One of those new models that could get would be the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabrio, a clear rival for the Bentley Continental GTC (the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé shares approach, but the price is much higher). We speak therefore of a luxury convertible, large size, with enough room for four passengers are comfortable.

The idea, in fact, is not new to Mercedes-Benz. A few years ago the brand introduced the Mercedes Ocean Drive Concept , which was very close to reaching production. The difficult part of this rumor is to fit the role of Mercedes-Benz CL , which shares many elements with the class S, and that would be a good platform for a convertible like this.

I DID buy my wife a diamond wedding ring, but I hope she does not read this blog post….or she will want one (:.

His car costs about $4.1 million US dollars to build and he will charge you $1,000 just to touch it!

OK, get back in your 1989 Honda hatch back and head to work!

I have a 1984 Mercedes 190 E that has been sitting outside on the driveway for more that 3 years. I had changed the oil and filter just before. what should i do to get this car running. It is a stick shift. 4 forward and 1 reverse. thank you kindly.

Love and Peace June

Hey there June,

3 years is a long time to sit up….and I have a feeling it will not just start right up. usually when cars like this come to my shop we have to do the following

1. install a new battery
2. remove the gas tank, flush out the old fuel and install new fuel
3. remove the spark plugs and add a small amount of oil into the cylinders so no damage occurs when we try to start the engine. crank the engine over once or twice then install new spark plugs
4. crank the engine over and pray that it starts
5. check all under hood fluids and remove the wheels to inspect the brakes
6. test drive the vehicle

It is not uncommon to spend 1 full day of work to get to step 6, which can mean $800-1000

Blessings,

Austin Davis
