This was at a local car show last weekend. I told the guy that I grew up with a 190, so had a good conversation. It's a 220, but he put a V8 in the front seat. He has fun getting reactions from purists. He has done sacrilege with a few cars. These were very common, used as taxis in Europe, you can't get the money out of a restoration, unlike a 190SL or Gullwing. So I think it's fun!

matthijsgrit Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 WTF indeed! Inside it's kinda like a dragster, driving from where the backseat was.

The owner has a grey ZZ Top beard. The blogger didn't get any more information than me. Good to see he drives it over 100 miles, Flagstaff is north and Phoenix south of me. The YT video is extremely annoying. 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSheep214 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 For the love of God.... why do they try to turn Mercedes and other imports into hot rods? They’re built to be nice automobiles, not hot rods. The lowering the stance, high performance engines, narrow tires on fat rims isn’t pleasing to the eye. Leave them as they are. Just another attempt to be luxury ricers. Did I mention I hate ricers? LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should take that up with AMG and every other semi-in-house Euro-tuner since the dawn of time...like Abarth, Autodelta, etc. Factory hot-rod Bentley, anybody?

On this side of the pond mercedes are taxis and cars middle managers buy because they think they have made it, even the sls and slr lose lots of value when they leave the store so you can get a 2 or 3 year old merc for the same price as hot hatch. while you guys have recent mustangs and camaros as your cheap rwd cars we have mercs and bmws as ours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly.... a 2022 Chevy Camaro can set you back upwards to $64k brand new. I hardly would call that cheap. Even the Ford trucks can run as high as $60-$80k depending on the package you get. Even the new Ford Mustangs can run upwards to &47k. BTW... just for laughs.... y’all got it all wrong..... your European automobiles have steering wheel and the wrong side, drive on the wrong side of the road and y’all talk funny!
