She is in her 40's and that is a-ok with me soon as she got out of her car she just exuded class. First time I spoke to her in the bank I was stumbling over my words like a jackass hahaha I still do actually

haha nice pics. Your car is pretty bad ***!

Also, I like the W221 Benz, especially after watching the YouTube where Tavarish had gotten the S600 from Hoovie (lost interest in his channel once it became the Lambo).

Now, even used, I probably would attempt to skip all the way to 2015 and the 6th gen W222 (not today, but when it ages a little more...)

Ok we're both dads so I think we're entitled to joke around, but with all the news going on lately, my buddy goes, where were all these hot teachers when we were in HS lol

(my hunch is everything happening today happened when we were kids, parents were kids, grandparents were kids, just that now something happens the news is instantaneous)

Older grandparent viewpoint of the far past: The "news" was instantaneous within the local community. When a young woman became pregnant, a shotgun wedding was quickly conducted and life went on. Generally, those arranged weddings turned out to be stable and long lived.

That's funny... When my wife gets out of the car, she exudes gas, not class...

Last year I was reading a book and it seemed to point out, that one purpose of having a kid was so that the kid could work and produce income for the family. So 5 kids, all the better to get the chores done on the farm. Today, it seems each kid needs an iPad Pro with 4G, and a iPhone X, their own room, money for the prom, their own car, etc. Seems much different....stability is not a joke, we should strive for it more often...

That's a W221, I'd take it over a 3rd gen LS430 any day! lol Let's be realistic...they're not the same vintage.

edit I looked up that car and it's a 2008 S550, while the LS is a 2005.

So it looks like I'm not the only one who likes to take pictures of their LS next to other high end cars lol. I've taken pictures of mine next to a 460 and various BMW and Mercedes. I just love doing it for some reason. Maybe I'll upload some of my pictures sometime.

Even if you didn't have worry about maintenance?

Tbh, I was actually shopping around for an S Class when I bought my LS. I hadn't even really considered Lexus, not because Lexus is bad by any means but rather I like the styling much better from Mercedes. I only ended up with my Lexus because after I was informed that my dad's friend was selling his for a really good price, I ended up doing some research and realized what a great deal the car was. Even then, I was planning to flip the car. I was going to drive it for a few months just for the experience and then sell it. Well, I've since fallen in love with the car and now plan on keeping it for years to come. For my daily, I really want something reliable and the LS fits the bill much better than a comparable S Class.

It's definitely sweet

I know you are very particular, down to the bushings, the way things sound, drive, etc.
