Quite a few errors and misquotes, unfortunately, but I understand its difficult keeping 4 cars straight. My biggest worry is with grandmother, who calls the Benz "an extended loan then inheritance when she dies", and while the Lebaron story is true, that's not exactly how it happened.

Also, the 83 300D needing a head gasket??? Nope... That was the 95 E320 which is a gasser... not a diesel. The 500sl was not my first car given to me at 16. It was a very nice Dodge Dakota at 15 which I kept through high school. Of course, he maid the rookie mistake of failing to differentiate biodiesel and WVO as well. Good article overall, I suppose.

He should be posting pictures with the online article sometime soon, and I will see it in print later this morning.
