[MBZ] Double whammy

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

We had a double whammy in okie land this evening. Literally had a tornado in 
the process of spinning up heading directly for new okie acres Costa plenty. I 
watched the spinning mass headed right for us. It then all the sudden got hot 
like and oven like happens when you are fixing to get blown away by a tornado. 
The mass passed over the house but could have dropped down at any second. We 
then got hit with the hail core which was not too bad. At the same time there 
was a tornado headed in the area of our other house. It was a pretty good size 
tornado on the ground that passed about half a mile from the other house.

Well you are an idiot unless you find a bigger idiot than you if you think you

Re: [MBZ] This is half tempting -- 1995 MERCEDES BENZ SL 500 $2625

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

I think I'll go take a look at it.  I don't really like that model but 
mama made some mention not long about about a "sports car" which I took 
to mean a convertible of some sort.  If I could get it for beater money 
it could make some sense to at least get the top working, if other 
things aren't too bad.  Obviously brakes and tranny and engine aspects 
too, are there other things to consider that are specific to this model?

THE VEHICLE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THE TIME OF
YOUR CALL, BUT SOLD WHEN YOU GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE
HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS ON OUR LOT A DAY

Soo ... what I'm reading here is the car in the picture is from a
*reputable* dealer in another *country* that they've taken from facebook,
and when I arrive it "Sold just minutes ago, Sir. But I got one here at a
price that just cuts me own throat."

If it up to me, I would buy a "new" S class for $3000, drive it for a year,
donate it to one of those charities that accepts used cars, and  buy
another S class.  It would have to pass inspection, and I wouldn't put a
CENT into it other than fuel and basic maintenance.

that goes without saying.  Toadas get rave reviews just by saying toada.

However the toadas are also mechanized electronic gadgets. 
Throwaways.  Some are less than $100,000 but they are still throwaway

Not really. I doubt that there is another car as complex as the current S
