What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there’s a decal that reads “Apocalypse 6x6.”

    Haven’t driven anything made in '82, but I’ll maintain that my friend’s W124 250D was one of the most comfortable car’s I’ve ever driven. It’s the suspension, mostly. Nowadays everything is sporty, but I don’t want sporty 90% of the time, I want to not feel bumps and shit.

      They are so goddamned comfortable, not much difference between the W123 from '82 and a W124 for that.

      Though the W124 is a lot better insulated, and thus quite a lot more quiet in the cabin than the W123.

        Yeah I’d love a W124 if I didn’t need ISOFIX for the foreseeable future. They’re just so nice. Particularly if I could get a 300td. Hell I’d probably either keep it stock, or build it to a sensible degree (i.e not a 700hp smoke monster)
