Default Incredible Story and a Testament to a car

An incredible adventure I could only dream of, and one hell of a car. Mercedes can really build quality when they want to. Show the video to your wife, girlfriend, kids, everyone. This guy is my hero.

The G Wag wasnt actually that expensive back then. Remember, back then, it was not the "luxury" version that it is today. It wasn't a "cheap" vehicle, but not nearly what the cost today. Back then, in that trim with a diesel it cost as much as any decent SUV, such as the Defender 90.
