Time for a road trip! Monkey Wrench Mike takes the workd’s cheapest Mercedes S63 AMG out for a 90 mile trip and shows you the best and worst features inside this $130,000 car.
You need to buy rain-x windshield chip fix tool and fill the chip. Did that to my car and it worked just fine. Greetings from Finland!! Im driving w210 200cdi with 571000km!!!!
I recommend leaving the transmission in sport mode. In the C (comfort) mode the transmission starts out in 2nd gear. The people on the forums say that is hard on the transmission. I leave my S55AMG in sport mode also leave it in sport mode in my R500.
I don’t want to be rude but I have to disagree. The 722.9 transmission used in mike’s car doesn’t mind what setting you use it in. In fact, the setting that makes the automatic transmission starting out in second gear is being used in Europe since the 80s with the 722.3/4 automatic transmission, although the settings then didn’t used to be called “sport” and “comfort” but “standard” and “economical” - anyway, starting out in second gear doesn’t hurt the transmission since possible stress from accelerating hard would be put on the torque converter, but even in comfort mode the transmission selects first gear if you put your foot down from a dead start..
You're back!!!!! Yeah. We missed you. Hey listen, other UA-camrs have gotten the $10 windshield repair kit amd it works excellent. They've made videos about it too. But so happy you are back.
So glad “Broomhilda” is working well for you!! I really DID want this car but if I cannot have her, I couldn’t t be happier that you’re her caretaker!!! The cruise control also has a cool feature. Once set, you can lift or lower the stalk to change the speed 1 MPH at a time, HOWEVER, if you lift/lower it all the way, it will raise/lower the speed in 5 MPH increments.
I had the same thing happen to me when I bought my (new to me) 2013 Hyundai Genesis. Less than a month after owning it, a truck tossed a big rock at my windshield as it passed me on a 2 lane road. Nice spider crack in the windshield!
Hello Mike, you jinxed yourself I saw that engine light lol 🤣🤣🤣 and Ohh LA LA Sexy Janice can't wait, and hopefully Poor little Bummer Beemer get his Cradle of Horse Power fixed. Thank you Mike. Hey Randy offered to buy the Mercedes back Lol 😃😆🤣🤣
Thanks for the update Mike but considering how busy you must have been with work and the weather situation I am surprised. Stay safe and don't burn the candle at both ends it only works for so long old bean 😊. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I was waiting for this!👍 Glad you are loving the W221:).. Also the little button with a star that controls your rear sunshade is a favorite button, can be programmed to do a few different things, and rear headrests come back up by air if you hold the headrest button too!👌 Lol
MWM‼️ 🎶Welcome back🎶 Your dreams were your ticket out🎶 Quick, Mike, what TV show was that the theme fo❓(bonus points if you name the star, and future star from that show) Great to have you back, man. Glad you’re lovin the ol S63!
BINGO❗️ Yeah, you have to be a “little” older to pick up on that one, Mike. Now, who was the star of Welcome Back Kotter, and what future mega-star got his start in that show❓Man, I missed you recently. Can’t WAIT for the good old ‘69 classic MB to show up on the channel. You just don’t see those old beauties around anymore.
I’m quite sure that the “star”-shaped button in the center console that you said controls the rear sunshade is configurable actually - so it controls a lot more than just the sunshade 🥳😜🤷♂️
Thank you, kind Mike! What a masterpiece of a car that '63 is! QUESTION on the side window screens? Are they also so you can open the windows and screens up to keep the bugs out? Anyway, glad to hear from you again and please feature whatever YOU desire. Speaking of RANDY, you gotta see his new ESTATE! (or did you find it) Wait till everything comes in GREEN with spring around the corner. Thank you for another one. Much appreciated! Sonny
I HAVE A FEELING... Mike's got the pad .. the dog... a great collection of cars ... girlfriend next ????? Mike you can go out with my! mom she has a 560sl, 560sec, 560sel and just got very rare 350sd turbo ! She loves these cars .. she is little younger then you and a beuty... she told me you were handsome when I had you playing on the big screen never thought of it till now
@@MonkeyWrenchMike You always ask the right question ! She is getting ready to retire ! Building a house up in the colorado rocky mountains and A shop with a lift .. she really likes Janus and says of all your cars... that's the one to pick her up in! Shes alot like Janus shes in great shape beutiful body hasn't been put to use in a while and has a haunted past ! But if you can redeem Janus ... my ma will be easy peasy!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike one more funny thing ... your 560sel used to be in colorado and she almost bought it loved the color of the interior and rear seat ! When I showed her you got it she couldn't believe it !
@@MonkeyWrenchMike it's been a long time but I drove that way up to Wichita several times from San Diego. It must just be a spot on the road so I missed it. Lol
How fast have you gotten this beast up to? If you don’t want to come right out and say it, in your next video, look into the camera and blink twice if you have exceeded 100 mph. Pull on your earlobe like Carol Burnett if you have got it up to 120. If you have exceeded 140, say “alright, alright, alright!”
Wait till you price that windshield my son is a sucker for benz cars. he had a 55amg supercharged and they wanted 2k for the windshield. Somehow he got one for 900. He moved on to a 4 door 550 he got from a retired 79 year old lawyer with about 80k on the clock. looks showroom. He paid 10k I think its a 2009. I would try to fix that chip before it starts traveling because it's some kind of double glass FYI. Enjoy your car don't beat it like Randy. I find that abuse unnecessary. Should have taken Lola for the ride
I think the ghost of Janice went over to Randy's AARHQ lmao 🤣
You too 😃🤣😆🤣😆🤣 I have the same thoughts Lol 😆😆😆
You deserve that car. You"'ll take care of it . No burnouts Mike.
If you want to sell it I’ll give you $5500
Lol 😂😂😂😂😆😆😆
Lol 😂🇬🇧👍
Put a 1 in front and we can talk... lol!! I still need to give you more $$. I wanna do a walk around soon, too!
I noticed the "rest" button in the car. Thanks to Legit Street Cars, we now know what that does.
@@lorientmh What?
A big part of owning car(s) is enjoying the ride. Enjoy my friend! ;)
I've been in 100s of Mercedes benz and that swivel on the monitor blew my mind
Crazy, right??
You need to buy rain-x windshield chip fix tool and fill the chip. Did that to my car and it worked just fine. Greetings from Finland!! Im driving w210 200cdi with 571000km!!!!
571k?? Impressive!!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike Yes sir!
Been having monkey wrench withdrawals. Glad you didn’t freeze. Afternoon matinee is always nice. 🐒🐒
We’ve been missing you!
Rear shades are called 'peasant blockers'. Also that screen turning thing is so your screen can get out of the sun.
I recommend leaving the transmission in sport mode. In the C (comfort) mode the transmission starts out in 2nd gear. The people on the forums say that is hard on the transmission. I leave my S55AMG in sport mode also leave it in sport mode in my R500.

