Chris, While I'm sure that Luther is an upstanding and rather likeable fellow, I must question your devoting brain cycles to dreaming up plots involving Luther meeting the girl of his dreams. Certainly, you would be better off dreaming up plots to give a MB diesel to him, or to me, or another to yourself. At least that would hold some Benz related info. (Him driving a Benz in your dream to this fictional McDonald's does not count.) Ed -- Knowledge is power... Power Corrupts. Study hard...

God only knows the year that car was. But it ran just fine. What would that have been, a 220D? Or what as even older?
