If we're doing states we've been to by means other than our Benzes, here's mine. Green is still the 300D. Blue includes the additional states I drove my '86 Lincoln Town Car in, and yellow is for states I visited by some other means, either a different car or arrived by air.

Hey, I picked up my 240 in FL and drove her home to Albany. Last summer's road trip to Wyoming was awesome! Plus of course some "local" skirmishes into VT, MA, CT, and NJ.

The next trip is going to be to Tey-has for one of those watermelon-sized steaks I hear about...

This thread is fun, I'm glad you asked.

Not very many. My count is only seven states, big ones, but the mileage total is over a half million.

Zach just made it from Kansas to California in the $500 CWC Rotchester. That is quite a car. 27MPG with cold AC. Just a bit of rust, though.

The car was originally from New York!

Of course, I have to put diesel in the title since I don't want it in the zoo of OD.
