As the Subject line says, I know I am preaching to the converted here,
but, I have to say that I continue to marvel at the quality of my old
Mercedes. It is 47 years old and has it's little idiosyncrasies, but it
is a darned good car. I won't be here to see what the current crop of
vehicles will be like in 47 years but I highly doubt they will match my
old car.
Some years I have driven it very little. This year, in the later summer
and through the fall, I have been driving it back and forth to my office
most days and I cannot help but be impressed. The diesel is of course a
bit noisy, but I sort of like listening to it. I don't have a radio in
the car at the moment but I likely wouldn't listen to it in any event.
It would mostly just be filler for the hole in the dash. It is no hot
rod but for the driving I have been doing, it is fine. I am in no risk
of being run down when I leave stop signs or traffic lights. It is a bit
disappointing that fuel has become more expensive than gasoline but the
car makes decent mileage so it is not that much of a penalty.
The car is about to be put away for the winter as snow is in the
forecast but such is life in the GWN. I need to get the winter tires
onto my truck this weekend.
