Mercedes hospital / Cemetary

Before I left for Manila, I had to get my car to pass the smog test. California has strict anti-emission laws for vehicles and any vehicle manufactured after 1985 needs to pass periodic smog test. Mamba failed the initial test. I suspect the motor was burning too lean . The EGR valve was a little clogged up and wasn't feeding accurate data to the O2 sensor thus causing NO2 level to be a tad too high.

I had to bring it to the Benz doctor. It was fun to see Mamba's cousins sitting there. As you can see below, all models of Mercedes were there at Mike's place in Huntington beach.
















This one is prolly from the late 60s not sure what the model is.

This one is mamba's sister vehicle; the SEC series. Its the S-Class coupe series which same motor as the SEL.
