Still a gutless pig, I worry about the continued health of bugs
flying near my rear window. My first 240D slushbox driving
experience, this must be what everybody's talking about.
All of my W123's were NA 300 "slushboxes" which some say are gutless pigs,
but still faster than a "slushbox" 240D would be. I've never ridden in a
240D of any flavor. The slowest slushy that I've ever ridden in and was
LUCKY enough to own was a 1962 Corvair Monza convertible with a 2spd
powerglide whose timing was quite retarded! It did OK once it was
straightened out. Once while in a gas station, my dad told the attendant
to "hurry back," and the guy's reply was "You can't possibly be in a hurry;
You're drivin' a Corvair!" From what you said, I guess that the same holds
true for 240D's.
