Wow, she is a bute, she wasn`t there when I first posted, we must have posted about the same time.

Looks as good and any of those other cars in the neighborhood.
Well actually you brought some Class to the neighborhood.

Heh, the forum kept his attachment post invisible until I could evaluate it. New members aren't allowed to post links or attachments! Now that I've approved his beautiful post, he's good to post as many pics as he can take of the car...


Start taking pics... We wanna see them!

the only appropriate winter car is a late 70s gold Pontiac firebird esprit. Of course, I am certain you already knew this.

Welcome to the forum! You'll become very attached to your wagon if you are anything like other w123 (which is the MB designation of your chassis; regardless if it is a wagon, coupe or sedan) wagon owners. It looks great from your pic. Is it turbo charged or NA? 1981 saw the change over from NA to turbocharged in the wagons so it could be either one- the coupes and sedans did this in '82. Please ask questions and post pics! I've had three wagons and still own an '84.

I think the owners manual for that car is like 17 pages long I love the simplicity of the older cars.

I know, right? The owner's manual from my old 300D is ~50 pages. The one from my '94 Buick is ~200 pages, the one from our '04 Corolla is ~290 pages, and the one from my mom's '08 Sienna is 500+ pages!

Something I've noticed is the newer owner's manuals seem to have been partially written by lawyers, because they are filled with warnings in yellow boxes that are usually something like, "Do not stick your head in the glovebox and then attempt to close the glovebox door. Serious injury or harm may result."

I mean, like, holy cow! I had n o i d e a that I shouldn't do that! No wonder my head hurts so much!
