It's his personal car... it's coming up on 400k miles and all it's had was valve seals. Gets 29 MPG every tank he puts through it. >If it was me, the E300 wouldn't have stayed in my stable long enough for >the low coolant light to come on. 95 E300Ds are supposed to be a fantastic >reliable car, and his is trying real hard to not be reliable. Sadly, MA has a lemon law. If I could unload it for close to what I paid for it without fear of retribution, I would have. At this point I'm just hoping it's a hose or something. The fact of the matter is that the car drives beautifully, when it's drivable. It's very hard to stay mad at. >JB isn't as fun to mess with as John.

Truth be told, I'm no better, probably worse >even, since there's no wife to complain that there is no parking within >a couple hundred yards of the house, so random things tend to follow me >home. I currently have 7 vehicles, 5 of which are drivable. I am as bad as anyone else when it comes to obsessive collecting. If it weren't for the fact that I'm building a house, commuting 3 hours a day, and running a second business, I'd probably have even more. :) I am currently contemplating either a 603 hybrid motor or a 606 from a '98/'99 E300 turbo to drop in. The next big thing to go wrong, and I'll be looking for a cheap donor. I'm keeping my eyes peeled as is. J.B.
