Because my first car left an impression (1985 300D). And my family has about 15 Mercedes diesels altogether. Dad's in the car sales business. They're all OM603, and a few OM606.

My other handle is pcar924-T. Because the 924, even with it's VW van engine, offered a pure driving experience, and was my first time behind the wheel of a Porsche car I could buy cheap enough to call my own.
