Pulled into the MB dealer - Dick Dyer in Columbia. Lots of wide-eyed looks from the service team when they saw all 3 of us pull in with our Diesels. Thought it was really cool that our 15 year old uses the 87 wagon as a DD.

They gave us a C250 loaner and said they would be able to get to them today.

Hoping no long term damage done, they all drive fine as long as you don't hot restart them. I told them when I pulled in, don't shut them off or you will have a heck of a time getting them restarted.
