Sorry for causing everyone to re-live the bad memories. It the first time I've seen this abortion. I really wish I hadn't.

Re: Gangsta Gangsta

You may have a nightmare or two. Only thing worse was the front end of a late '90's E class grafted on to a early '90's G class with dual rear exhausts through a BMWesque rear lower valence in DODO brown. That was an absolute nightmare maker.

MarcO,

Well, the Suzuki Gelandewagen G-class compared to those two is a great improvement and the donor vehicle is a Suzuki not a Mercedes G-class!

Re: Gangsta Gangsta

Quite a few "bad" Gs come to mind

1) the pink gucci G
2) Wyclef Jean's Maybach G
3) the streeeeetch G limo
4) the baby blue G with the illuminated blue steering wheel
5) the colani Gs
6) the G that had the older benz front grafted on (along the lines of what marco is saying)

and most certainly

7) the "hummer" G

Indiana Drew,

Out of respect for Dramirez since he owns a Yellow Mercedes Gelandewagen Cabrio, it is because it is a Yellow 463 LWB .

Re: Gangsta Gangsta

In 1998, I considered buying Dramirez's yellow soft-top G.

It was in a used truck dealership just outside Grecia. It was either that same one, or another one just like that. It was a 1981, that I remember. It was going for $7500 or so at the time.

Re: Gangsta Gangsta

How is this "gangsta gangsta" again? Previous owner was a country music star if I recall...but thanks for perpetuating the stereotype.

Its been part of the family since 1985, and in my hands since 1997. no, its never been for sale (hopefully never will be), so it most have been some other yellow 1981 cabrio.

What does the particular genre of music have to do with anything? Are you saying that hillbillys can't roll like that too? I just thought it was funny. Didn't mean to be offensive.

I thought it was more offensive that you didn't hypertext the link

If someone's giving away the yellow 463 LWB - I'll drive it! - not that orange pos though
