He will grow up driving it among other things so hopefully he will know how to drive it by the time he is 16. Plus the car will be 20 years old by then. I will be needing a new toy...

holy crap. thats a nice car. but you live in sunny socal. cars there last forever. even in san fran there are 20 year old cars running perfectly. here in snowy, salty, rainy, wash. d.c. cars dont last as long.

i've always wanted an old mercedes. i've wanted to take an old mercedes and put a new honda motor in there. then give it to my mom.

there's just something about those old Mercedes cars that still gets me. Mine's in serious need of a paint job (original paint, mostly garaged).

That 4.5 V8 rumbles when you start it up. Although, the 9 mpg isn't all that much fun.

which is why i want to put a new honda motor in there. something low maintenance, easy to repair, everyone works on them, and decent gas mileage.

maybe someday.

I ended up buying a few thigns for my 8 as well. So far it has gotten a Borla cat back as well as an AEM intake. I am wavering on whether or not to jump into Tein basics or just go with springs utnil I can save for tein flex, there are a few other things in the mix but gotta wait for them I think for now.
