I'm going to share with you guys a piece of the internet which honestly has inspired me to do more with my life.

This owner of the 300 SL drives this car across country, attends car meets, a real car enthusiast. It's been his dream car and someday it will be someone elses.

I don't know what is is about this video; the music playing in the background, the cinematography, or just the fact that this car is really cool!

Looking back after watching this I never cared how old the car was, how reliable, or fast or slow, or even how safe it was... it just dawned on me that this is a nice car and it's being driven and appreciated which I'm sure gives the driver the same appreciation.


Enjoy the video, I'm looking for a similar car I can relish, share life with the passenger riding with me and enjoy America while the gas prices are still cheap so I can get the same feeling watching this guy do the same with his dream car.

What you mean someone else doesn't build it and trailer it there and he flies in and sees "his" car for the first time at the show?

hah, how weird, I just posted about a 300SL in the 'beautiful cars' thread last night! Cool to see this special vehicle being used. I've heard they drink oil and are a bit tempermental.

I want to buy ultra rare cars that auction for millions and drive them into the ground just to piss off people like Wayne from "chasing classic cars" et all. Fuck 'em.

Yea, no shit.

Cars like the one in the OP were meant to be driven, go out and enjoy it sheesh. Hell, with the sound that thing makes how could you not want to drive it like you stole it every single day?

Wiki says if you don't drive the 300SL hard the fuel injection system screws itself over
