Once you get over the horrible name you'll find a better diesel community here, and a better moderated site. Not that I'm knocking benzworld though; it has its strengths as well.

Hello! I'm Skid Row Joe, and I own a '99 E300TD. I like Mercedes-Benz diesels, and several brands of diesel motorcoaches. I travel much of the United States nowadays in my diesel motorcoach. Just love it!

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

welcome aboard!

I no longer have my diesel, but started on this board so I kinda feel more at home with these oilheads. Besides, I'm always on the lookout for my NEXT diesel...
