Those cars made it fun and also doable. I could get in one in the morning and drive 600 miles stopping only for fuel ,a cup of coffee and occasionally a meal, and get out of those cars rested, alert and ready to go to work.
70k a year! Wow. If I was spending over 45 full days a year in my car it would for sure be a MB!
