My 1985 Mercedes SL Has Been Broken Continuously for 15 Years

[HooviesGarage]

You all demand I use a wireless microphone in every video I make, and when I have in the past, it proves to be about as reliable as my old Mercedes. I just spent $700 on a new setup and still have issues with it coming out one side. I am aware of this. Sorry...

Doug is the kinda guy to look at an Aztek and call it beautiful

[Uninfluenceable]

Doug drives an $80, 000 yellow Jeep Wrangler. His opinion means nothing to me...

Loved the 80's style intro. You have a classy SL there Tyler, treasure it.

I’m not a Mercedes fanboy butt I think the 70’s-80’s sl is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

“Insert my left ear enjoyed this video here”

Don't agree with Doug on this one.

[Minecraftrok]

Damn am I glad that you've kept that car over all the time despite your issues!
I would never own such a car probably, so I'm grateful to see them on the road driven by amazing people like you!

The one thumbs down is from Doug Demuro.

Jeremy Clarkson called. He said that Doug was stupid.

Tyler I understand where your love for this car comes from. I have my own aging car a 1999 Chevrolet Lumina That I will never let go of regardless of how old it gets, considering its age its absolutely a pleasure to drive still and feels as tight as it did the day it rolled of the factory floor, though most of the love comes from the fact that it was my first car. I too for years have been treating its arthritis changing various ignition systems, patching rust and other things, but New England is not a forgiving environment for 20 year old vehicles. in fact now I'm so scared of losing her to an accident or bad weather that she sits idle in the garage while i daily my Chrysler. Though our two vehicles it seems are perfect examples of what makes owning a car so great to car people its a never ending labor of love to keep these vehicles road worthy so that they can drive and park into a special place in our hearts.

I have 3 German cars, one is a 1982 Mercedes 300TD Turbo Diesel wagon. My mom bought it new, it's been in the family ever since. As my mechanic tells me the interior will fall apart long before the engine will. If you want the trick besides good maintenance. Get a Mercedes battery, they will outlast just about any other.
My other cars are Porsche's, A 1969 912(my mom bought it new). An a 04 Carrera, I bought it because I liked driving the 912, but I really wanted air conditioning. Living in Phoenix, Az is a must. But my mom did say she drove that 912 for 18 years without it.

I can say a lot about driving your old cars, my 912 insists on being driven. If I don't she complains very loudly, by backfiring almost continuously. So just like having a dog, Porsche gets her walkies. :)

So what you are saying is that your Mercedes is less reliable than my Yugo? Lol

Hoovie's the type of guy to buy my 1990's car phone beause it's broken

[computiNATEor]

I thought my headphones were broken for a minute...

Dude your gmas car is awesome! Give it another 15 years of repairs ❤️ it will be worth it at he end 🙂 *Mercedes fan boys*

[LeeMcNeil]

Holy cow man. I feel your pain. I own an '82 380SL and you are right about everything. The big difference though is that my car is probably never going to be worth squat, but that 500SL with the eurobumpers and AMG wheels is car somebody would actually pay good money for. That is a sweet ride.

[ramsay]

It's a beautiful car!
My favorite color combo was dark blue, dark blue cloth top and saddle color interior...
