Passengers were all under 155# and really for two women they kept it down. I kept them on their toes by saying there wouldnt be any room for anything. Actually the w201 was probably designed to get two golf bags into the trunk-- there is a lot of room back there.

I like the bike rack theory. BUT-- I was burning black smoke on hard takeoffs like when I had to get across an intersection. Is that a IP symptom? I really wonder if my VCV on the back of the IP is doing what it ought. It is extremely hard to service and so get very little attention.
