Well, if that ever were to transpire, I'm sure there would be a few other things to worry about...

Really? 100C doesn't look hot to you? Aren't these engines supposed to run at 80c? I mean, 100c on a flat road going 60 mph with 55f ambient temp. I don't want to know what is going to happen when it has to climb a steep hill when it's 85f out....
Before I bought this car I didn't have any kind of 'hobby' I ever spend any money on. I haven't spend money on anything for myself for years. So I don't feel too bad about it, honestly.
And yeah, she hates the car, but she's not the only one. Apparently not everyone likes these old Mercedes. A good friend of mine called Betsie an "ugly, white old turd". But then he did help me put the drive shaft back in, so it's all good.
My father-in-law was drooling over it though. I stopped by his house last night. He always wanted an old Mercedes. He said: "Oh, it's an 84 huh? yeah, I personally always wanted an '78 300D". I didn't tell him those are the same...
