Who knows where this car has been? Plus, these old diesels take a long time to break in, people say tha with good maintainence, they just keep getting smoother and smoother as they age. This one idles great, and feels like you are driving a train (in the good way). Reminds me of grandmas, which is also a good thing. She'll be pleased that I chose this car, I think. Glad the bugs are OK. When people say 'wow, what is it like to have such an old car' I tell them, "Oh, its a new car, I learned to drive on my mom's bugs, which she still drives every day."

Pearl had a bad habit of turning off when she shoulda stayed on, and then not restarting for a bit. I think my ubermechanic has fixed it though since it hasn't happened in a week or so. Something electronic...who knew. Ruby is cruising right along, she's a great car. Thanks for asking, I'll let Pearl and Ruby know you inquired about their health. They'll be pleased.

The car meets all his expectations, plus a third row of seats, which apparently is rare and highly desirable. He is giddily driving home, and isn't too far away now. It seems to get a little under my subaru's mileage, but of course, once transferred to biodiesel will be much cheaper to run. Of course there will be things to fix, but as you know, Jana, that's part of the relationship with these old cars...how are Pearl and Ruby doing, btw? :-) Sam just called me a little bit ago.

But I've been trying to get your grandma's benz for many years. Recycled cars are characteralicious and have comfyability. They speak to those of us who listen. I'm glad you choose to listen.
