the W108 is hella safe, the whole cabin is super rigid while trunk and engine bay are not, also the fire wall is shaped as to push transmission and engine downwards to deflect it from the passengers

"Can you get out of here dude??" Proceeds to fling him across the entire map. Don't know why that was so funny but it was. Love ya Neil!

Comfort over speed. Actually, comfort _and_ speed. Sure, not Ferrari fast, but this thing cam run pretty well. The 6.3 version was the world's fastest 4-door sedan back then. Also, an Autobahn cruiser, it could cruise at 130 mph all day long in the Autobahnen, and that's pretty impressive for a car from late 60's.

That horn after the car landed 😭😭😂😂

i love old cars not because of how safe but they are just so beutiful they are

No airbags, no abs, no ESP…we die like real men!

As for speed. AMG built a version of this car to race at Le Mans. It was known as the red pig. Very fast, at least in a straight line

It feels weird to call this beauty old when i see it like 70% of the time in my country since its still used...my dad still drives the Mercedes 300 SE 1990.. that thing is also a beauty

I had a 1990 300E and honestly one of my favorite cars I’ve had. Also the interior wasn’t too far off from this one.

A classic car indeed ...great video as always Neil 😊

That flight was elegance at its finest 😂

A mod of an old Mercedes-Benz car huh? I like it! I wonder if its design was an inspiration to the Miramar as it came to my mind? 🤔

Beautiful car and mod...I saw the cars IRL a few times in my childhood. They just glided through traffic :) Edit: Just tried the mod - it deserves 5/5 stars.

Thanks for reviewing my mod

Yes the newer cars may be safer but the newer car quality is not as good the older stuff the older car are better built.

@8:20 is like a ski slalom race - even sounds like their shins slapping the poles

What it is, Neil…I’m in Richmond but I’m at the hospital getting stitches cause my dummy ass cut my arm pretty bad at work. You know where to find it if you wanna see it. Anyways I get to catch up on your content while getting stitches in Richmond, how do you like that haha. Stay righteous, guy.

0:24 "YEEET" - Greystillplays

Just before you leave the ramp, rip up the handbrake and try to spin like a top through the air

My uncle had the eu version of that car and I've seen a couple in museums. They look as good irl

I love old Mercs

Not as bad as you think, it was among the first cars to feature crumple zones engineered into the body, the steering column was telescoping and the steering wheel was mounted on a special hub that collapsed on impact. Probably the safest car of the late 60s/early 70s.

Love the GT3 music in the background.

Any 80's volvo will survive everything

I Love this mod

I've seen those cars before, cool looking! The car in the beginning, it just gave you the honk XD

Classic European car in Italy, the police just thought you were part of the Mille Miglia. The police escort them through traffic and all sorts of crazy stuff. They'd probably get mad at you for not contravening road laws :)

I have one of those in real life it's a 1969 benz 280se with the 2.8l i6 and 4 speed manual it's a nice car the cam in the engine needs to be replaced but it'll run forever.

Need someone to make a w123 mod. Hand down my favourite classic mercedes ever.

Neilogical always make videos about what I'm thinking to do with BeamNG Drive. 🤔💯

Really old cars can withstand a EMP.

First head-on collision in slo-mo was satysfiying.

that mod is crazy

Neil: *Sees car* Also Neil: *Throws car away to enhance the showcase.*

Hi Neil. I love old mercs.

Neil became a poet for a split second with all that rhyming and I will say it was actually kinda impressive

You could option safety belts in cars as early as the 1940's ding dong 😂

headlight, are the lights on the car's head Neilogical 2023 6:39

The reason why old cars are considered "better" is because yes, your risk of dying is higher in a crash, BUT But But. If you survive you don't have to throw away the whole car cause it's squashed like a tomato and you have to do fewer repairs, if you die you don't have to worry about repairing your car. You don't have to worry about anything, you're dead

hell yeah, ive seen one irl, a 300d , such a classic, all i know is that these things run forever

keep up the great work Neil

The crashes…, and the car being thrown. Hilarious! And, I’m early for a video. Super cool,and great job!

hey guys, how's it goiNG AND WELCOME BAck to beam n g drive

Btw Neil some cars have auto dimming rear view cameras becasue of how bright some cars headlights can be.

my grandpa used owns this car, it's literally my dream car, few months ago i tried to find this car mod to add it to beamng but i wasn't able to

seatbelts were first used in a car in 40s, and seatbelts were invented in mid 19th century

all cars have tintet rear view mirrors. you can flip a little switch or turn them up or down and you can switch between dark and normal. actually nice if you drive at night and the bimmer in the rear shines his laser leds in your face.

I've got an 84 w123 and from factory all the mirrors are tinted, it's a mercedes thing but usually it's a blue ish tint

These are pretty safe though. These are made in a period where Mercedes was actually Mercedes and built quality cars

"This car has seatbelts?" Like as in the 60s no seatbelts no airbags we all die.

finally a cool clasic car mod!

this was actually one of the first cars to have over the shoulder seatbelts. very much a pain in the ass to put on tho.

The w109 300 SEL 6.3 my pops had was a big boat that roll out with prejudice

As long as your not going too fast, and you dont come to a stop instantly, crashes have a more favorable outcome.

That was funny. Thx for making me laugh. Does that bad boy come in manual transmission.

Neil neil neil.. screw volvo.. Nakajima invented the force latch, as a way to alow for flaps to be deployed at high speeds on aircraft back in WW2. The whole strap and latch was them.. putting it in a car, does not make one an inventor.

Someone needs to make a Mercedes Benz 600 for Beam

sometimes Beamng thinks youre driving a police car. I've noticed it with a few mods. If you're a police car they wont chase you.

How do you make your thumbnails?

