I've always like diesel cars/trucks, not sure why. The smell, fact that it's different, reliable? I don't know what it is but I initially started looking at diesel cars as my first car because of the aforementioned reasons. I got a benz as opposed to a TDI VW because everybody my age in my town owns a VW riced out to the max and I didn't want to own a VW too. So then I saw the back of a W123 once that said turbodiesel... Hmmmm... I bought an '82 W123 a year later. Drunk driver broadsided me and I wasn't hurt
miraculously. I then got speed fever and got a WS6 trans-am, sold it because I commute around 90 miles a day to school (diesel school
) and already have my domestic muscle car fixin's with my '67 oldsmobile, and got a 1987 W124. Haven't looked back since then! Everyone loved my W123 and loves my W124
