I just saw a MB 240D (a pre 80 model) with a license plate from Texas, parked down town Montreal

looking inside the car it look like it was drove here (pillows, covers, some food, the usual stuff when you take long drives)

Took a quick look on mapquest is at least 2000 miles drive
The colour was fading blue (not a dark blue but a sky blue) and the outside looked like it needs a bit of loving

Look in or around Skagway, AK and you'll find a champagne '85 300TD sporting Texas plates stuffed with Thing One's worldly posessions. It got there this spring from Coram, NY via Austin, TX (1876.4 miles) and McMinville, OR (2343.5 miles). Total distance? 6270.4 miles.

You might see a 1981 300TD with California plates up your way in about a month and a half. Sadly, "outside looked like it needs a bit of loving" would probably apply to this one too .
