some of you here have probably gone from a luxury car to lux car to lux car, but some of us not so much.

this is what i came from before the W140.
New lights, black steering wheel, cleaned up! DUWW - Crownvic.net

i cant seem to find the before pics, but it was all brown and tan inside and filthy as hell.

outside may have looked ghetto, but the inside was done well. (yes i know the passenger seat leather has a different pattern, you have no idea how hard it is to find black town car seats)

so what was your previous whip!??!

Nice thread comrade!!

I drove a BMW 316i 1996 E36 model for about 4 years before I jumped into my first Benz. In fact, I "swapped" that exact same BMW for my current S320 no cash difference, just straight swap..

When I first got the BMW, it looked so bland. Like an entry level 3 series as it was. When I let it go, it was looking better than it ever did before! I styled it up really nicely if I dont say so myself..

And before the Beemer I had another 7 cars prior..

Heres the thread actually: (It was my first post on Benzworld)

well I buy cars with mechanical issues and sell them few month later since I was on unemployntment and needed to make a buck for kids and bills and college.
Well most recent one that me and my wife mostly drove before this S320 was this Ml320 in pix nice suv black on black 19" wheels from 05 ml, bose stereo, 7k hid's and k&n filters etc. My wife want one again but I wanna try GL55 or GL430
I always dreamed to own one of this w140's S600 since I was a little kid but I couldn't say no to a w140 bigger half of s600 lol and it was only $500 but had front end damage and broken tailight and a dent next to it but still clean title thou and almost 183k miles and still rolling.

These are my noteworthy previous rides -

2009 Fiat 500 Abarth. 180bhp and 900kg = fun:bowdown:

1996 Jeep G.C. 4.0

The Jeep was my DD before the W140.

Ill never sell this car because I love it too much and because it cost me far too much $$$ over the years. Its got 6000K HIDS, new -30mm Eibach pro suspension on new gas struts, polybushed rear subframe, modified induction/air boxes, cat-back SS exhaust with most of the silencers removed and a lot more besides.

Just prior to my current 1999 Grand Edition S500, I had a 1999 S500 Black on Black for four years. She won a fight with a minivan, but insurance totalled her. Prior to that was a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville. The rest are history and unimportant.
