Kangaroo bars are illegal on G-Wagens in Korea

I think kangaroo bars look really cool on G-Wagens, but unfortunately, they’re illegal in South Korea.
They’re not allowed because of pedestrian safety regulations. So even though they suit the G-Wagen’s rugged design perfectly, you can’t legally install one here.

The W211 Estate Has Aged So Well

The W211 Estate still looks great even after all these years. It has aged really well, and I love how practical it is without looking boring.
There’s just something about the W211 wagon that makes it feel timeless. I’d honestly consider one as a daily driver even today.

W202 vs W203 — Which one would you choose as a daily driver?

I’m thinking about buying a W202 or W203 as a daily driver. I’d like a silver one with an AMG-style appearance, like the cars in the picture.
I love the classic look of the W202, but the W203 seems more practical for daily use.
Which one would you choose, and which year, trim, and engine would you recommend for the best value, reliability, and durability?
I’d especially love to hear from people who have actually daily-driven one of these cars.
Thanks!

Mercedes EQA engine bay design feels unfinished

I know it’s an EV, but every time I see the EQA’s engine bay, I can’t help thinking it looks really unfinished. There’s no engine cover, everything is just out in the open, and the overall fit and finish feels kind of lacking for a Mercedes. Does anyone else feel the same? 😂

Greetings from Seoul, South Korea! My 2002 Chevy S-10

Hi everyone!
I’m 32 years old and live in Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea. I own a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 with the 4.3L V6, and it has only 49,000 miles on it.
I’m looking to connect with other S-10 owners from around the world. I’d love to follow each other, stay in touch, share photos of our trucks, exchange maintenance tips, and learn more about these awesome trucks.
I’m also interested in cosmetic upgrades. If anyone can recommend or share where to find dress-up parts like grilles, headlights, taillights, wheels, trim, or interior accessories, I’d really appreciate it.
Looking forward to meeting fellow S-10 owners. Thanks for having me!
