Had even just cleaned the 'out' side and noticed when I saw it was the dirty side after a flat repair..
Both of my prior AMGs had directional style tires, I remember checking the direction (they were fine). I remember the C43 had Yokohamas that would tramline like nothing I've ever driven, only on a particular road near me that had long shallow ruts.

I ended up doing that project by hand, but in the end it is now all done and the car is fully operational. Final cost was $420 for the fuel pump assembly (with shipping charges), about 3.5 hours of time (most of which was diagnostics).

My son turns sixteen in a couple months, so my plan now is to turn it into the teen car when he actually gets his license. We'll see.
And behind my friend's 300CD again, which is also a project he tinkers with constantly. Notice the brightness of the lights - he rebuilt them and lined them with foil or something. Might do that with my car. CHMSL is not stock on this car, but is off a 1986 MB - a common period piece that was on the car when he got it (also when he was 18, IIRC, this is his equivalent to the fintail):

Although at the same time, I usually think if anything happened to the car, I probably wouldn't get another old car. If I did, not sure if it would be a car of this era. It would be hard to be constantly comparing one car to another.
It was suggested by an aftermarket car shop owner that you could place 2 on the left, 2 on the right, and no one would ever be able to tell you didn't match by looking at the car from just one angle at a time.
Suggestion, what do you all think of it? Would you do it if you liked the wheels??

And, yes, I would do it even if I didn't really care for these mismatched wheels. Just because function beats form (for the right price!).

the other thing I saw that really called to me was a Checvy LUV with a 350.

Shouldn't this under-powered sedan have suffered 50% depreciation from the sticker by now? It's a good bit over that at the $60K asking price.
Is 520 HP enough for a big luxury liner like this?
Nothing depreciates like an A8 or variant. Carvana isn't exactly bargain city, either.

...and maybe the hood scoop
Missed that at first against the green background.
"Another waste. A year or two ago, somebody thought this ambulance was worth $6,500. Two months ago, it ended up at Pick-N-Pull in Calgary. I tried to get someone out there to get the 15" wheels I need for my Universal since they are only $8.99 each, but the vehicle has already been crushed."

Or get an even cheaper luxury barge, probably lot cheaper to maintain. Old school luxury SUV. Part time 4WD with a selector lever!

Notice this car has the accessory protection trim - something I don't really care for, I am not unhappy that my car lacks it.
