    I admit that MY 560 hasn't done but 135 cause I don't treat it that way, however I have done 148 in my company owned one between Nuremburg and Erlangen back in 1986. It takes a awhile but it will roll. It also felt like I was doing 80. Quiet and smooth. It was my first opportunity to drive a...

    Ceramic auto coatings, worth the cost?

    My experience with Nitrogen in tires has been in aviation. It's used in all jets and high flying turboprops to prevent any ice from forming in the tires from the extremely low temps - as it would with compressed air.

    We always settle in in the family area and setup on the berm near the vehicle bridge so we can get some sleep. Last year was hilarious with the signs on the fences stating no one was allowed there with a mask. There must have been neatly a hundred mask less people sitting there happy as clams...

    My biggest fear for the Mercedes gas cars is the timing chains. When I initially start both I have the window down a bit and listen for a weird rattling noise. That would be an indication that the timing chain is loose. I'm sure I don't have to tell you what happens when it fails, but for those...

    Our utilization is only 3,000 miles a year. The GLK350 is a 2012 with 27,000 miles and still has a trace of the ''New Car Smell" and still seems to us like it's new. The 560 SEL has a whopping 64,000 and smells inside like an expensive leather purse. I'm about to undertake replacing all the...

    I generally like German cars and by the picture I believe you will know which manufacturer. The one on the right will out live me.
