That is why I have so many cars. When I get tired of one I move on to another, pretty soon Im ready for yet another car, its the circle of life. Exactly my sentiments! Recently I've been driving the SL again, and tonight my wife and I ended up caravanning home. (She in the 300Dt.) On the

I blew right past her. No matter how pleasant to drive, you can't do that in the Frankenheap! I love the periodic change of steed. The difference is just as pronounced in the SD and the Cummins Diesel. The SD is faster than the old NA 300D/CD's, but that Cummins with it's 325hp and

Back in my college years, when all I had was the stately pace of the 200D, I loved going for a fling on my R75/5. Cures the need for speed that keeps most people away from the steady pace of a 200D or 240D automatic. Kinda similar to when I lived in Hawaii, Whenever I had enough heat, I'd

We finally had a nice weekend here in Wichita (after getting an inch of snow a few days prior), so I wanted to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. I mowed the yard and washed and waxed my car. I spent a few hours (waxing a LWB 126 is a serious effort). I cleaned the tires and wheels and treated
