Living in the grease pit of Louisiana, Mississippi, ETEX and Arkansas I'd sure consider it.

Bot - that reminds me of my first Benz, the 250. It was a gasser, but last I knew, it was still being driven. It had been repainted, new floor fitted, engine overhaul (uppers only), etc. but it would not die. I even got hit by a 5-ton Hydro truck during an ice storm, the impact knocked me right through an intersection, yet it only generated a dent and popped the trunk. 
Those 'early' models were true tanks.
