Well,

It looks official! I am going to buy a diesel.

Rich and I are driving out almost 2 hours west of my place to look at, and hopefully buy and drive home a Mercedes Benz 240D.

I called the seller today, and he said he started it the other day, and then again this morning. He put it in his garage, so he can get it warmed up and all the snow off it. He also has an air compressor to top off the tires.

You guys can squabble over the exact chopping and modding once I get it home!
