I take my car to the shop far too often, but sometimes I also bring my camera. Here are a few of my favorite photos I've taken while there.

I do not believe the 190SL was ever offered in this color, but the paint job actually seemed like pretty respectable work. It was in for a tune-up. As was its blood-orange (also not a stock color, I'm guessing) brother.

The orange is just straight-up ridiculous on this car. It doesn't even look real. Take a look at the instrument cluster.

Kinja'd!!!

You know you want it.

Bonus: a Pullman 600. The sign says "DO NOT TOUCH THIS CAR." Don't touch it. It's not there anymore, I'm not sure why it was in there in the first place, but I'll take a wild guess that it was something related to hydraulics.

There was also a pristine 230GE... but it was an aftermarket chop-top job and I could not bring myself to photograph such a crime.
