im taking the car in tomorrow. as it didn't pass SMOG in California. ??? i might just pay money to have them get it running like new and then maintain it from there.

i found an awesome shop in Burlingame in the bay area called ********e Shmid. and i know they understand Mercedes of our era because they have a freaking warehouse full of classic Mercedes.

some of them are for sale. i might buy a mid 70's 190D from them. in great running order just needs to be cleaned up
