I bought my car from a friend in New Mexico, just outside of El Paso. We hadn't seen them for a number of years so they decided they would deliver it to us in Alaska.
The same car has made numerious trips up and down the Alaskan Highway.

We've made the same trip in two other MB's, a '79 450sl and a c220. Although the 450 got the most stares, the 300d was the most comfortable.
