The creator presents a 1987 Mercedes 300 SL, explaining its status as a symbol of wealth in the 1980s. She highlights its famously reliable engine, demonstrates its smoothness by balancing a coin on it, and points out interior details. She discusses the model's long production run, shares a personal anecdote about her father's perception of the car, explains quirks like the manual vs. electric mirrors, decodes the model name, details the engine specs, and concludes by revving the engine to showcase its sound.

188 HORSEPOWER
If you were rich in the eighties, this is how you would tell people quietly. Even princess Diana had one. And it's all because you had a famous unkillable engine that is so smooth you can balance a coin on it whilst it's idling, or because the main character of your center console is, of course, your lighter and your ashtray, or because they kept on producing this car for eighteen years straight with 02/7287 of this model. And no, that's not laziness. It's just perfection that they refuse to mess with. This is a 1987 Mercedes 300 SL and my Lebanese dad would say, baba, if you had this, you had Masari. One side of the mirrors, you can control electrically by using this toggle here. However, the other side, you had to control manually. One person gets luxury, the other gets character development. And the 300 just means you have a three liter engine. So if you've seen the same car with these labels, it's just highlighting what engine size is in that car. And it has a three liter inline six engine producing a 188 horsepower, and this is how she sounds. Yalla.
