Well as a super late graduation gift my grandparents gave me a car, that they had secretly had for a while. So far I freaking love every minute of driving it, just thought i'd post a few pics to gloat, Mercedes 560SL.

p.s. just got my camera back from my parents and tried to get a little fancy, yeah,...not my best idea. I got my flame retardant suit on already, so try as you may.

Looks nice, but I would've taken pics that show the whole car and not have 25% of the car in 4 pictures.

25% per pic.....4 pics. Put them together and you have a whole.

Nice Mercedes, man. Keep it the way it is.

So do a lot of my friends, I'm considering buying AMG wheels for it, but other than that. I'm trying to get it to showroom condition. Oh yeah, i don't think it's obvious from the pics, but it's actually a convertible, I just have the hardtop on it, cuz the weather sucks balls as of late

Weren't all of these convertible with a removable top?

Lol, idk. I don't know much about the car, yet, i'm slowly researching it, as i fix stuff on it (all really minor), but I have a lot of stuff on my plate w/ school, job hunting, and working on another build as well, in that order.

I wouldn't do anything to it other than polished factory wheels. :goodjob:

I can agree with this.

Like ever-loving shit. Way to ruin a classic import.

I can definitely agree with these!

OP. Don't get caught up in that Honda fad, dude. That's a classic Mercedes. Leave it a classic Mercedes. Later, QD.

Lol, i'm not a honda "fanboy" I just drive a teg, the car is going to remain as close to showroom condition as I can get it, maybe AMG wheels, if not polished OEMs.

Sounds like a good idea, but I'm sure i'm too poor for that right now

Lolol. I wasn't calling you one, man. Just referring to the comments about "Honda-ing" the car out. Showroom condition would be beautiful. Later, QD.
