"Once you get used to driving the old cars they aren’t bad at all.

The column mounted shift gate seemed to span 36," and the engine exhibited the neck snapping acceleration of an advancing fog bank, but she was a dream to drive. A one-car parade some days, as other Mercedes owners would flash their lights, wave, and honk as I drove by.
