Hello Everyone
I take great pleasure in sailing past the 4X4 and chrysler 300 that could not hold the road with a little ice on it. LOL
Fast is not the answer to ice on the roads, and a 4X4 has no better traction than any other vehicle. LOL
I try to explain this to other drivers, but they do not listen.

I had a Chevy Nova street rod behind me the other day, reving engine and honking his horn, he leaned out the window and screamed at me to get that POS out of his way, (heavy ice and slush on the road, top speed 15 mph).
I dropped it in 3, brake torqued it and let the turbo kick in for a moment as I released the brake, lovely rooster tail of slush covered his wind screen, oops.
He followed me to Mc Donalds and appologised for calling my 300SD a POS, I helped clean the slush off his windscreen.
The fellow is looking for a 300SD for himself now.
Have a great day.

Bring it on, David. I'll wipe the floor with you! BTW, it's pretty easy to spin tires on ice.

The 240D, yes. But the E300, which will be chipped soon, ummm, I don't think so. 218 hp, 303 lb-ft

Won't race until I hopefully one day get the smokescreen set up. I seriously want to do it but can't see putting even a small hole in my exhaust pipe. After the smoke screen equipment is installed, none of you could even see which was the finish line was!
By the way, who said peeling tires on ice didn't count? Mine chirps going into second if its raining! So take that.
David

We will have to start a "Smoker" contest!

The smoke is MUCH thicker now that I have two pumps injecting fuel into the exhaust.

This is an older picture. I'll post a newer picture later.

You guys already KNOW about me..

Alright, the revenge of the 2-valve per cylinder S-Class 603! Comparable with my own V8(which accelerates like a bat out of Hell from 100 mph +!).

Time to show off the 350 and 300.........If only I could ever attend such an event. Blast, I have school and a demanding inflexible occupation.

I'M READY FOR ANY W116 THAT COMES MY WAY, BE IT A 6.9 OR AN EVEN MORE DAUNTING ALDA BOOSTED 300SD!

---- In any of my beauties be it diesel or gasser.

I too am only DAYS from being 18 and am a senior in HS. It's great to see other young guys driving MB diesels and doing their own work on them! Most people our age will give you **** for driving a 20+ yr old car. It seems like they are all obsessed with their riced out civics or whatever. Can't stand that BS.

Do you younger guys get dirty looks from inferior car drivers like I do? I just wave at them, smile, and point at the hood star that still shines proudly!

Yes, most kids today are morons. ESPECIALLY the ones driving the ricemobiles with 20" chrome wheels and 1/4" thick diameter rubber, 80% tints, massive rear spoilers, and beaded cloth seated interior complete with multicolored fuzzy dice..
