you 'wonder' so you can virtue signal about your 'yotas.

I can’t imagine owning a car that lacks a roof the opens. It would be deal breaker for me.

I'll never NOT own a convertible. It literally is therapeutic.

LS will be last sedan I ever own, and it ain't going anywhere.

Nice! Those wheels are MB, obviously, but not factory stock. That's a '99+.

Great catch, you're right. I thought that was the "sport" badge that goes in that spot on all the rest of them. Looks like that epic V12 badge they had. Have fun maintaining that engine though hahaha. All you have to worry about with the 500 V8 are valve cover gaskets, etc.

600 has special touches, obviously. The dash and all panels are leather. Even the visors, whatever they're called you pull down to block sun.

There are people in my groups with the V12s that have 6 figure mileage, but it cost them a small fortune to get there.

One of my friends bought a 600. They didn't keep it for long...

Yeah, it’s a V12. It is a beautiful car, but I am glad I don’t have to pay for the upkeep.

Hey I'm happy to see these old cars still on the road and running.

Yeah it might be old but if I was broke and had to drive a beater...

It would be a Luxury Beater, oh yeah. Lol.
