I saw this poor poor (looks just like my car so im assuming here) '85 300D turbo. No handles

body rusting

dirty

it was sad. And I looked at the driver and smiled.. ya know out here seeing any 300D is rare. And guess what he did in (and im assuming here too) his jelous rage... he flipped me off... so then i yelled at him to take care of his car, and not let it be run into the ground like that...
if i see it again, ill take a picture of it, it almost made me want to cry it was so sad.

Here in Texas, we'd a shot the bastard for abusing that animal, and the courts would have considered it justifiable homicide.

I saw something sadder: A 300D 123 sitting in a junk yard, getting dismembered, The body was almost rust free and the interior was beautiful. Wish I could have bought it before it got to the JY.

So what if the engine or trans was bad. These parts can easily be replaced. If the body is in good shape, any car can be repaired or mechanical parts replaced.

I would say that is probably not the normal reaction you would get from any older MB owner. You have met someone from the 1% group of human life.

hey now, im not an "older" MB owner and I would never act like that... I dont think he was the kind of person who really cared about his car. (I would love to have stolen his still in one piece first aid kit cover. He doesnt take care of his car and its in one piece, i do, and mine breaks

)

Point taken - put the context of "older" on the car not the driver

Guess I would be and older MB driver driving and old MB
