I decided to hold out for the SDL. I wanted a 'boat'.
How much longer is the 300SDL than the SD? I've heard that there's a bunch
more leg room in the SDL's rear seat area. However, the 603 aluminum heads
scare me!

I'll check valves and oil leak next weekend. What about checking the rear
side of the turbo for oil? How hard is that? What's the proceedure for
the baffle epoxy?
