The 3-valve per cylinder thing makes me say ML as well.
That model needs to jump into the MB and drive it to a JackInTheBox to get some food. She looks hungry.

thanks tone!
Here she is...
You gave up the VX for a car? :confused:
I'm... shocked. :eek:
Okay, okay... you're kidding? Right? C'mon, show us what it really is...
We're waiting... Impatiently, I might add. ;)
What dribble about your mistake...ha! ;)Quote:

Not a car? Unitized body = station wagon. :p
Moab? Not for a while yet, Uwharrie is about as far as I want to go until the support rig is sorted out. Getting an eye for Tellico too. ;)Quote:

Aw, cmon Tone. That aint you. Wider tires, large rotors, panted calipers.... big deal.... I still see those all over around here..... with soccerball decals on the tailgate. :p
Now, if you had of gone G Class, with that AMG goodness.... then you would be talking. I am currently looking at a silver one here. Discontinued, so I think I am gonna haggle a bit. Kinda reminds me of the purchase power with the VX. ;)
Gelandewagens RULE! ;) Not too mention they could pass for the twin of a 1st-Gen Trooper. Except they've got a soft-top SWB model and turbo-diesels galore here in the US.Quote:

Hopefully Tone's next shocker isn't going to be about a "special" operation he's been saving for! :eek:Quote:

Hey Tone,
Welcome to the Mercedes family. I've been waiting for a crossover friend. I sure do miss my VX though. Still haven't found out who bought it and if it has a good home. Mercedes assured me that it would be fine when I traded her , but I think they just wanted my 50 Grand... lolololll..
