my mercedes testimonial

So after a weekend trip last weekend I now have alot to say about my car. I have been driving the 300sd for awhile now waiting for the injectors to come back for the 300d. I havnt really been to trusting of it, and dont drive it out of town. The car has alot of small problems, and I fear what could come far from home. Well we went on a trip last weekend that was 1 1/2 hours away, and I knew I was coming back for a truck pull on saturday. So I decided to take the risk and drive my car that hasnt been drivin much in the last 3 years. So all in all I drove a total of 340miles without a problem. I have a new found trust in the car, and am loving the fact that I still had 1/4 of a tank left after driving 340 miles. The trip yielded 25mpg with 50/50 65mph highway and 55mph. Now im just sorting out some climate control vaccum leaks tonight and am buying a parts car to fix the interior. Just felt like letting you know how impressed I am with my vintage mercedes. And by the way I still love the look I get when people hear the clatter comming and look up to see a truck and are shocked to see an old mercedes... Sorry for being long winded, but I just wanted to share my love for the vintage diesel mercedes.
