It's not just the 140 series. People are just envious and jealous of ANY Mercedes in some places. After I had a 93 190 E 2.6 repainted, someone keyed it the second day. It is just sad that people are so crazy! This car is nothing to be having envy over! | ||

Despite all this I park my car on the street each night in the middle of a student city where there are loads of drunks and touch wood it has been fine. My hood star was tampered in a parking lot in town but so far I have found people to be quite good. except when I was washing and waxing my car the other day in the street almost everybody who walked past gave me the 'look', which I dont like but what ya gonna do? | ||

anythinggoes Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: W140: A target for retards. sorry to dig up an old post here but reading this has me scared where i live i think i own 1 of maybe 4-5 s500 and evrywhere i go i get looks from people living in england we dont really have huge cars, but i must admit i am worried about parking it up anywhere as we have things called Chavs in our country (do a wikipedia) and my town is full of them i can see my car being a prime target, what also makes me laugh is that this car im riving cost me £2400 and people still look at it thinking its a £30-£40k car, i work in the motor industry for GM i sell Vauxhall car parts i get paid £21k a year so i am by no means rich im sure many of these Green Eyed people could afford what i rive if they took the time to look into it. The only problem is the Insurance and the crippling fuel costs here £80/$160 for a full tank of fuel. | ||

I don't know when/where it happened, or who did it, but it looks pretty nasty. Really makes me sad. They made a long scratch, a long curvy scratch. What the heck, these cars aren't even that expensive. Most owners can barely live with the maintenance costs, and stupid people have to go out an ruin it for everyone. | ||

Yea I've seen other W140's on the road there never was and most likely never will be another S class that was so brazen as a fully loaded W140. | ||

CL 6 Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: W140: A target for retards. I get those mean looks and erratic drivers who feel like they won something by cutting me off but I've had Mercedes before and learned that a lot of people are not happy people and feel they need to do things to others who THEY think has more than them. People misunderstand my car and think that I'm trying to impress others when it's quite the opposite. Keeping my car clean and driving the speed limit is for ME and ME only. I don't drive slow intentionally or have 20" Lorinsers so somebody can like me. | ||
