Sybill, car of many personalities...

The SDL is officially part of the fleet; she's named "Sybill."

Why? Because driving that sinister-looking SOB will definitely bring out any of your other personalities lurking within.

Oh yeah!

Sybill is a good name too. Despite the size of this beast, she's nimble.

Sheesh...I guess trying to find the PO's service records is probably out of the question:

CARFAX searched more than 3 billion records from over 5,300 sources and found 16 record(s) for this 1987 MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SDL (WDBCB25D3HA313160).

From the late GREAT Rodney Dangerfield,
"I bought a used car last week. Found my wife's dress in the backseat...."

The stories Sybill probably could tell.

Hehe, a "Randy Switch" may not be necessary; I drove Sybill to work and to a lunch meeting today without so much as a beep out of her.
