RE: 4kq parts and an explination

[Ed Kellock <EKELLOCK@ECS-INC.com>]

When I was about 12, we _travelled_ in our 450sl...  Mom, Dad, me and my
6-year old sister.  I guess it helped that my dad was once a loadmaster for
C-130's in the Air Force...

I think we got in the neighborhood of 13mpg...  Of course it was only a
couple years old at the time.

Either way, I'd have one now if I could.
