Black M.....your "old gal" is 4 years newer than my 300E, and I agree with you: I wouldn't hesitate to take her cross country. You take a chance anytime you take a long-distance trip that something will go wrong. Personally, I'll put my faith in the ol' 124 to get me back home over a much newer Subaru or GM or whatever. I was stranded a few years ago in the Grand Canyon, not by a MB but a (super-reliable Japanese) Nissan Sentra, and it was not an inexpensive proposition, believe me. It's all relative folks. Drive what will protect you, not your wallet.
