Imho, swap. The swapped one will be more desirable

Q5 and a tune

Let me know when you want to sell that VR4

That's sounds exotic as hell

That's why I love AMGs, they deprecated like rocks falling

Yes sir, at first I didn't think it worth the difference either, but it's a whole different beast from the 450 to 550. I'm still mad that I passed on this one http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126620

Here's my white elephant. Probably my first and last time try to detail it. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/david_pham2/IMG_2084_zpsx2xei3pp.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/david_pham2/IMG_2078_zpsf4zo8p4w.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/david_pham2/IMG_2079_zpszopvav4i.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/david_pham2/IMG_2080_zpszvim2yty.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/david_pham2/IMG_2081_zps8lda9qy3.jpg

$47k on the forum $43k CR price Give me an offer Porsche is kinda weird on the mirrors. They are mounted differently on each door and on top of that there are USDM & JDM versions. I suspect that the one I have right now are JDM so they look weirder than normal. Just google couple 964 pictures and you'll understand

My 964 is now on BAT http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-porsche-911-carrera-4-3/

Well, that's too but I'm married so I can only quietly enjoy the scenery

I would sell anything in Grandview right now and pocket the money. The only reason you want in Grandview is for the school.

I think that's it. I initially bought all of these cars for myself and now it's just gotten out of hand. Every car I sold I still missed it. I need to learn to let them go.

First of all, this was all my fault. A classic case of a hobby got out of hands. I live in normal house with two cars garage and owning nine cars. My wife still not say anything about my hobby yet, but it's clearly getting out of hands even for my standard. I'm lucky that I have couple friends that already offered me space to park my cars if I need to, but that'll be last resort. So like any car guy out there we all think that sure I can sell it. My toys are desirable people will want them. So far this year I sold one car for an acceptable loss, and two cars that still with me. The first one was my 2012 E63 AMG wagon. The man flew in. I picked him from the airport. Everything checked out. Money transferred. Title signed. He drove off. Deal done! The second one was my 1979 Mercedes 450SLC. I bought this car as a present to myself for my 40th birthday. I built it up the way I wanted it with the Euro and AMG parts. Then a client of mine asked me to sell it to her because she want something cool for her house in the Hampton. I was reluctantly offered my car and we agreed on the price. On the day we close the deal she asked me if the car is good in the snow? I was like, what? Mine you this car is only 60k mile with virtually no rust. She then told me that during the summer months she rent out the house and will be using the car sparingly in the winter when she there. So I kindly tell her to buy a Jeep Wrangler. But once the thought of selling popped in my head I have to sell it. I tried to list on BAT, but unfortunately it did not meet my reserve price. I still have the car and have not drive the car since. The third one is my 1989 Porsche 911 C4. The car is as perfect as a 28 years old car can be. I searched far and wide for one because every self respect car guy must experience the "aircool experience". I really don't want to sell this car, but I can't really stomach myself to park it outside. I only list the car on rennlist and 6speed where the Porsche enthusiasts frequent. As soon as I listed I have five serious parties and two offers. Last Saturday I have an appointment with a 41 years old Dr from Minnesota to come in and check out the car. He sent me a deposit. I picked him up at the airport. He checked out the car, asked all th right questions about the car. On to the test drive, he stalled the car twice getting out of the parking space. He then admitted that HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL CAR!!! And his intention is to drive it 12 hours back to Minnesota. I dropped him back to the airport and drove home. I know I shouldn't refund his deposit but I did. So the car is still with me. It'll be on BAT soon. I really have to give you guys working in the industry a lot of credits. I work in the service industry and I can't imagine myself doing this everyday. Please share your story.

I'm sorry to hear, it's really not worth it. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture and you'll understand why. You can't really fight fire with fire. It's truely a compromising game. And it's 80% her and 20% you. So, if you're really go thru with this, will she continue to let you be a 'bama fan still?

Congrats dude! My wife is dying to have a girl

Here's a Ferrari killer https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/6153951457.html

Turn out we have a whole bunch of Mr2 fans here. I had a 91 Mr2 NA from 96-98 then 93 turbo from 2000-2003. Had big plan for the turbo but like Lauren said, reality set in and I moved on. They are neat for what they are but once crank up it's a basket case. Still love seeing them every now and then.

You know this will repeat in three months right?

Congrats man. Does it have massage seats?

Lol, if it's 5 speed I'll rock it

Reading stuffs like this make me want to drive older cars more and more.

The 450 and 550 essentially have the same drivetrain. Both 4.5 v8 TT. The 550 have real leather interior and it just feel more luxurious. The front and rear bumpers are also more aggressive. 450 just feel cheap imho. I find it's funny that a car enthusiast forum and people always complaint about the cost of maintenance. Do your own maintenance and don't have to worry about cost. I had my E55 AMG the same time I have my Honda Odyssey. The damn Honda cost more to maintain than the AMG. The only thing that cost more with the AMG was cost of rear tires. And that's only because I ditched the Honda PAX shits for conventional tires. Honda PAX was $600 a piece.

I have a white, three blue, and brown. No silver, but five black. Save up a little more and get the gl550, you'll thank me later

Care to clarify why? We have a 2013 GL550 and the wife seems to love it. I know couple people that have the GL in this generation and have 100K + miles trouble free. The few times I drove it, it surprised the heck out of me. It drives really small and hustling down the highway without any hint of its heft.

Since we're on the AC subject. My compressor is leaking freon out the back plate. If the freon is in the system, it blows cold. As soon as the freon is out, it blows warm. Can the compressor repairable?
