Two college (around 20's) both owning W123 Diesel, one was a 240D and the other is a 300D Turbodiesel. both were talking to each other untill i pass by with my 300SD they stop talking and they both stare as my 300SD pass by them (i was doing 15 MPH in a 25 MPH) So how rare is it to see college girls love their old Diesel BENZ!!!

the funny thing is that, they are very good looking cars they are neat clean and still retained their hub caps on the 240D and the suspenison is not sagging, i ll see how that car looks in a week (they live really close to me)

Ouch. Didn't realize the fact that my 87 was given to me as a hand-me-down when I was a college girl made me "dumb." And for what it's worth, I did pretty well with those prehistoric books ...

Maybe they have boyfriends who are forum members and W123 enthusiasts?

Zing of the day at Gen Y seanarcher. I really don't think we're the dumbest, it just appears that way.

When I was in college/university, I think I've seen 4-5 w123s total. Some of them on a regular basis, some rarely. Only one or two were owned by guys, some had female drivers, and then the rest I just saw were parked at the parking lot w/o any driver.

Man that was two years ago already...

I sort of meant the above tongue in cheek, but who could have known that

I have a friend - and it seems so not like her - but she owns, rides, and maintains a Ducati.

Last year I saw at least 5 around Berkeley, go figure.

When I was in Los Angeles in June I lost count of how many w123 I passed.

Back home in PA I've seen only two. A 300D and my first wagon in person (300TD).

I've seen a 240D in ithaca with a bunch of bumper stickers. It nearly made me puke!

No i'm sure your not. Some years ago a very cute girl in a very loud 300/240D passed me on I-395 and gave me a thumbs up....I regret to this day not figuring out some way to signal her to pull over for a coffee and conversation
