those Benz's

Goes to show, the Benz bends....Oooh!

[ahhhhh]

A car should not cost that much..it deserves to be taken out of commission....People can't buy homes for that price..it is a look at me look how much money I have

gutted = discouraged.... British version

[brush lee]

how much is it worth now

[DILF SPICOLI]

Ah, I can fix it!!!

My dad is a TV repairman, he has an awesome set of tools!!!!

Nothing is wrong with British cars, you just have to be careful if they are inch pattern or metric so that you have the appropriate endorsement on your license.
