By missing the bumper, the energy was absorbed by the fender sheet metal,

I used State Farm for the first 12 years of my driving record. Last summer
they had the gall to send me a letter requiring $35 for each of my 2 cars or
the policy would lapse. I called and asked about this, and the reason was
because I had been rerated as a youthful driver at 26y10m of age.
Different years models have the 2nd gear start. My 1986 and 1990
300E's both started in second gear, and I believe all years did. My
1987 300D starts in first gear, and I would have SWORN that all 124
diesels started in first. Kaleb? Don? Sunil? What's the deal? The E420

We've had this 1990 W124 2.5 Diesel since new, and it has always started in
2nd when not running red light drags. And the literature we got with the
car said that is the way it was supposed to operate - and 220k miles later,
it still runs the same!
