Very fine vehicle!!! We've both come a long way from some previous vechicles: I remember you had a Corvair with a front end that would shimmy at 60 MPH but run straight at 80+ and I had a Pontiac 389 that kicked out of passing gear at 102. Glad we're both still on top of the soil surface!
Damn we sure drove some junk --I remember had to list cars and pickups on a financial statement about 1979
I put down 7 value $2500 --load officer called and asked which one was worth $2500 I said ALL
Heck I was probably stretching the value of 7 at a $350 average
Remember would not change tires till cords showing BAD even the fronts ----
Always carried 2 or more spares --Heck bought used 3/4 wore out tires $1-$5 each
Would not park except on a hill so we could push start the vehicle
Luck is good till it runs out :-)

Had to add haven't top ended out the Mercedes yet BUT saw 130 --think that might be fast enough
