124 test car

[Allgonquin]

Using a W124 for a rather unorthodox tire test. I love this YouTuber and all the wacky stuff he does, usually with clapped out Ladas and other iron curtain era cars which I can't recognize. From time to time you can spot other MB models lurking in his garage, etc.

The love for the W124 in ex-Soviet countries is unmatched. They are everywhere in every condition, but I never saw a .036.

The one time I had a early 124 as an Uber when I lived in Ukraine. The poor thing was overheating and would stall at stoplights, so the guy would just rev it in neutral to keep it from dying. I tried explaining the damage that was being done, but he didn't care. As long as it kept moving. Here is a photo.
