I am not enamored of the classic center.  They are elitist and do not support 
the owners of the models that made the company money.   If you happen to share 
a part with a more elitist vehicle, you can pay multiples of the value of your 
car to acquire it.  Poop!  We end up at the PnP to source our parts and keep 
the cars on the road, providing unremunerated marketing to the marque, so they 
can pillage our bank accounts when we need a part.  Poop!  Fie on them!

I want my dang tires.  Why am I not allowed to have access to tires that meet 
the design specifications for my car?  Mercedes should endorse and procure a 
tire that meets the needs and design requirements of the cars they built.  I am 
certain there would be ample market for a V rated 14 inch tire at a reasonable 
price.  The drivers of the larger sedans as well as sport coupes of the 1970's 
and early 1980's would buy out any production run of said tires.  We would also 
have a smaller market demand from the Ferrari owners, since they too are in 
need of high speed rubber.
