Welcome, Mr. Jalopy, to the CR list:
I've been a fan of yours for many years, back to the lamented days when you'd make frequent updates to your Hoopty Rides website. In fact, my wife and I carefully considered the advice you provided about Mercedes' W124 wagons when we bought our first. I think it's so well done it deserves an excerpt here:
"Just to get it sorted, a carefully selected used Mercedes will require initial year repairs equal to the purchase price of the car. And for ever after, you will spend that initial purchase price again and again. A poorly researched and carelessly selected Mercedes has no upper monetery limit. $1000s of dollars per month until you cry uncle."
I still read Dinosaurs and Robots most everyday, and look forward to visiting you shop when we next get to LA.
