I must. It does. I am.
My 240D spends a lot of time floored. Fortunately, I plan on it becoming the tranny donor for my 300D's manual conversion in the near future. I feel kind of bad about killing a car that I just took on a five thousand mile road trip, but the body is pretty badly rusted and the interior is shot.
