Somebody had to say it. Nice to see that it is still burning up the road.

Not to cast judgment on traveling at that speed on North-American roads, do you feel it safe to be pushing a W123 to those speeds? Just sayin'...

Aww, dude, I was just ribbin'!! Thought the smiley face would impart that.
Damn communication without facial expression can be a ***** sometimes!!! Seriously, 1.3K is awesome. I started with an '82 SD and then had a couple SDLs. My fear with a later, more computer-reliant, car centered around the computer and electronic features of the vehicle rather than mechanical. All I can say is, this car is friggen' AWESOME!!! (Hey did you ever hit up Mercedes for your mythical "free Mercedes" for hitting the 1K mark? If so, what was their response?)

You were correct in that I kinda hijacked the thread, so I felt it was honourable and appropriate to move my posts.

Yep. I've read here and other places that MB will (supposedly) give a free current model counterpart to replace the million-mile vehicle.
I imagine it's bunk.
