Re: [MBZ] 1981 300CD update, good news!

When I bought the '78 300CD, my sisters and I were driving it up to Oregon 
from Southern California at near 80MPH at some points.  It felt right at 
home.  We also had one of my nieces with us who was a rear seat passenger 
the whole way.  I started out in the front passenger's seat (if I could 
drive I would have been in that seat for sure), but I also spent some time 
in the back which wasn't too bad once I got there.  Since both of my sisters 
are 5'1", the seats were positioned forward enough to provide adequate leg 
room.  If the front seat occupants are much more than 5'3", it gets a LITTLE 
tight back there (not recommended for long trips).  All of this being said, 
it's a wonderful car to cruise around in, and MUCH shorter than my Dodge 
quad cab long bed  pickup!
