    I've gotten hooked on these videos, not only because of the great cars (like this one). But also because Bill is one of the best car presenters I've seen, and I watch ALOT of car videos. With his encyclopedic knowledge of European cars, and great wit (Goddam Birds!, Mosquitos!.......little bastards!, Weedeaters!, Making soup out of ketchup and water!!, Big Canadians!!!).This guy is a rockstar. Gotta meet him someday. My wife and I are watching all of his videos, mainly for the entertainment value. But we're also drooling over the gorgeous vintage cars that are all in showroom condition. Would be worth a trip to Napes to acquire one. Eric M in Georgia

    You get so peeved about the birds and string trimmers. LOL. I personally prefer your reviews from the driveway. They seem more personal, somehow. Besides, the scenery somehow allows for better focus on the car. I can understand the reason for the booth, but it just seems so, we'll... "produced?" I love them from the driveway. But you guys do what you need to do to make your living. I'll still watch your reviews and "like" them. You're not losing a subscriber here. Just belly-aching here. You belly-ached in the beginning of the video. We're all allowed every now and then. LOL.
    Side note:
    You should read the story, "The Birds." It somehow fits here. LOL. Keep 'em coming, good sir! Watch out for the giraffes!

    @bob808 6 років тому +11

    LMAO Bill, you are the best! :D I bought a 2000 model S430 back in 2012 for half the regular asking price as the car had some issues. I have to agree, the seats were supremely comfortable, and the V8 (while only a 4.3L) was very smooth. Unfortunately, it was a highish mileage car with a few problems, so I got rid of it after 1 year. As you mentioned, the sound insulation was AMAZING!

    Love your videos. Although it’d be a death sentence buying a S class this old. Best friend is a director at one of the most successful Mercedes Benz dealerships on the west coast. These models are notorious for having balance shaft issues, among a million other issues. Forget the high price of getting the issues fixed, as a Mercedes owner I spend every other weekend at the dealership with one problem or another. I am in a rental most of the time. I own a 2015 e class as well as a 2014 GLK. You’d be a lunatic for getting a Mercedes.

      The Architect I take immaculate care of all my cars. You can service them accordingly, that will not stop a balance shaft from going out. Do some research on E Class and S class balance shaft issues, you’ll find a plethora of customers experiencing this.

    You're really the best!! LOVE your humor!! STAY YOU!! I think the real reason why you feel so special in a MB is because it's a S Class (special class), and it's not a rebadged Toyota (Lexus), Nissan (Infiniti), Honda (Acura), Volkswagen (Audi) or Ford (Lincoln). The only thing that compares, if you need to compare, which you don't, is a BMW, and those are not even worth this sentence. 😉
