How many states has your Diesel covered?

I had a fun little aside with this in another thread and thought it would be interesting to see where everyone has been in their MB diesel.

Start with this blank map, fill it in the states you've traveled with color, and post.



Here is mine for Ol' Turbo. The Red is my upcoming road trip next month.

Here's my current visited states by my '82 300SD....it has also been to Ontario Canada a few times, both from Detroit and by way of the Upper Peninsula.

So far I don't have any road trips out of state planned, but I'd like to....I'll have to work on getting wife approval.




People never realize how huge MI is, driving from the furthest tip of the Upper Peninsula to the border with Ohio is over 650 miles.

Red is me, blue is my dad ... or at least my best guess of where he took it when it was his daily driver. This is the 87, of course ... the 78 I have no idea where it's been ... other than Delaware, Pennsylvania and Germany.

Yeah it's quite a long haul just to get to the middle of the state!

This one is for the '83. Green is where I've driven it. Blue is for states where I know it's been with PO's.

What's up with avoiding West Virginia? Scared of us?

Here's mine... The red is what I have done in Rudolf the wonder SDL.
The stripes are what I also covered with the late lamented Bruno my '81 SD. Next up will be Kentucky and Tennessee next time I go to the outlaws in Ill. I also must cross the Mississippi soon...

Duh

OK, so am I the only stupid one who can't figure out how to access the map? How do you select it, and add different colors?

I have personally driven Coda in the states in purple.

EDIT: 07/01/2009 --- Modified map to take out the "off topic" stuff. Coda has service records (and low miles usage) in the Chicago area, so we know she has an interesting past.

Crossing the Mississippi River

You know, there is a nice long bridge crossing the Mississippi River that starts in Memphis, TN. I bet if there were enough Benzes that showed up to do it on ONE day, something special could be arranged. Now, see what you've done, Tyler!!! You've got me thinking about hosting a GTG with a special ring to it.

These are the states I've driven my sedan in. I know for the first 23 years of its life, it was an exclusively California car (thank you, Blue plates!). The wagon has just been my commuter between New York and Pennsylvania. I have no idea where its been, despite its Cali plates as well.

it looks like you can use Theodora to do it, but I did a copy paste in to Microsoft paint, filled in the states with the paint bucket, uploaded and posted them.
