Default Possibly the worst Corvette "commercial"

This is so bad, I had to post. I hope this was a 16 year old doing a school project

Shaky camera, wanna be Z06, non Corvette engine sounds, same exact engine sounds used over and over

I don't like the face of the girl on the road but as they say, "Cover face, fire base" so I'd make room for her and have a 2 on 1.

I do like the W210 Mercedes ad though.

I have a W210 and a W220 with a 4matic. That should double my chances of a hot mistress, right?

Besides the 75-76 Corvettes, I consider the C6 the lamest looking Corvette ever produced. I wanted a Z06 with the LS7 so bad, but I could not ever go and get one because it's looks.

Things changed when I saw the C7Z06

Based on that commercial you should have one smoking hot wife too!! I'm guessing that is her in your AVI?

Put it this way. All things equal, I think many would claim Quasimodo looks better than Fabio in his prime if Quasimodo had a billion dollars and Fabio was broke.

That is the fixer upper that I got for the wife. I can't afford new cars when you consider the depreciation that they take and I can get MBs fixed for anywhere between $40-50 an hour. I was young and dumb and bought myself a 91 Firebird new and I have been kicking myself every since.

No, that was Jenna Jameson in her prime. I updated to Penny Mathias but someone requested Jenna.

Wow! Wish I had that hook up on a MB tech for that kind of money. Even just for diagnostics and I turn the wrenches.

Are parts a killer? I was thinking about a MB as a project before I got the Vette. Might still do it once I get the vette where I want it.

Well, you have an MB, you get to know the MB people. Start out at the dealership and see who is good. Same with anything. WGAS about the SA? All he does is write what I tell him anyways. I talk to the tech I want, we discuss the process and he tells me what needs to be done and I tell the SA. After that, you can see if he is amenable to side work. Some are, some are not.

Not really. Here is the thing. I have an 01 Ford Excursion and replaced a couple of ICMs and other small sensors. On my MB, I haven't replaced much in electronics so they are a little more but they last longer and work out better. Obviously you need to get the FSM for MB otherwise known as the EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog) and WIS (Workstation Information System). You can get their diagnostic tool which later on latches onto the OBD2 port but the machine is loaded onto a notebook. IIRC it is called SD Connect and used to be SDS (Star Diagnostic System). I don't have that since it is about 800 for a Chinese system on ebay that boots up in Chinese and you launch SD Connect in English.

All said, I can get parts for my 99 E300 Turbodiesel with 470K on the clock much easier than the C4.

W219s are nice for touring and allow you to get on it a little
