I‘ve been driving a 1994 S500 coupe every day for the past year and a half. As far as daily, that M119 V8 is excellent. Not that much slower than the V12, and it’s just as comfy at 155mph. The lighter front end is nicer in the corners as well... As long as you’re on top of maintenance and the OG biodegradable wiring harness has been replaced, they are bulletproof.

You realise the passage of time is best referred to as relative for reasons you very well know by now right? Like yourself my imagination is fired by the potential response in relation the crowning jewel in the middle. 2. My perception of it and conception of it as a construct is absolutely variable or pertaining to variables. I get the meaning of it being so "typically" fast paced, blink and you'll miss it, madness, bewildering as descriptors of some mean life state to be some wholesale failure to be present in the moment. Caught up in feels...some increasingly integral emotive component providing some deserved long-toothed satisfaction ....erring on the side of positivity and failure to be positive about the negative value and what it means to be opposed to that considered to be positive will negate your ability to be positive even for positive's sake as who are astute and looking beyond simply doing "good" in the world will hold the power of balance to truly expose the logic behind ones actions and shutting oneself off to the yin and yang of it all reduces what was once a well meaning,individual on the path to remaining exposed to it ALL and rounding it all out at no specified pace .... ..to some trapped, needy and perhaps very secretly desperate animal sectioned off in an all too familiar pocket of some farmland out there.....old classic youtube gems springing to mind here: Watches the video from beardy-weird Mr. Murci-ELL-AGGo (38% his height is physically to blame trust me) then for a sizeable time period after does killer impressions of those GOATS YELLING LIKE HUMANS. Top of his lungs. Just waiting for the innocent and curious to venture nearer so he can unleash some waves of pretty convincing TONGUE TANTRUMS. Please, if you were to, what would you say with the need for iteration requiring decent typing skills and patience delivering zero reward, probably negative reward almost to a point of conceding I actually owe you for believing I would write numerous apt paragraphs to you as an exercise in verbosity.

The "cooled" seats in those is just air flowing through the seat pulled through the vent on the back of the seat.
