I once saw a bowling ball with the same green metal flake finish.......or was that my ex-brother-in-law's bass boat?

I've never been a fan of Mercedes until right now, my choice is made. What a great way to start a Friday!

Pete -
I knew you were a good guy! Thanks for taking the bad taste of Tequila out of so many peoples mouths!
Oops, sorry if I offended any Tequila drinkers, that would not be in the spirit of this thread.
Sandy

Fran, I hope the green car inspires you to lift your game a bit. You know, try to get more Bling into your cars. Drink more Tequila, or something, before hitting the workshop. Do NOT get inspired by the accessories.

Dalton,
I hope never to reach the lofty level that the green car has attained...my life would be over with no more challenges to conquer...

I think you guys are being a bit tame.
I bet you'll have a far more adventurous time with the green and red pair, a bottle of tequila, and a dark alley. | |

Ron the catalyst for the fun and then blank memory will be the Tequila, it really can do wonders, just don't work on your car while drinking it ;-)

Thread drifting, guys - Fred's original question was which would you rather be caught with? Tequila and dark alleys won't save you...

Unfortunately, I don't think that was taken in 1980, I think I saw it in a for sale ad recently. Both are exaggerations of the real editions. I'd like to see a pic of her getting into that car....I doubt she'd make it...not without some stuff hanging out. The Mercedes was much better displayed and I always like the low key sales method better :-)
