300D's are awesome. Million miles cars. Gutless but cool and comfy as fuck.
Edit: I just wish they had an extra gear so you could go over 55MPH.
My bro, you know, I want another one. The speed cap sucked, but the low gears were amazing. Had bald tires so I was throwing donuts in that bitch and a bit of off-roading. I abused that car like crazy, but she was always there in the morning to fry up some eggs. The mechanics were so simple and no computer, so I was able to make many repairs myself, even as a dumb kid.
Had a friend bang some jock's chick and his friends descended on us in their broncos, f-150s yada yada. That old 300 Mercedes punched right through em with only minor damage, and then it out ran them through the woods. Beast of a car.
My old boss loaned me one when I was between cars. I took it up a 4x4 worthy road to a renegade rave in the mountains that his son was putting on. Yeah he found out. Yeah I was a little punk. But, I didn't abuse it or so much as scratch it getting there and back.
They have good ground clearance and awesome suspension. It's a miracle of engineering considering how heavy they are. The underbelly took a thrashing but never gave me grief.
