There is just something about old Benzes that make them better as the years pass by.

Their over-engineered nature has made them one of the coolest cars to own and run, while many people are after for the diesel versions of models like the 300D featured in this video.

With its flat black paint job (or wrap, who knows), its big, shiny wheels and that crazy exhaust that comes out of the hood, this Benz looks like a huge fun car to drive around.

It even has a manual gearbox, which raises the street-cred of the vehicle even more. People look at it and believe that it’s a fast machine, but as the owner says “It’s the opposite of a sleeper, people think it’s gonna be fast but it’s really not at all”.

That doesn’t deter him though from taking his car down to the drag-strip and enjoy his black cloud maker to the maximum.
