I'd really prefer the lighter green, kinda like the Pistachio. My cars sit outside and the lighter green would show less dirt when the dusty cars gets "dew'd" at night.
Thinking ahead.......
I think the 5 speed is the important bullet point on that car!

Funny, in that picture, at first glance the reflected VW headlight on the right looked like a hole/puncture in the rear 1/4 panel. Then the VW came into focus.

Yes, I own a chicken farm...so every 2 months, 125k chickens. I will add that every two months the chickens produce over 100k lbs of chicken "litter"...and with a digester, I can make a considerable amount of methane. Every 2 months about 30k gallons of it. So, the potential of converting a merc to methane...very interesting.

Good find! I have a 75kw gen presently, but am interested in complete off the grid from the methane. However, I'm stealing the thread so I'll hand it back hehe
