...is 30 years old, German, rare, slightly rusty, and apparently doesn’t always start. I would have bought it, too, if not for some meddler from the other side of the country who beat me to it by a matter of hours. If you are that meddler from the other end of the country, though, I congratulate you on your plan to autocross this rare beast. But still, I hope you back out of the deal so I can have it.

Why yes, that’s a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190e 2.3-16v Cosworth, imported from Canada. That I failed to buy.

I imagine there is some enterprising importer who can haul one over from Europe for a bit of cash!

That would not be an irresponsible impulse purchase, now would it? That would be almost like work.

My mechanic friend has one, he says it’s a bit of a nightmare.
