It sounds very nice! I'm jealous.
They're the best used MB diesel ever made to date.

I recognized this when I took a brand new '05 CDI on a test drive when they hit the market.

From what I've learned about them during the past 11 years, there's nothing even close to them.

Skid Row Joe. Thanks for the tip on compact spare, I will do that Monday or look at MB Asheville NC. As for ambient light how do I explain; it is defused light coming out of front and rear light fixtures on the ceiling. Nice feature in my view but GL has it much better.
OK State won (my alma mater). Good game not lopsided where you know the outcome 30/27 score.

A fellow alum of mine from military academy, attended OSU in Stillwater. John Groendyke from Enid. John invited me up for a game to his suite a couple years ago. I really like the city and campus in Stillwater. I started my career 42 years ago in Stillwater - so it'll always be special to me.

I guess I don't notice what the problem is with the lighting interior system is???

Ambient lighting? Think of it as very low-lumen mood lighting. I may decide to turn it off...but for now it's pretty cool.

They want $550 for spare Donut at MB Ashville parts website. I will visit Dallas area junkyards when it cools off a bit.
