      @@kashiomodashio6455 My dream car when I was 14 was a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S 600. Back then there was nothing that even came close. My MBUSA website build came to $140,000 with a $5,000 gas guzzler tax which all seemed like a lot to my 14 year old mind. Now I’m searching for a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S 500 Grand Edition if there are any available for sale. The C140 CL 500 or 600 are also favorites of mine. Some say that the W140 and C140 are the last of the “real Mercedes” models before the bean counters took total control.
