Cool, Sometimes I try and find something to do that involves driving just to drive my 16v.

I look forward to driving it to California early next year! 1,200 miles! That huge utah stretch of highway, then will I be able to see what the top speed of my 16v is. I hit 132 in my 202 but backed off due to the tires not being rated at that speed.

Chilled with my buddy last night and met a pretty cool chick, but I was just off work so I had my beater f*ing datsun instead of the Benz! I gave her a ride home (not in style lol), the thing still smelt like the nasty old carpets I tore out lol

Got turkey dinner with the fam later today

Went to the junk yard and found a goldmine! I found 2 W124's with the 4 piston calipers up front. Also some 190e's with perfect dashes. Also the 190e's had the door cladding. Im going to take the calipers and rotors tomorrow. Now all three of my cars will have 4 piston calipers! My 16v will get the bigger rear brake set up that one of the
W124's has. Oh yeah and the 190e's have the updated front door panels with speakers.

That reminds me! I need to clean out the lobster tank(the reason I call it the lobster tank and not the fish tank is because the lobster ate all the fishes but a couple). I have a pet lobster with his buddy a red finned shark. Can't wait till to remove those parts! If I had all the space I wanted, Id pull all the good stuff from those cars.

Went to junk yard and picked up a sway bar, 2 rotors and 2 calipers along with a late model w124 becker radio which should sound nicer than the older model I have right now, also its a 4ch not a 2ch like the one I have right now. Oh yeah and a belt tensioner screw.
