Nope, I keep the ITR to a pretty low profile. Love the car and it was the first new car I ever bought.

Sounds about right. I get through there often.

I wouldn't have a 300 simply because you can't get one with a manual transmission in the states. Wouldn't mind a bit more power though, the 240d is less than 70hp when new 30 years and 215,000 miles ago. The 300 is something more like 120hp. My 240d is in wonderful shape though, came out of California. I love driving it in traffic because it's so mellow and comfortable and you just don't need a lot of power to putter along at 15 to 40mph staring at the bumper of the guy in front of you.

The ITR in traffic is mental. When I drive a car I let it tell me how it wants to be driven, and the ITR says GO FASTER GO FASTER GO FASTER NOW SLAM ON THE BRAKES, TURN, PASS THAT GUY ON THE SHOULDER and GO FASTER SOME MORE. I'm honestly surprised I never wrecked it. I was 20 when I bought it. There is a thick stack of municipal driving awards in my paperwork for that car. One time buddy of mine, my wife and I drove it to Denver, Colorado and back to St. Louis in under 18 hours. Our average speed was nearly 100mph, we took turns sleeping in the back with the seats folded down. At one point in Kansas I woke up and my wife was doing 140. We're more mellow today. Two kids, full time jobs, house, etc...

Oh yeah, "Redline=shift", I'm digging the International School bus monster truck avatar. Most those buses had the same motor as my Scout II.
