I liked the 240D that I built for my daughter so much, that I started looking for a diesel for me. I wanted an 80s 300CD. I found one and flew up to Maryland (actually flew to Wash. DC) and picked it up this weekend and drove it back to Savannah. This is the first time I've been on a plane since 1976, and the first time my 16yr old son has ever been on a plane. He was pretty scared. Actually, when the plane started taxing into position, I checked his heart and it was racing pretty fast. The only thing I was scared about was how my stomach felt a couple times . Anyway, was a great flight. The owner picked us up at Washington Dulles Int. and drove us up to Laurel, MD. New right away I had a gem and after looking it over and a test drive to confirm it I bought it on the spot. The only problems were a few cracks in the dash (common problem on the 123s) and a loose wire which I fixed this morning. Drove the son back to DC and we spent the day sight seeing. The White House, Lincoln memorial, Wash Mall, etc. Even went to an art museum (Corcoran Gallery). Drove home afterwards. Got pulled over in Virgina (my son did, and this is when I discovered the loose wire ) and North Caroline (me), both times for no tag. Showed my purchase papers and was on my way (BTW, we spent the whole day driving around in DC with all it's security and no tag, and never got pulled over ). Car drives like a dream, the turbo comes in nicely and pulls hard and fast.

Anyway, here's the pics I took this morning. Tag in the picture was freshly transfered over from a Olds Omega I gave to my oldest son. GA requires you to keep your tag now and transfer it to any new vehicle.
