I have been thinking more and more of taking my bike. Starting the SD at 20 degrees and driving it 6 blocks is painful. 15 miles on a bike - that's a pretty good work out. I jogged for one season and got from being able to jog for 1 minute (and getting near heart attack level) to being

I'd say keep it. That short commute is going to be VERY hard on any car, why not make it hard on a car thats disposible? Alternately sell it for $500 and pick up a cheap gas car to beat on... -Curt Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 18:08:07 -0800 (PST) From: Christopher McCann [EMAIL

You can't have enough Mercedes cars! At least keep it till you find one to replace it! If keeping it bothers your conscience, sell/donate it to Lt. Don -- he needs another project to keep him off the streets. On 11/30/05, Christopher McCann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 9 years...there will be no

Well, OK Don and Curt agree - beat the AKP-Wagen into the ground and keep the SD for Saturday errands, Sunday drives and road trips. No sense getting a gasser to beat on when I can beat on a 240D...I like the car, even though it's a heap - part of the charm, PLUS I use it as a learning

I considered selling it to a workmate for $1. He needs a second car. He bought a 220D brand new in 1973 (or so) and drove it for 19 years. He's older than me, a really nice guy, has a LONG commute to work and continue putting crap in the tank and continue the experiment...but I think I will

If I decide to ditch it, I'll keep your daughter in mind. Would give it to her, not to you. You'd probably take it back from her!...Here sweetie, I found this great little...uh...uh...Yugo for you. You're too young to remember what GREAT cars these were...let's swap :-) Chris (making
