Lord, won’t you loan me a Mercedes Benz?
So, I took Klaus back to the body shop today to have his peeling paint issue resolved. Upon arrival, I was anticipating the ‘little Mazda’ they told me that I’d be driving while the repairs took place. However, when my ride pulled up, I was greeted by this:
“I’m really sorry…we’re going to have to give you the Mercedes,” says the employee.
“Oh, no…it’s fine. Really,” I retorted.
*puzzled look*
“It’s really old…” he added as he handed me the keys.
“I know!”
You have no idea how excited I am to be driving this 1984 190E. Sure, the radio doesn’t work. And it’s slow. And creaks if you do anything. And cruise control is a cruel joke. It has amazing leather seats, though, and undeniable, timeless style. It screams class…or at least Eurotrash. Either way, I love it. I took it for a joyride tonight and had such a blast twisting through the back country roads, rear-driven tires squealing. The first time I’ve gone driving just to drive since gas topped $2/gallon. I’ve missed it.
looks just like the topaz!
if you don’t believe me, ask my mom. she said the same exact thing.
let’s race…in our old, square cars!
It even looks like they have the same wheel covers!
She will have you know that her tire adornments are actually cast steel wheels.
Oh really? Yeah, I guess they arent exactly the same anyways…
hahahah
what a dramatic image!
lovin it
(only the great late topaz was a 4 door)
Yeah, I know it was a sedan, but I really liked this “OFFICIAL CAR OF THE APOCALYPSE” thing.
It does kinda scream “official vehicle of the Antichrist,” doesn’t it?
