Hear! Hear!
Under no circumstance should you ever consider approaching one of these vehicles!!!! You would be a fool to even waste your time looking or test driving/riding one!

The combination of engineering excellence, power plant capability, and the epitome of timeless styling will forever ruin you for the rest of your motoring life!!! You will spend an eternity searching to achieve that state of motive bliss that only this car can attain! The rush of endorphins that accompany such an experience has yet to be equaled buy modern pharmacopoeia! A fatal flaw is the feeling of fainting/vertigo that will often times overwhelm you on those days when your vision captures the exquisite silhouette as you approach these vehicles in a parking space! You are much more likely to be struck by a Ford or Honda in this state of euphoria than at any other time, (unless you are blind, deaf, and dumb traversing a mall parking lot on December 23)

Do not! I repeat Do Not! get behind the wheel on an interstate highway and drive above 75, 80, or even 90 MPH! Unless you possess superhuman self control the family and friends you've will have left behind will be posting your missing /wanted poster on milk cartons and diesel pumps across the nation for years!

Seriously though, if you like Mercedes Benz and you like diesel you’re going to love this/lust for, these vehicles. Every moment behind the wheel is indescribably delicious. The real deal - 86/87 300SDL 3.0 L six cylinder turbocharged diesel! 25+MPG at 75+ MPH all day and all night, 500+ miles between 20 gal fillups!
Yeah Baby!!! Highway Supernova!!

Good Luck!
