Is she a Classic Yet?

Many moons ago (before there was air) this was Scott's ride. A 1976 240D Mercedes. In anticipation of a need for more hay storage, he moved this out of the barn.

The girls were incredibly excited over these "new" wheels. Maren had a friend over and flippantly pointed in the direction of the car (one hand on her hip) - "That's our Mercedes - a Mercedes is an old fashioned car." (Oh, if she only knew)

Sten does not seem to share their enthusiasm. The resurrection of this automobile is a mere week from his 16th birthday. Hmmm, I think the insurance rate for a 16 yr old male in an ancient german-made tank shouldn't be too bad???

OH I do love that car! Reminds me of a fun trip to Boise and running out of gas on a very narrow spot on the freeway! An old fashioned car, hand-on-hip, I can just picture it! Love the one of Mare with a missing tooth. Are you sure you guys aren't going to slip over for conv? One week away from Birthday kids? Looks like my present will be fashionably late again. Sigh. Love yous.
