What the hell did you do with an M-B Diesel engine? ;)

My first (and best) girlfriend had a 1963 M-B 190D, a four door M-B sedan
with a "four on the tree". Yup...4 speed trans...on the column. It was the
usual H pattern but you had to go about 1/3 of the way into 1st and then
pull back to get into Reverse.

Reverse took a little to get used to...

What with that new snow blizzard going on right now in some states, a
lot of vehicles aren't going anywhere for a while.

Common sense doesn't sell papers, only made up storys to titilate or
sensationalise.

"Made up story"?

Take a look at Fox news' web page. They had the 911 call for a while.

A lot of news sources had the call.

Be honest, Fox news isn't exactly unbiased. We here in the UK have a
fair amount of our press and satellite TV from Murdock, we also get Fox
News via satellite. You've also shot yourself in the foot by saying
that "A lot of news sources had the call" Now only one call was made,
why would many news sources want it apart to sensationalise?
