Is the wife not enamored of your diesel obsession?

If it needs to sit on the street,then the Volvo 240 or 740 wagon would be appropriate. I also like the late '80's BMW 3 & 5 series cars, but I wouldn't overlook the 300E either. Why won't you "fit" in a W124? I actually find it much easier to get comfy in my '87 300TD than the '84 300D, though I am only 6'.

Gasolene is such a pedestrian fuel, do you really want to go back there?
