Mercedes guy down the street

So this guy lives down the street maybe 5 miles from me.  I parked and took some pictures:



Nice black 300D.  Looks a lot like haromaster's.  But with euro bumpers, headlights, and sheepskins:







White W108 with red interior and sheepskins.  My kinda style, but fortunately short wheelbase which prevents me from demanding to buy it:









Presume this is his usual driver these days:

What a nice collection!  I hope the owner can keep them out of the weather...

Nope, he always just has them parked along the street. He seems to have a single car cover that he alternates between the 250S and something else. He doesn't even have sunscreens in the windshields.

It would be my worst nightmare to live in an area with only street parking available.

Over here its considered "fun" to go vandalize street parked cars by smashing their windows etc. MB's almost always get de-stared too.

I've heard of such things, but fortunately out here where I live it's in the uncivilized part of the world.  People here generally have not discovered such modern diversions ;)

Looks like this is on one of the older town roads in central Maryland -- usually pretty quaint and not so common for cars to be vandalized.  A few miles away and it will be all pasture, right Casey?

Google Maps for 'New Windsor, Maryland, USA' can answer that question better than I ever can.  But in short, yes. ;)
