Not a fan of the Lovecraft conversion, but I've said it before. As regards ebay prices, stop the b*tching and start selling.

What's to complain about? Most if not all of us here own an MB diesel now. If people are paying 10x what you've paid, that means you're a smart investor. And what's bad about that? If your car is better than such and such MB on ebay, take 60 pics and sell yours for $15,000!

Oh, you say your car is not for sale (mine sure isn't)? Then just be happy with the fact that should the need arise, you have quite a cash cow on your driveway for emergencies.

Would y'all be happier if a minty 300D could be had for $200 on ebay? They'd be using them in demo derbies then, and they'd go extinct!!
