Well, OK Don and Curt agree - beat the AKP-Wagen into the ground and keep the
SD for Saturday errands, Sunday drives and road trips. No sense getting a
gasser to beat on when I can beat on a 240D...I like the car, even though it's
a heap - part of the charm, PLUS I use it as a learning tool. Not being to
mechanically inclined, I do things to it I would not attempt on the SD or TD -
like my upcoming valve adjustment. Looking forward to it.
So I guess letting the SD sit during the week won't hurt it too much if it is
driven on the weekend?
THanks for the advice.

going to be VERY hard on any car, why not make it hard on a car thats
disposible?
Alternately sell it for $500 and pick up a cheap gas car to beat on...

he might, but the question here is, SHOULD I sell it. Obviously I
have to decide that myself, but haven't been able to..the only pro to
keeping it would be to reduce wear and tear on the SD for these very
short trips to work...
ESSENTIALLY: Is the wear and tear of a 6/10 of a mile drive 2 times a
day on the SD worse than letting the SD sit 5-6 days/week?
