GOODBYE AUTO OBSESSION BLOG - HELLO BIODIESEL ALBUQUERQUE BLOG
A new era has arrived at this blog site that will serve as a major turn of events. The first post last July complained about gas prices, around $2.19 at that time. They are now at $2.99 per gallon! With the Patrol sold to a wonderful Nissan Tech in Georgia, we determined to purchase a fuel efficient vehicle.
We wanted to purchase a Mercedes vintage diesel. The great debate was whether to buy an early S-Class, a 300 TD wagon, or a lowly but miserly 240D. Lowly and miserly won out over style and size. Yes, here is our new old girl, a 1980 Mercedes Benz 240D as photographed by the previous owner. She won our hearts by being a Grandpa car from California with a new crate diesel engine. She was living in Phoenix with the grandson of the original owner. Light Ivory in color with a palomino interior, we drove her back from Phoenix on the weekend of May 6, 2006.
