  • Car Chronicles: “This 1989 Mercedes-Benz W124 230 CE is a Catalyst for Growth & Transformation"
    Presented by Kick-Start Coffee
    Diego Dela Cruz recounts his emotional story of how restoring his 1989 Mercedes-Benz W124/C124 230 CE became a catalyst for growth and transformation during a distressing time in his life. While his car underwent its transformation, Diego saw parallels between the old "busted out piece of metal" and his own tumultuous life. As the car was "brought back to life," so was he.

    Thanks for sharing your story. I agree with the part where you said the car is like a reflection of you, as it got better you also got better. I'm an owner of 1991 R129 and do all the work myself, it's satisfying and motivates me to do better.

      I get the same feeling from working on my 91 S124, wish you the best in your journey with your R129!

    I love 124's to death. They are beautiful looking, yet with a hint of menace imo. Handsome bastards.

    I tell this to my kids, the cars of 1980-1999 had a different soul, compared to the newer cars, which feel like an appliance.
