Spring drive in my 240 D.

Decided to take a drive today in the 240 D.

It had been covered for about two weeks during all these storms so I wasn't sure how it would respond to being uncovered in these 65 degree temps.

It showed me it liked the temps and cruised at 55 mph all the way up into the Smoky mountains national park with the AC on high.........smooth as silk with plenty of power to spare it seemed.

What a nice little car it seems...

Could not resist a couple shots by the river...........

Nice looking car!

I test drove a 240 that looked just like that a few years ago.....thats when I decided I needed a turbo.

65F temps? Are you serious? I used my SD trouble free all winter in temps from -10 to 20F.....for months! Its still only about 33 out most of the time right now.
