I'm wallpapering my dining room, please report my smoking car to the emissions authorities.

Off-topic, but I once saw an old Dodge Dart with the slant-6 and it's license plate was "SLOPAR." Classic.

Thanks alot guys for all of those idea, if you have any dont feel scared to tell me, THE MORE THE BETTER

Yes, It's a Diesel not an ill running gasser


how many times people have came up to me and said "Sir your car sounds like its running rough". So I pop the fuel door open and shop them the diesel fuel only sticker and let them smell the cap... tards like the badge on the trunk is not enough

I get a lot of that, but more in the Jeep than the Benz ... I think most people have some idea that MBs made diesels. Even then, the 603, when warm, is a fairly subtle "clatter" and doesn't scream "diesel," so I guess some people just figure it's an awkwardly running gasser. The Jeep is very quite, for a diesel, so a lot of people won't even believe me when I tell them it's one ... but it certainly sounds different from a gasser, especially at throttle. So people think it's too quiet to be a diesel and must be a malfunctioning gasser. They look at me like, "WHAT did that chick do to her Jeep?!!"

Don't sweat him C. He's been "on a roll" lately..........

It is really funny to watch people stop and jerk their head around when walking in front of the car when I start it. The sound really catches them by surprise, and I must admit to sometimes waiting a second or two for them to be in optimal position......

The 5 cyl. wagon certainly has much more of a diesel klatter than the 240, but both will cause wide eyes and a neck snap from time to time......

That guy must be a really dumb one...

Here's another one (and I might get picked on for this):

Mercedes-Benz diesel: See you in a million miles.

Yeah, I KNOW most of them don't get a million miles (well, except the ones being sold on eBay ... I mean those sellers wouldn't lie, right?) ... but it's the spirit of the thing. It's a bumper sticker; a little fantastical charm won't hurt.

Ok So far the funniest is Chysler... Whoops, but i still dont get it...

And the Best Serious one so far is Mercedes BEnz Diesel:

SEE YOU IN A MILLION MILES

chrysler was bought by MB parent Diamler about 6 years ago for 40BBBBILLLION, and it's worth about 7B now... and they are trying to dump it.
