The 80s. My best friend had a 1982 240D with a 4-spd manual, and we drove it from Houston to Colorado. Going up we put the pedal all the way to the floor for 18 hours straight (80-85 mph) - car loved it. Once up there, we drove the mountainous backroads (dirt) with Jeep tours passing us in the other direction. Then we drove it home as we drove it up - hammer down all the way.

Nothing could kill that car. Amazing.
