[W126 Coupe] Favorite car

My diesel rabbit never burned a drop and had great compression up until the
cast block cracked
between a water jacket and head bolt.

"..Diesel Rabbit.."

I had a friend who had one, felt it was his environmental duty to drive it
as much as possible, because it leaked oil faster when it was sitting still
then when it was running, it eventually got so tired in the rings, that he
could not shut it off. Even though he could shut off the flow of fuel, the
oil fumes/oil mist from the crankcase got past the rings in sufficient
quantity to keep the engine running..
