The '77 240D held a steady 85 mph coming back from OkieQ and saw 90 mph -- but it took a while to get there. ... I find that my greatest driving hazard here in rural Iowa is being too slow pulling away from a stop sign at a four way stop. Other drivers are used to timing their own acceleration based on how quickly a gasser (especially a V8 pickup) pulls away. With the 240D, I've come close to being t-boned a time or two because I just wasn't quick enough accelerating.
Might be time for that S-Class.
