Saturday morning I fly out of DFW to Wilmington, NC to pickup my new 1998 E300D and then turn around and drive back to Fort Worth by Sunday night so I'm well rested and ready for work Monday morning. I'll have my Valentine1 on for sure.

I found a couple of gas stations east of Augusta that sell biodiesel so I'm thinking I make a pitstop there to fill or at least partially. I don't want to clog the fuel filters on my first trip, the pre-sale inspection already has said to replace the fuel filters. I'm bring a new one (and pre-filter) with me, but rather not have to deal on the road with minimal tools, etc..

I'm kicking myself now for selling my '79 300TD with < 100K on the engine, but I didn't have the cash at the time to fix up and couldn't park it on the street anymore. Someday I'll get something similar again for now my 7 year old for their first car.

I've enjoyed your photos and tales of your cross country adventure, thank you for sharing.