@@karlmuller44 My car has the 722.6 I'm only familiar with that Mercedes transmission.
It's about time we heard from you again. I thought that maybe they had sent you off with the mars rover!
Ha!!
It looks good on you and you look good in it. Very nice.
You're back!!!!! Yeah. We missed you. Hey listen, other UA-camrs have gotten the $10 windshield repair kit amd it works excellent. They've made videos about it too. But so happy you are back.
“...If I had a date!” “I could...” such a great guy!
I still pressed "like" even though Lola was missing !!!
Great Daily Driver for you Mike. Definitely a Keeper. Tax time is near, opportunity to sell some of your fleet- Beemers!!!
My YUGO has 2 options, start or no start.
Glad your back Mike and happy to see that you're enjoying the S63, Really, really happy that you will be working on Janice again, 👍
So glad “Broomhilda” is working well for you!! I really DID want this car but if I cannot have her, I couldn’t t be happier that you’re her caretaker!!!

Thats one seriously awesome car! 😍 And it's got some serious power too! 😱 but the most amazing is that everything works.... 😆
Mercedes is the most reliable and longest lasting out of the big 3 german brands in my opinion. This is coming from a BMW owner.
Good to see mate driving one of your mercs and enjoying the ride.

It's been ages since I was in that part of the country. Stillwater is west of OK City on the 40? You said 90 miles, right?
Stillwater is North of OKC ON I-35 and West of Tulsa! Fun little town!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike it's been a long time but I drove that way up to Wichita several times from San Diego. It must just be a spot on the road so I missed it. Lol
Mike isn't that useless button really the coolest? Split view on the screen so passenger can watch video while you have alternative display.
Realy like your vids
Can anyone tell the specific model year?
Nice luxury yacht

How about - alright, alright! (2 not 3)
I can't wait to see her on the road and Randy had to get a heater on Amazon
Great ride
Great.👍
Sleeper vlog
Eyes on the road sir.

Wait till you price that windshield my son is a sucker for benz cars. he had a 55amg supercharged and they wanted 2k for the windshield. Somehow he got one for 900.
