You must have seen this car before. Its bright yellow and has been in Lancaster area since new. I got it from Huber Auto, who seem like a decent bunch. They pointed out a MacDonalds on the way that was where the last owner spent his mornings. He sounded like a gearhead from way back, which is perfect.

This is my third 190d, so welcomes are unnecessary but thanks! Neither of the first two made it home to Vermont under their own power, so I was pretty glad to be driving up the driveway in this one-- it makes it a little easier to explain to the wife if it actually runs!

early 190s dont have shocks. I inspected the passenger side mount-- it has a big chunk out of it. The drivers side usually goes first since it gets soaked with fuel, so it's probably due as well. And no, it does not idle smoothly.
