    Coolest part about the w140 and the Maybach is that the Maybach re-used the front subframe from the w140 since it was just so well-made. Imagine something designed in the 80s being re-used for the early 2000s.

I didn't expect you to pull up to the car I just got out of an hour ago in my garage. Total 3 in my life. 1999 S320 LWB daily driver 180k miles. Pulled a nail out of the monoblock tire today. When my 1999 S500 grand edition came with a tick I thought the car was done too but it was easily sorted and now has been a great driver as well 124k miles. Seeing this video gave me a new found love for both of my cars. Thanks for your content hoovie. I can attest that 'blackbird' will be extremely faithful.

    One thing I have learned on a lot of cars is that a lot of the time it is much cheaper to rebuild idler pulleys. So many of them contain standard size bearings, so if you have a suitable tool or press, you can very often simply press the old bearing out, and press a new one in. But don't cheap out on the bearing that you buy - stay away from cheap chinese bearings from ebay for example. Buy a good quality bearing and it will still be so much cheaper than replacing the whole idler pulley with a OEM quality part. This is especially so when it comes to the more exotic cars.

    The big quality dip started with the W140 facelift actually. Also they overdid everything after they found out what BMW have done with the E32. There is a 15 minute video with the chief BMW engineer Wolfgang Reitzle which touches on the W140 development and how they scrapped 2.5 years of development to start over. Hence the postponing of W140 from 1989 to 1991

    This is one of the reasons I watch your channel, details and breakdown of specific cars, and for this time with the comparison to the Maybach. No heartache, just facts, video and your pleasant, honest voice. I have heard you talk about Autotempest before but I am not looking for a car; I have THE ONE. But I will look at Autotempest and see if they have a place where Porsche RestoMod-Outlaw might be sold and see who my competition is. I wish this company was around 6 years ago when I was looking for an '86 Porsche Carrera. Getting what I wanted back then I had to go to all of these sites and make kind of a spreadsheet for all of the components, mileage, cost, how long it had been for sale, etc. What a fking sink hole of wasted time. That was all there was. You would have to be insane to do anything like that with Autotempest around. Not sure if it's free or costs, but any costs would be worth EVERY penny. That's all from the West Coast to Middle America. "A garage without a Porsche is just a dark hole" -Walter Rohrl - Porsche Development

    I think that was one of the best generation it was definitely the last good reliable generation of Mercedes. I have a 2000 Mercedes W202 C230 Kompressor and I love it. I really want to get an S class of the same generation. Between 98 and 2000 is the best years of that generation because before that they used the horrible biodegradable wiring in the wiring harness. And it would disintegrate over time . But I absolutely love my C 230 Kompressor and I plan on adding a S class like hoovies in the future.

    J turns. That's what we call the Rockford turn. Been doing them since I was 17-18. Not for a while now though. You can get good at them.

    Yeah I do enjoy the different sound of a substantial door. I think allot of people miss the real point of the "soft close" doors. Yes you don't have to close it as hard but it also is closing tighter than without the assistance. There was a car audio shop in a store I worked in and just the trunk pulldowns made a huge difference. Friends dad bought a f150 years ago when they did a restyle one of the things was a quieter cabin. First complaint door has to be slammed to hard to latch, fix was to loosen it. Which made it not as quiet...
