If You Know What I Mean IYKWIM
Well, here is some GOOD news out of Washington, D.C.:
WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush unveiled an aggressive initiative Monday
that would make the U.S. free of petroleum dependence by the year

There's the trick: use the shifter to keep the RPMs up (shift it
manually). Just be careful when going about 20 mph and jamming it into L,

LT Don, try this: a/c on, start in D (second gear) AND on a steep hill
(welcome to Pittsburgh, PA). You can time it with a calendar.
A bit slow off the line, especially if the air conditioner is going,
but fine after that. Cruises quite comfortably at 85 mph.

Murder in traffic? Naw, you just have to plan ahead (like a day or two)
before merging in traffic. Yes they are terribly slow but what do you
want for 62 horsepower?

LoL! Power EQUIPMENT? Does that include the engine?
I have heard that automatic 240Ds are murder in traffic.
Issit true?
If he kills her, I guess I have to think really hard about wanting
grandkids.
I would love to get that w113, but a sprinter is more reasonable for
the boss. Then again, she may want a CDI, so I would be in the w124.

Yup - I've had to replace regulators on two of my Mercedes - they are the
only two I've owned that had manual windows! The electric windows just need
switches cleaned/replaced every once in awhile.

Don,
Even manual windows have cranks and regualtors that may break. So there!
I have had very little problem with the PW systems on any of the cars
that had them. Mercedes electrical stuff is very rugged and
dependable.

Hi Gary,
No I won't be bidding but I thought I asked anyway, is that some sort of
leak in the first picture or the remains of a car washing job?
