Gabriel, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and I guess I will again,
apparently you don't notice it but calling us morons constitues as a flame.
Your emails come off as VERY unpleasant.
I'm also stunned at your massive ego, you've been driving for 10 years and seem
to think you know everything. The only thing I know is that theres plenty I
don't know.
I've had 2 flat tires in my 11 years of driving. Once was a perfectly good tire
on my pickup that got a screw in it and started going flat at 90mph. I found
out about it when the handling on the truck got VERY squirrely. Fortunately the
highway was basically empty, it was 25 miles to the next exit.
The other time was a perfectly good tire on a trailer that caught a piece of
wire from a blown tire tread that came off the semi in front of me. I pulled
well off onto the grass because there was a flat spot, it was a good 50 miles
to the next exit.
One time the oil pressure sensor on my pickup went with no warning. Oil
pressure dropped immediately. I killed the engine and pulled over, it wasn't
busy so I could troubleshoot and continue with wildly fluctuating oil pressure.
The next exit was 15 miles...
All I can guess is that you've never actually BEEN anywhere to know that in
some places, unlike LA, you can go for a long time between exits. There have
been times I've driven places and gone an hour without seeing another car. I-95
in Maine north of Bangor comes to mind. Another was a highway that I can't
remember the designation of in Colorado. I-90 across New York state can get
quite lonsome sometimes too.

you should never even change your tire in the "emergency lane"...you
should
slowly drive to the next exit which is most likely less than half a
mile
away. Why the hell would you want to change a tire on the freeway? If
your
car can power itself to an offramp you should conduct all your business
off
the freeway.
Let me ask you this: Give me one (or a few) valid reason(s) why a car
should be stopped in the side of the freeway besides a freak breakdown
that
didin't occur becuse of negligence of maintenance on the owners
part....give
me one reason and i will tell you why and how it can be avoided almost
100%
I'll tell you this much, I've been driving for 10 years and in those 10
years have never:
1. had a flat on the freeway
2. busted a tire
3. had an accident
4. had to pull over on the side of the freeway
5. broken down to the point that i couldn't drive my vehicle home
god, i think this discussion is going to far...JJJ is right, we are a
bunch
of candy assed whiners...at least i am.

No, my turbo has a sliding sun roof. I've only seen two other 190D
turbos in the flesh, and I know one had a sliding sun roof--didn't
check the other.

As to pop-up sunroofs, the pop-up
was introduced to the 201 partway through the '87 model year. My 190D
2.5 had a sliding roof while my 190D 2.5 turbo had a pop-up roof. Some
'87 190D/Es had the pop-up roofs and some didn't - I THINK all the
turbos did, but I'm not sure of that.
