Re: [MBZ] 190E

Absolutely!  I used to have a rusty 190Dc I drove in the winter and then i 
drove the nice 200D the rest of the year.  On those cars, the VIN was held 
on with two screws, So i would simply move the VIN plate and the license 
plates from one to the other!  Anyone who knew anything would have known 
the frame numbers didn't match, but it was good enough to fool troopers and 
insurance adjusters.  Now I keep the 240D as a winter/spare car.  It 
doesn't cost much to keep, and it isn't worth much on the market.  But with 
the new engine, it starts and runs like a new one.  If only it had a 4 spd 
or better yet, the coveted 5 spd.

Cool. That's what I'll tell the wife is why I have to keep the 240D -
it's the winter beater!
