Best car?


Forrest Gump 9

Recommended Posts

Just wondering, in your opinion what would be the best car (THE ONE CAR YOU MUST HAVE!! HAPPY NOW!!)

 

Some people considered the 1990-1994 Mercedes 500E is the best Mercedes ever made. Here is some interesting stuff about it

To me, the GMC Typhoon is the best car I've ever had.

You should of got a vasectomy mod before you did anything. :o

 

Hehe, I would once I've completed my army. Oh, incase you wondering, I want eleven children (a soccer team, football team, or two basketball teams). Also with eleven children I don't have to do jack, just get on welfare and be done for life.

A car I always admired, but have never found affordable, was the Grand Mercedes (also known as the Mercedes 600, or Mercedes Grosser, or Mercedes W100). These are for sale at astronomically-high prices in pristine condition, or just moderately-high prices for the "money-pit" versions. They were made from 1963 through 1981 and were the zenith of German engineering. Complex hydraulics powered the windows, seats, suspension, hood, trunk and even power passenger door operation. When Potter's Mercedes was still in business in Columbus, the service manager told me that the last hydraulic system repair they did on one cost the owner 50k, and that was back in the late 80's.

 

They made a short :rolleyes: wheel base version:

A Pullman version, for when you wanted the party to travel with you:

And of course, a landaulet, because somedays you like the top dropped:

It's my idea of the ultimate in cars, the must-have if you're a rich car guy, a pope, a ruthless dictator, or just Jack Nicholson. Who else owns/owned one?

Coco Chanel, Hugh Hefner, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, George Harrison, Aristotle Onassis, Elvis Presley, Jeremy Clarkson (owns 2), Josip Broz-Tito, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Leonid Brezhnev (owned 3), Kim Jong-Il, Idi Amin, Ferdinand Marcos (had 4). Iran's Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi owned over a dozen of them for his family's use.

 

Also, if you're looking for another one of the best cars ever made, I'm told that a certain Columbus celebrity is disappointed with his new Maybach Zeppelin and wants someone to take over the two-year lease. It's 10k/month, but I'm sure his people will cut you a deal. ;)
