I'm an ex car nut, and I've always been fascinated by the diesel engine. I have yet to own one but I keep threatening to get one for myself. Primarily looking at that old MB 240D which is a tank. :-D In my unofficial surveys of people diesel is always thought of as dirty and harder to find at the pump. The reason I don't actually own a diesel is the lack of options here in the US. Ive got to choose a truck, VW (depending on the year) and a MB. I haven't gone as far as looking into importing one purely for the repair aspect. If I actually ever move from my tiny city apartments I've considered the truck option and then converting it to run on SVO but it will probably never happen. I have yet to figure out why we don't have diesel electric vehicles.
