I have seen that fellow as well. I get whiplash every time I pass him

On the other hand, my '72 250 which I bought in '74 started to use oil
at
about 65K miles. Might have been valve seals but I never found out.
The noisy CV
joints at that mileage and 14 mpg were enough and I bailed out after
driving
it about 20K miles.
But today, I followed a '72 220D for a mile or two in north Seattle.
Aside
from the noxious black cloud coming out the tailpipe, it looked like a
pretty
decent car. Under all the dirt I could see fairly shiny dark green
metallic
paint, an undamaged and straight bumper, brakelights that were not
full of diesel
schmutz, normal rear camber and a darkish tan interior. And a big for
sale
sign in the rear window with no price. Tempting.
