240D at the post office

I pulled into a parking spot at the post office, ran in to check my PO box, came out and there is a old 240D sitting next to my car idiling.. I check it out, it's red with black interior, 4-speed odometer shows 365k miles.. I get in my car and wait for the owner. Older guy in a suit and tie comes out, so I say "nice car!!" he says yeah, its falling apart, but I love it! I say I have an 82 300D.. he asks how many miles.. I say mine is just a baby with 220k. He says oh wow, this car has over 650,000 miles.. odometer stopped working years ago.. this is my 2nd car, my 300D is always in the shop he added. We said goodbye and he went on his way. Just thought it was a cool story!
