[W126 Coupe] Off topic

Two cents
Dallas is  "expensive!"
Oklahoma City and Tulsa cheap.
Have found that making a reservation  weeks in advance  rate  is  
higher than making reservation a day or two before arriving.
BUT each city is different  in the US and other countries are another  
matter.
If you  decline the rental companies insurance rate goes down   
dramatically
When using  credit  card if you  "do not decline" the rental  
companies  ins.  your credit card company will not cover you!
