I do now.
I haven't taken the car up that fast. I got the tire balancing problem solved but the steering alignment needs to be done. Once that's done......

I will bring the car up to the bay area once I get the 240D sold so I can focus on restoring that car.

Either way a 240D is too slow for 80mph average speed traffic. It just wasn't designed for it. 240D manuals are rare on the peninsula?
