the octopus
 

is the nickname my friends have given my car. ::laughs:: its because of the unique feature of a 300D to release a cloud of dense acrid smoke, foiling tailgaters by stinking up their car.

im sure u know what i mean, just go to neutrel, full throttle, and puff, a black wall envelopes anything behind u.

heh, this is pretty pointless but its fun to do on a hot day when people have their AC cranked, and i dont even have any! on a mercedes!

We are just junkie diesel fans and environment polluters. hehe

Sometimes I've felt kind of silly for getting too much hooked on MB diesel cars.

When I was still in Vietnam (about 10 years ago), I watched a very long Italian movie (in series) called "The octopus". It was about the fight between an Italian policeman and Italy's notorious mafia. Great action and touching movie.
