I am sure that you wil have a lot of fun driving, tinkering and just communing with your diesel.
Political discussions and good natured ribbing aside, the people on this board are excellent and have a lot of great information on how to keep your car running the way it was meant to.

You should also join the Mercedes Benz Club of America at mbca.org, go to your local chapter meets and learn from your local people.

One word of warning -- if you are not careful you can become obsessed with these cars and start collectinng a bunch of them
