Re: "retirement" car

Our neighbor has been driving those big MB diesels for years. He buys 'em well maintained and continues the maintenance. He swears by them.

Re: "retirement" car

When I was 16 my dad had an ex Koren war half track. About 16 forward speeds. He was a general contractor and used it on the developements.

While takeing it to the shop for its annual do I was hit by a bus. A big metro type bus. Halftrack 1, bus 0. I think the driver thought I was going to get out of his way cause he was bigger. Wrong.

This thing had quarter inch plate finders.

JLaird: "This thing had quarter inch plate finders."

Sounds like my kind of car. Ever see W.C.Fields' "If I Had A Million"? He wins a fortune, and buys hundreds of cars so he can drive around and ram every bad driver off the road.

So, Tom, what was the final decision?
 
Re: "retirement" car

Tee: Love the MB idea, especially if it's a diesel. Very simple, sans ignition, you know. BUT, see my post re diesel fuel. We need a pres without the big business obligations (But is that possible???) :rolleyes:
 
Re: "retirement" car

feh. It ain't nothin' to do with who stands in th' Bully Pulpit. If it DID the price would be lower now, not increasing.
