ok so i decided that the mileage was killing me on my bored out 88 blazer and my poor mercedes has been sitting for at least nine months. well i decided it was time to send her to greater pasture or fix. any mercedes nut is gonna do just what i did and fix her up. amazingly i got everything on the car working again except my blower motor but boy i was excited. so excited i took a 15 hr trip to fayetville and the 6 hrs to ocean city maryland two days after i got her running. it was a great trip. my only problem was a belt sliped off because silly me forgot the spacer which was sitting in my glove box. the car ran flawlessly through the mountains and tough roads of NC. what a blast. if thats doesnt say how great these cars are i dno what does.
