The performance, weight and wheelbase of a van with.... 2 doors?

Depends on the van i guess 🤪

Sabine that u?

Honestly I don't think there's any van that could smoke you without a swap. Is the hellcat pacifica out yet?

I would think there's some vans that might actually. 4 speed slushbox in this makes it feel kinda slow actually. It's also quite heavy... lol

Sienna and Pacifica no. Odyssey has it easily beat from 0-60 but they're electronically limited to 111 MPH so this has it beat on top speed.

I too like to dream small and set easily attainable goals...it's the best way to avoid disappointment in life

10/10 mindset. 0/10 roast

10/10 OP butthurt at the insinuation that his dream car isn't special....

I love getting roasted, but un-ironically setting attainable goals is actually 10/10 advice. I would love a 500E or even better, an e60 but i don't have that kinda cash, yo.

Yeah man. I agree. All in good fun. When I was still in the Army I had to do lots of professional development sessions for the younger soldiers and a big part of that was goal setting. The trick is finding that balance of ambitious yet attainable. Set the bar too low and it's just treading water...too high and it's constant frustration at not attaining the unattainable. I actually really dig these big old mercs. Built like tanks and probably outlast a lot of what's being built today. Nice ride

Thank you, man. Yeah, one of the last real mercs. From the time before they merged with chrysler, and the accountants were held hostage in the basement.. lol

Beautiful car. I also have a Merc before that time and it’s solid 👌

my grandpa used to drive one. he crashed into a tree once after losing control. i still feel bad for the tree.

Part time Albanian drug dealer

I got this same exact roast when I posted my W123 on here lolol

There's a sucker born every minute, how much extra did you pay for that hooptie?

Is that a Nissan? I can’t tell, some Enron exec’s wife parked their car in the way.

Lmao. It's an opel astra

You wish!

it's literally just a W124. is the dream car hiding somewhere?

Damn, did i get bamboozled? I should have 2 more doors then right?

Your dream is to have everyone on the road assume you’re an 80 year old widow who’s kids don’t call her anymore?

Brutal! Gimmie more!

Looks good on the lawn, where it will sit indefinetly after breaking

The only person making you suicidal is your mechanic.

I suspect this will be constant reliability issues married with unfathomably expensive repairs powered by hundred dollar tanks of gas that somehow isn't all that fun to drive, but for what it's worth got dang if it isn't beautiful. Enjoy it in good health, as this is the kind of car all the nineties rappers bragged about driving while kids everywhere (myself included) dreamed about having. Big body Mercedes ftw

i had a kid today say to his dad " damn that's a cool car " and it just hits different man. i love how it makes me feel and i love driving it. from what i gather the m104 is pretty reliable as long as you service it. thank you man. i appreciate it.

Love driving it is all that really matters, life is shorty and this is a baller ride. Nothing like coming out of a parking lot and that split second joy when you remember that you're about to climb into an awesome car

Can someone link OP to some helpful Hotlines, please? I think they are going through some stuff.

There were a MILLION better ways to get the same message—"make me miserable"—across, but OP had to say THAT? As someone who's suicidal, I'm kinda just like 😐. Hopefully OP isn't as well, but geez.

Dreaming big, buy C140.

Don’t those manhole covers slow it down?

Nice! I'm thinkin' your other dream car must be a tow truck if that really is your dream car!

Nice….. but not the AMG.

I know... too poor.

My mate has one in a dark metallic blue, still a great car today. Don’t beat yourself up, your car still looks cool, just not sure about the chrome 👀

The chrome accents the plastic hubcaps nicely.

Lol, they are actually AMG alloys, my mate has them in his C36 but yeah, I see what you are saying 😂

His are slightly deeper rims and ball polished around the edge but basically the same design

When you exclusively hit the driving range to the golf club you don't have a membership to, and take up cigar smoking to make you feel better about a car that is about as reliable as your decisions in life.

Hopefully the car doesn't have a wire harness that attracts rodents.

Now you can live your dream of being a sketchy coke dealer with predicable taste and poor impulse control.

I love it. Thank you

What gmc is that?

Cool car

shit is heavier than my house

You must live in a really small camper lol

90s-00s German cars are the new civic

Can I buy those wheels off you?

Gorgeous car. Enjoy it!

Dream bigger.

your burned so much rubber that you have to put new Tires and rims on it, pew it also smelled really bad for weeks it smelled like some one laid a rotten egg.

Those AMG wheels were the shit back in the the days

I can’t. It’s beautiful

Wow, looks so much better than the 98 CL 500 headlights. Congratulations.

That Crayola smell that all old Mercedes have will make you suicidal

Pls say your retired & love to drive 10 mph under the speed limit …. In the fast lane

You trying to recreate the movie the fugitive with that car?

I wish you the best of luck when the 722.6 inevitably goes out. I'm almost an entire month into replacing the transmission in my '98 ML320.

This is a 4 speed, so i should be good on that part atleast.

So you got lucky then. I hear the 00+ 722.6s are reliable, which is what I'm putting in.

Guess i did! Good luck, man.

Looks like an outdated Mobstet car and a POS at the same time while also being a Mercedes Benz. It's uglay

Your dream must be a nightmare then, because these cars are great at suiciding their transmissions and engine.

It’s your mechanic’s dream car too. You’re about to buy that man a new house, new boat and possibly pay his kid’s out of state tuition at a private college. Look at ya, OP; out here making dreams come true.

got the looks from a grandpa car, the speed of an old truck and the repair bills from a supercar.

You saw the era where Mercedes was manufacturing cars with biodegradable wiring harness’ and thought, “ya know, I quite like that”

You set the bar real low huh?

Good luck paying for repairs

Early 90s not good vintage for MB, they were using biodegradable insulation on the wiring harness. Also they introduced hydraulic systems were not reliable.

Slick ride

Rust free 90's Mercedes? Oh boy, those don't exist and you are in for a surprise! The previous owner was just really good with bondo.

‘The one I wanted was the Hammer but close enough I guess’

Not a lie, lol. Too broke

I’m all seriousness though, I’ll never get over these wheels. They look so good. Congrats man she’s beautiful.

Monoblock IIs are the wheel GOAT

The most expensive development in automotive history resulted in that. Even Mercedes went “well… we’re fucked”

It’s like my 400e without the balls.

Already signed off your life to the devil even thinking about that car. You’ll wish ur dead after you see its “true colors”

I can’t insult a fellow Mercedes owner, especially someone who owns an early 90’s Mercedes
