Surreal Mercedess Diesel Dream

After the family left last night I got comfortable and turned on the idiot box to watch most of the last two quarters of the Cowboys/Cardinals game. Expecting to see the Cowboys win a football game these days is a dream in itself, but since it was Christmas, maybe a miracle would take place.

Just as it looked like a miracle might take place with a third string quarterback, the place kicker changed all that by missing an extra pont kick. Neve a dull moment with Jerry Jones boys.

At any rate, I fell asleep immediately after the game was over. I dreamed that I was turning the key and my 240D starter was turning the motor, but it wouldn't start. My 240D always starts immediately, but the starter was turning and turning, then it finally started. At that point, I woke up and saw a red 300TD on the idiot box screen.

What a strange dream for my subconscience to recognize a sound on the idiot box and associate it with a real sound from my daily life.

I thought that you people on this Diesel Discussion forum might could appreciate such a dream.

I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas.

... precognition to problems starting your car? a sign to have your glow plugs tested?
what was up on the screen with the red TD?

That looks like the car that was on the TV, but I have no idea what program was on. I immediately turned it off and went to bed.

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. It seemed very diesel specific.
