To make it into a community (co-op) farm I could see it. I know little to nothing about growing vegetables, so how viable it is for what they propose is beyond me. It is Colorado, so it’s quite sunny most of the year. Maybe that’s how they get around the shade issue? Lots more sun, even indirect

Yeah, it’s a really great car in a lot of respects, as it seems to bridge the reliability and ease of service from the W210s to the complexity and difficulty of service of later models. While this particular car is a little “tired”, so to speak, it’s still got some miles left in it if properly
