What kind of fuels can you run your gas car on? oh, just gas. Sucks.

Bring the unfinished diesel. We all enjoy a work in progress. If I had a diesel(on the list), I'd bring it, but for now, I'll bring my 380SE Geezer (I mean Gasser, I'm the Geezer...LOL!).

Aren't we worth paying though the nose to see

Does the 230E take regular or premium? I thought Euro 230Es took regular.

He drives it too hard.... Ive seen the way he drives.... Maybe if he cools it like I do, he can get in the twenties.....

Since the new motor has gone in, I have been getting 26mpg city/freeway combined driving!

What a crock or should i say "WROCK"....the 230E BEST MPG was 17pmg it gets 14-15mpg.....my gf drove it and drives slow and gets the same....it takes 91 or higher so no regular....and keep in mind when it got the 17-18mpg i had to lean out the oc/fuel mix way to much ...to the point it would stall at lights if i didnt put it in neutral.

and with those rims i dont think you can have a correct guess buddy ol pal ol chum.

1. Perhaps we should get kind of a list updated as to who will be joining up at the West Sacramento IKEA that morning for the "wagon train" to Santa Rosa, and the route, either off Highway 80 to 12, or down to 37 and across (which would be my preference.)

2. And Garrett, (though I would very much like to see either of your new cars) I'd urge you to bring the Diesel down.

Not only will it be thriftier and you like driving it more, in its present condition, NOBODY is gonna argue with you over the right of way, with that car looking like that you OWN right of way.

People will scatter like crows when they see that car coming: you will LOVE it.

It's a good feeling, I know it, I used to have an '86 Chevy Cavalier 2.0 wagon like that which I bought for $325 at the SFPD abandoned/towed for tickets car auction a few years ago.

$hit dog eat a milk bone that car was one ugly pile of f**k.

But I LOVED driving that around San Francisco, across the Bay Bridge. Nobody, and I mean *NOBODY* farked with - or challenged me - when I was using it.

Great feeling.
