One of the cars I learned to drive on was an old Merc manual. It was my grandfathers car. I loved the thing. He wanted to teach me to drive stick before I learned how to drive. I really wish I could remember what it was. I wasn't concerned with model names/numbers back then, though retrospectively I wish I had been. Best I can figure from looking at pictures is that it was an old 280SL. My memory is foggy though, I cant really even remember what it looked like. I only remember little details like the shifter, the steering wheel, the air vent nozzles, the front grilles and head lamps, and the seats, and it was brown. It was ALL brown. Memories.
It's the root of my desire. I'd love MB to make a car like that again.
