Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

Last night I saw a commercial for one of those CSI type shows with Director Skinner from the X-Files playing some kind of highway serial killer and they showed what looked like a late model 126 getting flipped. I hate seeing that and the wife always gets annoyed when I pause the TV to look at the cars.

blue W123

"Four Seasons" (1981) with Alan Alda, Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno. A drama about middle-aged couples. The dentist guy, played by Jack Weston, has a new W123 (I believe it's a 280E). He's really anal about the car, just loves it. The ending is quite painful; something bad happens to the car.

There's a commercial here in Illinois about gun crimes, and one of the first scenes is a guy working under his 123! I can only assume it is diesel
