That's true, especially for us Pacific Northwesterners traveling mountain

The turbo engines do indeed stand out when you're at a significant

We have 2 turbos and and 2 NA diesels, all running
well. I think I might prefer the NA as simpler, more
drivable, and more maintainable cars for daily

I managed to sell the '78 300CD today. It was a fine car in the six months

first car, and in his words, "a nice, solid machine!" Shortly, I'll be in
the market once again for another Mercedes diesel with at least 4 doors
