Speaking of Mercedes Benz. I bought a 2008 C4MATIC Capri Blue/Beige interior when I turned 60 and only drove it 2500 miles. It sits out in my barn and I think I would like to sell it. I'm thinking i want to buy a 4-5 year old Rolls Royce if I make it to 80. With used cars selling like hot cakes I think my Mercedes should be worth $32,000.00. Any ideas out there? The car looks and smells new. I would not be making a plug nickel by selling it. Just adding to the Rolls war chest. (fredwhyzer@aol.com) ... View more

I drive a 2000 Chevy Lumina as an all-around beater.  It was purchased in South Florida back in 2017.  I live in New Hampshire and use that car for Walmart "door-ding" runs, pharmacy "up-front" old lady parking and it glides along in snow as if the snow was not there.  The heater blows nice and warm, and during the summer the a/c is perfect.  The high speed on the blower quit, but hey, it is what it is.  The headliner is falling apart, but a $450 professional repair job is too much for me right now.  I take care of the car and out of all my cars, it is the ugliest, but I love driving it the most.  Funny how that's the way sometimes. ...

Why did Mustangs have to get so big?  Why did VW get fancy with the Beetle?  We loved the diesel Rabbit's.  They would go forever and feel good with the sunroof back.  The hell with the smoke.  Porsche had to get big and clumsy too.  Who the hell wants to put the key into the left side of the steering wheel and drive a car that does not even have an oil dip stick?  New cars suck.  Their colors suck and I don't want my windshield wiper controls on a stupid stick.  I want them on the dash.  I want a dimmer switch on the floor.  I have two feet.  I want the high beam indicator be RED.  Not "comfortable" blue.  I hope I see improvements before I die.  And electric cars.  Been around 150 years now.  They still suck.  And catch on fire. ...

The late 40's, early 50's had tons of chrome.  I would pay $25,000 extra for a car if they had four things I miss.  A wiper switch (knob) on the dash,  a headlight dimmer switch located on the floor with a RED high beam indicator.  And finally, side vent windows.  They called the move away from those simple things, progress.  I call them automotive failure. ...
