Asked her why she didn't take that
one and got the Oh, DAAD response.

Some people just don't get it!  Nothing beats the noise, smell and, of 
course, the smoothness of an MB diesel.

At British gas prices, I hope it was a BIG promotion!  ;)  Or does the 
company pay fuel costs too?

My son used his promotion as an excuse to purchase a Miata, but at
least he kept the 320K mile 1985 300D that I had advised him to
purchase last summer...

 Don't knowshe had an 8 year old Toyota Celica that was in primo
 condition.  That will go to her fiancee, and he is dumping his Mondeo.  It's
 all relative...I think she was used to the gas prices.  She's been over
 there for almost three years, and she's marrying a Brit, so she's there for
 the long term.  Good news is he's a pilot for British Airways, so they can
 come here fairly regularly, and the company she works for has a big office
 here, so they pay for some trips back.  Like I said, she's got it pretty
 good.
