| Marsden Classic MB Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Capital City USA Vehicle(s): Mercedes-Benz  | 110 in 215 Okay. I was late for an event in North Carolina. So once I'd crossed the state line, and made sure there weren't any cops hiding nearby, I let loose. Man, this car is smooth as silk in triple digits, and you go from 60 to 100 in the blink of an eye. Can't speed in VA because of the stupid $3000 fines. Of course, doing 110 in a 60mph zone might be asking for it too, but I was late and I needed to be there as I was a participant in said event.

| RE: 110 in 215 The B-Pillar trim panels both came off the neon at the same time, but they were both on the car when I left work!! I remember it was when I was working at Toys R Us, and had left my gameboy sitting on the seat-- soonafter, I had problems with window regulators, too. I assume someone tried to pry their little fingers between the window and hardtop, and popped those panels loose whilst simultaneously misaligning something in the regulator to make it fail? I heard two big noised on my way home from work, and the next morning realized what they were  Hardtop coupés don't seem like the best way to build a 2-door automobile-- I kind of would prefer a plain old 2-door sedan "coupé" with window frames. Daimler wouldn't do that, would they? Would it be too plebeian? **edit** Oh, yeah-- the cars feel really nice at above 90, don't they? The neon feels, at 110mph, like the suspension tightens and lowers-- its crazy fun!!! Edited by iNeon 11/18/2007 10:42 AM | ||

I'd snap a pic but since it's repaired it wouldn't tell you much. They had to drill out one of the mounts and replace it. Since then I haven't gone much over 80
