Look at this pictures of a 600SEC's interior

In case your not familiar with a 600SEC, it is a car made by mercedes benz from the 70's to the mid 90's I believe. It is a coupe version of the S class but it has more presence and a bigger price tag and more technology. Unlike the S class, you don't see many of these on the road today. The 600sec has a 6.0 v12 engine that follows mb's naming scheme at the time and it has the timeless attention grabbing squared edges that a lot of mb's had in the mid 90's. But what drew my attention is the interior, more specifically all the buttons and switches. Just try to figure out what all the switches and knobs and buttons do. There's even more at the top of the ac vents, it's like the 600sec is from alternative steam punk dimension where we have technology but no touch screens

I think 2 of the switches are to recline the seats back and 2 others are to control the heated/cooling seats and another is to lock the doors, I'm not sure what the little knob is for on the lower left and I believe the numbers are for a phone or some sort of fax/pager. I would love to own a 600sec and sit in it for hours just trying to figure out what does what. It would amuse the nerd in me but the car itself would be so expensive to maintain among with the insurance and registration(nevermind the gas mileage) as it was a $140,000 car when new in 1993 and that's in 1993 money, adjust it for inflation and it's $236,000.00 dollars. Yeah 236K, although the used car prices are 95% of that
