It has a Straight-5 engine (Yes It is a 5 cylinder car). When I first got it, It had a bad transmission(slipped out of 3rd, and could never get to 4th). My father and I replaced it, now it just needs new brakes and a new windshield.

Do you burn fryer oil in it? A former team member had a similar car, and he used fryer oil from his parents' restaurant. It would coagulate, though, in unusually cold weather here in Florida, and he'd mix some regular diesel fuel with the other stuff. You have to filter the particles from the fryer oil, but those old Mercedes seem to burn it ok. I hear that the newer car diesels, like VW TDI's and the current M-B's are much more picky about fuel than the older M-B's.

It's the corollary that you pick them no matter what shape they start the event in. Pink is known for showing up at their 1st regional with the robot in an unfinished state. And somehow, magically by the end of qualifications it just works, and they win. - Nuttyman54 [more]
