Segue to age of vehicles driven - sorta... Today, I drive a 1984 240D with clutch - 27 years old. We drove the rusted 1975 Chevy Nova to the junk yard in 2006 - 31 years old. When we married in 1974, I purchased a 1965 Chevy - 9 years old. In 1984 when the family had numerous kids, we drove a 1974 VW Transporter - 19 years old. In 1987 when the family still had numerous kids, we drove a 1984 Chevy diesel van - 4 years old. I could never have imagined that I would drive a 27 year old car when I purchased our first car in 1974 - that would have been a 1947 car? Yet my kids drive a 28 year old 240D - older than they are. Odd... the older I get, the older the car I drive becomes? Seems opposite to what seems practical, but I don't see any cars on the road today that have any safety advantage to W123. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
