“Lots of diesel in Europe. States wont let them in.”

I’ve read that over half passenger new vehicles sold in Europe are diesels.

California has diesels by VW/Audi, Mercedes, BMW and more coming, from Mazda, Chevrolet Cruze.

VW has had them for a long time, as has Mercedes.

Remember 240D, 300D, 300SD, 300D turbo diesel? In the 1980s at least.

My brother swore by his mid 80s 300 D turbo diesel sedan.

“I already did go to Turbo-Diesel 7 years ago (when gas went over $2).”

Do you recommend Turbo-diesel? Which one?

My dad had a 170 D when we were stationed overseas in the 50s.

A local neighbor owns a black ‘61 Impala SS with the 409 motor. Now, that’s cool...

We get winter and snow and sleet. So you’ve got unused bike lanes all year except for rush hour. In the winter they’re empty except for the one green guy who doesn’t mind risking his life and yours to keep it green.
