Talking Hit a milestone this afternoon!!!

With the W124 no doubt!!!



Never owned a vehicle long enough to witness such an event...needless to say, the women in the household were puzzled over my excitement!!



Perhaps I should celebrate by fixing the ambient temperature display?

200K - cool! My W210 is at nearly 180,000. I could easily make that 200K by driving it for the next year, but it is currently a garage queen...

Oh, is that what that little digital numeric display is down there? AMBIENT temperature? I thought is was the temperature in hell judging from where mine sits all the time. Maybe I should fix mine, too.
