Anyone ever air a 123 car?

I aired a '73 Volvo 144 about 20 years ago. Shocks made helluva noise for 3 or 4 cycles. Anyways, I've been getting sideways on dirt in my 240D, thinking about driving up berms, don't know what the itch is.

If you mean get airborn, I am pretty sure I have. If you have good springs and shocks it will be without drama. The car may not even bottom its suspension.

You will fly, you will land level and you will continue without drama.

Thats just how a benz is designed.

Done that, not as bad, beater volvo 244 vs jersey wall, 1993 or 4 changed lanes too fast in the snow. Dents & scrapes on the side, re-did alignment, cranked the camber as close to spec as it would go.
