be happy because its that very fear that makes their depreciation curve so lovely for me. I’ve been buying beemers and benzes at the 5 year mark for a long time and having a fabulous experience. I get that my experience is…

The VIN starts: WDB124, so... Its a W124. 

Thank you. I’m getting sick of all these articles (in fairness, not just on this site) which act like the uber rich are sitting on giant piles of cash. This article and all of the tax-dodger ones a few weeks ago are like nails on a chalkboard to me.

It’s true, he was called “the richest man in the world” by some measures but his assets aren’t liquid. It’s mostly speculative crypto and his own crazy stock valuation.

Bradley, I don’t agree with this guy’s money and how he spends it, but it’s not fucking weird. It’s just memories, and we all saw this unfold on TV. We all need an outlet for frustration - be it a mural, automotive journalism or having discourse on kinja.

Ford smirking in the corner:

I disagree. I have a w123 and I have a few wheels that have looked good. These are some 16x9 Gottis:

I had a ‘96 SN95 just like this, and I loved every minute of my ownership of it.

LOL wut? Those wheels sucked then and they suck now.

No thanks - you made a Mustang even less desirable to me, and I didn’t think that could happen.  If it floats your boat though, that’s great.

Well, I suppose a ‘bad case’ is still a case.

It does not, and I would also go so far as to argue that the pre-New-Edge (1994-1998) SN95 Mustang in general and its multiple three-spoke wheel offerings in particular...are some of the worst things to happen to the nameplate. I think the number of people who want to see this era revisited on a current…

Most old wheels were bad and only look good in their original context. Putting them on a new car makes them worse. New wheels on old cars can be similarly jarring, but can look nice if they’re in proportion and match the styling of the car.

Yea man, these are far from good looking wheels and the SN95 had other wheel options that were far more attractive. The three spoke polished aluminum option on the V6, the five spoke polished on the GT, and the five spoke polished available on the Cobra are all way way better looking.

I don’t like it, but not for any generational reasons.

no

This has been common in the industry for decades.
