I thought I was willing to put up with a lot of old car issues-not like Squiggle Dog.

I used my '77 240D as a daily for about three years and 24,000 miles before the front seal on my '83's transmission got bad and I used the 240 for a donor. My use of the 240 included numerous trips to San Diego and back when I was working out of state, as well as a trip to Atlanta and back to visit family.

I don't know if my '83 counts as a classic, but it's my ride whenever I'm not on my motorcycle. I had a '71 250 for several years, but that POS never made it to daily driver status. I sold it to an older guy who wanted to restore it for $315 and drove it to his house on five cylinders.
