Yes the speed limit was definitely messing me up for doing this tune up!

I will work on climbing some mountains with it

It just seems to have quite a bit of power and not much taxes it

there were three HP ratings on the OM616...

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
