Turbodiesel action shots

Hey all, took a 1,000 mile road trip over the weekend through the Ozarks. Saw some beautiful areas, snapped a couple of pics. Just sharing them, not much else to it. Car ran perfectly, AC ran great, no problems.

Great pictures! I like the fuel station shot. My wife thinks it odd that I look at cars getting fueled at gas stations on the internet.

Look, it's a completely natural thing to do. Women look at cars getting fueled at gas stations on the internet sometimes, too, even if they won't admit it.

I think the pictures feed my Wanderlust. They makes me think of where I could be after burning one tank of fuel in my MB...

Nice pics. If you ran veggie oil, you wouldnt be at that pump tho

(you'd be in some parking lot pouring goop into the trunk spilling half of it on your shoes)
