I picked my car up today from the shop. After about 3 months of repairs, I'm driving my beloved diesel benz again. Since it's been sitting up for so long, I drove it down to Galveston, TX (50mi each way from Houston) tonight to try to clear it out some, and to give it a "proving run". It ran like a champ. I love that diesel engine sound! I'll check the smoking in the morning to see if it is as bad as it was earlier today. I'm going to find someone to do a repaint on it, because it does not look as good as it should, and I'm going to get a new set of tires, and It will be good as new again. I'm going to probably go to the pick and pull and try to find myself an antenna motor, for mine is not operating now. I'll get some pics when I have some time.
