    try some apple juice sui-cyco, its all natural, has 9 vitamins and minerals, environment friendly, and may give you a few extra ponies.
    or, you can just buy you a can of V-8... i suggest the tropical fruit.

    Yeah even the houses in the background look pretty nice. But personally I've never been real big fan of mercedes, more of a lexus kind of guy. Mercedes a little to blocku for me, but still a nice car kivory.

    She's not exactly a limosine, but I'm quite happy with my '93 Pontiac Grand Am. She just turned over 60,000 miles on the oddometer a couple of months back. I guess I don't get out much. It is the first and only new car that I have had. It almost feels like we're family.

    @gear

    thanks for coming to my defense...LOL...but, yeah, i'm a M.D. in life...to those that know me on here, that's how i got my nickname "docTY"...ddp gave it to me actually and it's stuck ever since~ :)

    i live right outside of Bev. Hills actually, so your assumption is fairly close evilh0ly~ :)

    @GlueEater

    i have a Lexus LS400 too, that's what my wife drives..it's not a recent model, fairly old actually; but i like the build quality of Lexus as well~ :) it's a 90's model, not a 2000 model, but, it's STILL ticking and running smooth to this day~

    good day to you all~

    docTY~

    Lexus LS400 is a high priced toyota........ i know, cuz i work on cars for a living. i feel for you when your starter goes bad doc...
    not only is it an expensive part, but expensive to replace...
    its a nithgmare..

    @ gear

    yeah, i know...even the scheduled maintance check-up for 30k/60/90k are over a thousand dollars..but, i've kept up with them and had the timing belt/brakes/other stuff i don't know too much about replaced already... :)

    i have a friend that is a certified Lexus/Toyota technician/engineer (spent last 15 years of his life working for Lexus/Toyota before he opened up his own shop), so, he does the work for me and i get a discount rather than going to the Lexus dealership :) he's Japanese by the way, so, i trust his work and have confidence that he knows his own cars LOL

    when i was younger, i used to compete in the Import Showoffs here in CA~ :) i actually had the 3rd fastest Integra in California~ :) ran 1/4 mile in just a split second under 12 sec. w/ street tires...w/ top speed of 112mph~ fully rebuilt engine by JG Engine Dynamics, custom DRAG turbo T3/T4 hybrid (i know the owner of DRAG turbo personally), boosting about 10psi and had my pistons fly right thru my hood LOL...and another 100lb shot of Nitrous for good measure...i put my car thru hell and back, but it was fun when i was younger~ :)

    i don't keep up or know all that much about cars anymore, but, i've had my fun with modifications and speed and races and the sorts...have a good one buddy...next time i have car issues, i know who to come to...thanks~

    docTY~

    technology now a days has advanced so much... its hard to keep up with the newer cars, but i manage to go to school often and stay up to date, i damn near have too, just to keep my job. i dont own this shop, but i manage 2 stores and still work on them, i am the lead tech here. thats why i have been bugging neph to come work for me, he is only 2 states away.
    anyway, have fun doc...... maybe one day i'll race ya in the streets.... see what that V-12 can do.... up against my 4.6 stang or the 6.7 Trans Am.... hehe.....

    my Peugeot 306 1.9 Turbo Diesel has just hit 119,000 yesterday :(

    however they say these cars are good for 250,000 miles. hmmm but don;t think those figures apply to cars treated so harshly :O

    Wait... I though you used Kilometers over there? Did you convert it? And how many Kilometers can a good car go. For example, 100,000 miles is pretty good.
