    Last year I spoke with the owner of this car. He said the coolest thing about it compared to other Maker Faire displays is that it's really easy to setup: just drive in and park! He also said that pens do fall out from time to time and he does replace them.

    Awesome pen collection. Glued onto a car, not so much.

    But different (pen) strokes for different folks.

    It has no meaning and is made without any artistic craft, and it is also ugly. Nul points.

    A bit of Deja Vu for today. Not that I mind. Every once in a while, Jalopnik has to revisit something for the benefit of readers who may not have been around the last time.

    @smalleyxb122: Well, if we called this a mistake (as we surely would with Ray), we'd be admitting that Murilee is fallible.


    And that just can't be.

    @FromaBuick6: If one wanted to find fault, it would only be in not referencing last year's post. Even though the car has been featured before, it's at a different event, and that makes it fair game for additional coverage.


    No one would fault a post of "Hey, remember that Mercedes with all of the pens glued to it that we showed you last year? It showed up at the Maker Faire."


    Okay, so someone might post about it being "old news", but he would subsequently be berated by the rest of the commentariat. i.e. "read the post, and it says that it's been here before," or "reading comprehension FTL."

    The fact that they didn't cover that up makes this car that much cooler.

    W126s are still pretty common around here. The other three are not.


    I did, however, see a two-door MkII Jetta the other night. Wish I'd been able to photograph that...

    The W126, like, in general looks remarkably fresh for a design that was introduced thirty years ago. I don't know why it seems so 'modern' to me, or why today is the day I come to this realisation, but it seems like something that was pinned five years after it was.

    @A strolling player is: Gold Member!:

    In my opinion, there's never been a better looking S-class than the W126. Expensive and formal looking, yet with just enough aero sleekness to make it look modern. It's not fat-looking like the follow-up W140, and not too self-consciously "styled" like the post-1999 models.

    @A strolling player is: Gold Member!: Agreed, it's a great design. The proportions are about perfect, and it's neither over- nor under-styled, as many cars of it's day were.

    Murilee got Tomsk to work for her (after treating him gently with her whip) and Murilee herself got to the LeMons racing and at night she is hanging out with a guy with a Rat Rot.
