Retire the car and find something else. So, anyone know of a decent W140 or maybe an E class, something of that sort?

Thanks. Just clamped it off with a big hemostat I had in the tool bag, we'll see if that helps.

Re: [MBZ] S500 Ouchies
Agreed. Newer = better for sure. Thanks for pointing out the break between 97 and 98. Not a lot in the wiki or forums on BW about that. The boy is busy catching up on school work and I have an HOA meeting in about 30 minutes, but I’ll have a chat with him later tonight and see what he thinks. He certainly won’t look a gift horse in the mouth no matter what, but I would prefer for him to have some input into what he drives, as he’ll be more into it if he has some choice. Otherwise I would put him in a Ford Focus until he’s out of college…. grin Dan On Jul 16, 2015, at 5:48 PM, Kaleb C.
