The History of Mercedes-Benz, A Formidable Woman, and How the SL Came To Be (like this 06 SL 500)

[@3229343]

I love your sense of humor, the rants, the rambling, the history lessona and the cars off course!

[@lamberko]

I don't know why you have 'only' 19,000 subscribers. You should have 200,000. Seriously. Best "used cars" channel, IMHO. 👍 - With best regards from Germany.

I've been thinking that since he had less than a thousand subs on his original channel, Autohaus of Naples.

[@lamberko]

@@KyleJett "Autohaus of Naples" is his 2nd channel? That one with that attractive lady?

[@KyleJett]

@@lamberko It was his first channel. Then I assume he cut ties with that dealership and started a new channel, which is this one. That girls dad probably owns the dealership or something. She has no clue what she is talking about. Her videos are unwatchable.

Thanks so much for your videos, I’m a Benz enthusiast and I love the history you implement on your videos! You rock my man!!!

That blue paint is gorgeous and the wheels remind me of what was on the SLR McLaren. The R230 is my favorite generation (pre-facelift of course) and Bruno Sacco’s final design before retiring.

[@kashiomodashio6455]

Bruno Sacco designed the most beautiful Mercedes ever made, I miss his designs!

[@gedaman]

@@kashiomodashio6455 Truly legendary automotive design. He went out on top with the R230 SL-Class. The W140 and C140 S-Class, CL-Class are 2 of my other favorite Bruno Sacco designs.

[@kashiomodashio6455]

@@gedaman indeed the w124, c140 and w140 are my favorite designs as well and so time less! I have a 98 s500 and love it like words can’t explain, I’d love to get a cl500 1 day to, I can’t get enough of his designs it’s hard for me to look at new Mercedes but when I see the older ones they give me the chills haha 😂

[@gedaman]

@@kashiomodashio6455 My dream car when I was 14 was a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S 600. Back then there was nothing that even came close. My MBUSA website build came to $140,000 with a $5,000 gas guzzler tax which all seemed like a lot to my 14 year old mind. Now I’m searching for a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S 500 Grand Edition if there are any available for sale. The C140 CL 500 or 600 are also favorites of mine. Some say that the W140 and C140 are the last of the “real Mercedes” models before the bean counters took total control.
