Diesel Ute I was cleaning out my car and found evidence of a questionable past for this car. I'm keeping it a secret that this car was owned by such a person

On the contrary that is evidence for a fabulous car history, the car must be in pristine condition!

It was ivory when I bought it.

Wow, fantastic! I will say the parking at the U is criminal. Every year parking rates went up even though there was less and less student parking!

DieselUte, I thought you'd appreciate this picture of Lavell Edwards Stadium the morning after game day.

Oh man that's salt in the wound, way to rub it in! You'll be hearing from me when we win next time.

I expect more out of a die hard fan though, it's disappointing you don't have a blue Mercedes-Benz.

Nice. Keep her well oiled and with good rubber components and she will reward you with many more years of reliable service.

1st thing to do. VALVE ADJUSTMENT. this gets neglected so much and it's night and day difference after it's been done for the first time in years.

I'd love a China Blue or Chinese red Mercedes but when dealing with 30 year old vehicles my first choice is to lack of rust and previous collision damage .

Changing the color drives me crazy every time I lift the hood or trunk .

I envy those few who have the lovely pastel colors .

I've since been on a couple 150 miles round trips with this car and it's done just fine.
