Simple Pleasures, Chance Encounters
Ah, the simple pleasures of being a diesel MB owner....
So I'm driving to work, running a few minutes later than usual and therefore stuck in slower traffic. And what should appear ahead in the lane to my right but my exact car....a 2.5 Turbo, some shade dark blue. As I pass on his left, we exchange a knowing glance....I smile as I pass and give him a thumbs up. But then his lane overtakes mine and he is even with me again. He motions for me to roll down my window. When I do, he asks, "What year?" "92," I reply. "How many miles?" says he. "183," I say with pride, "And you?" "91, 282,000 miles," he replies with even greater pride! "Any rebuilds?" "Nope." And we both drive on our way. Many, including, perhaps, my wife, would suggest that I need to get a life. But that chance encounter made my morning!
