John took the wife and I for a ride in his. Best accelerating thing I've
been in for several decades that didn't have wings. Reminded me of a T-34C
at takeoff power. Scary fast, plus great mpg. It isn't an Olds 442 or a GTO
but those days are long gone.

Did you hear me complaining? I have no problem with what I am driving.
Figured out why the speedo on the 300E is off by 5 mph (you are going 5 mph
faster than what the speedo shows, as checked with GPS). The "book" calls
for 195/65/15 and the tires on the car are 195/70/15.

I came really close to buying Gene's boss's E420. Forget the year but it was
the last year of the W124. Black & black, showroom condition (not so much as
a door ding). He wanted $6000 and that would have required a loan and car
payments.
He ended up letting his teen daughter drive it to school and
It is different in Iowa -- we are further east than you are. In Maine, it
would have been a 10 mph difference due to the rotation of the earth.
