I haven't driven my W 123 300D for several months--my wife uses it because Diesel is so expensive 'cause of the whopping tax they put on it for Diesel truckers.

The other day I drove it. Mine has a fully restored suspension and brakes, and new front end and an engine and tranny from a 120K car. I literally forgot what a great Drive that car is.

It feels Solid and handles gracefully and has good acceleration and shifts smoothly.Its also very comfortable.

Why do they have to institute a stinking Tax for Diesel? Couldnt they relax it at gas stations for passenger cars? Could you imagine--Diesel at $ 3.69 instead of $4.69? Thats what it should be. What an inane goofy tax.
