Oh, absolutely... I owned a '68 MB 220D (non turbo). Now picture a 2 ton
car with 50hp! (Not sure the numbers, but Ill bet Im not far off!) That
car was a blast to drive, On my way home from work, I would regularly
race my friend in his old VW bug. Close race! Its the only street legal
racing that I know of! :) If we saw a cop, we would just keep going,
because chances are we still werent speeding. Even full bore up a hill,
we would have people behind us honking at us to get going. Little did
they know...