Neil casually commits a Godly act... watches it happen... AnyWaYS

Keep up the good work with comodo

No air bags we die like real men

Fact a californian car Shop called Gotham Garage turned this Car into a Driftbeast Equipet with a Chevy v8

Oh, I've got a little old metal toy car of that thing. I found it in a pile of dirt from a house my dad tore down for someone many years ago. Ima try to find it!

My grammar has that mercadies and still drives it

Thank you for addressing the myth about old cars being "safer"! I've had that argument with boomers in Facebook car groups so many times, and it gets old so fast. "bAcK iN mY dAy We HaD nO aIrBaGs AnD wE wErE fInE" - yes, grampa, and all the people who weren't fine aren't here to share their side of the story, are they? Yes, older cars may have survived crashes with less cosmetic damage, but that was at the expense of the occupants. Modern cars are designed to sacrifice themselves to save the people inside.

i lost it when the other car was YEEted

*Rips car off of bridge* "...Anyway,"

The Vievace be like: that was rude😢

I honesty think the safest old car ever built is the Volvo 240 series

I think the reason everyone in Italy was after you is because you put pineapple on pizza.

W108 w109 or the w111 fin tail all so amazing let’s not get technical their all great 👍🏻 I’m a benz guy for life

So many lore-breaking mods......

Classic Mercedes were built to last. You might die in a significant collision (significant being key as these were actually quite safe cars as others have mentioned), but the car will live on for your family to drive for decades after, unlike anything from the last decade which will be scrapped from electrical failures or manufacturers dropping parts support for them. I don't understand driving expecting to crash. Safety tech only aims to reduce the severity of injuries in a collision, a rare event in driving, but it increases the risk people take while driving, therefore increasing the chances of being in a crash where your life depends on it. Put a spike in the middle of the steering wheel of every vehicle on the roads, and maybe actually educate people before giving them a licence, America, and you'd have far less risky driving and subsequent incidents occur. If you're actually concerned about crashing, 'Reg Local' is a good youtube channel to watch to learn how to drive to a far higher standard to avoid collisions to begin with. Known as 'advanced' in the UK, the Roadcraft/IAM/RoSPA level is what our emergency service drivers are taught to to be able to clock up to 150 mph on our roads safely, so it would dramatically improve your day to day driving to be able to be better prepared than even Teslas with all their sensors (that only react, never predict) for what can happen on the roads. If anyone looks at this 'advanced' level and thinks it's too much for them, you aren't truly committed to safe driving and any future collision you might be involved in will always have you as partly to blame for it, regardless of how insurance, etc divides up 'fault'. It might appear extreme compared to the basic test you passed to gain your licence, but that's just how extremely lacking *every* country's licence testing is, which the US amongst many others fall even further below. People shouldn't hold a licence if they can't drive to that 'advanced' level.

Anyone know how to get the Bugatti Chiron mod in Beamng? I got the file in my file explorer, just dont know jow to put it in the game.

So cool

hey Neil u wanna know something the car that ur driving one of my neighbors has the same car

Isn’t this the same old Mercedes from the hangover? 💀

Hey Neil, little words of wisdom for you. You probably shouldnt make fun of what is more than likely to be, a good portion of your fan base throughout an entire video like this. Its a really good way to get yourself "canceled". When we say"built like a tank" we mean at normal day to day city road speeds. Where the fastest speed limit ive seen is 55mph. They will take the hit, yes, you will get hurt, but you shouldnt die, and unlike the other "new" car, yours will be fixable. I wrecked my classic pickup about 12 years ago,. head on doin about 45mph, had to be flatbeded home, but was only out of commission for a week before it was back on the road. The other vehicle was totaled. Whats funnier, is the other driver had more injuries than my due to all the safety equipment in his car. I was able to walk away with only a couple of bruised ribs. They had to go to the hospital. I was never told what for. Now, you get into a wreck on the highway above 50mph, lets be honest here, most of us are going a minimum of 70mph regardless of the actual speed limit, not only is the car going to be totaled regardless of its age, but there is also a very low probability of you coming out of it alive let alone uninjured. Most wrecks at highway speeds tend to be extremely violent in such a way that the safety tech wont matter, and if ima die in a car wreck, I at least wanna die in something cool. Im sorry, but a smart car just isnt cool. Unless its been k-swapped in which case its just down right dangerous which is what makes it fun/cool. Now for some education since you dont seem to want to educate yourself on your own. 1st - Mercedes has always been an industry leader for new technology so they will always have the cutting edge tech for a few years before it trickles down into the rest of the industry. 2nd - Setbelts were first invented in 1959 by Volvo but wasnt made mandatory until 1968. Thats almost 10 years that seatbelts were an option that you could tick off on the order form when buying a new car. For that reason, there are still a ton of cars between 59 and 68 on the roads today that dont have seatbelts in them. However, even though they were optional, if your car was equipped with them, it was still mandatory for you to use them.

Yo Neil, how do you get such good renders for your thumbnails? TIA

o wow

I wish there were some modern cars that still had this classic flair. All cars nowadays are ugly. Every one.

You can just move your car to a different location

Love it

Hi neil

Hi

my car has been in 2 accidents and the frame is still straight along with suspension

Awesome

Cool

Its true if you crash a old car its a bigger chance to die but old cars is better in everything else i love the old cars design i wish they remade old cars with modern engines its a piece of art new cars is boring kompared to the old ones

Is the lack of throttle modulation because everybody plays using the keyboard as the controller or is that a BeamNG feature?

Why is no one talking about the car he fling into oblivion???

Use crash dummies please lol

Stop bullying the AI

hehe germen brick

here within 13 seconds sup neil

youd think you could talk and drive instead of spending a 1/4 of the 11 minute video on a bridge, stationary.

Name mod please?

What's the map name??

No they don't build them like they use to
