1969 Mercedes Benz 280 SL Runs Again!

Published almost 5 years ago

Its too beautiful outside for me to spend my entire day researching open source accounting software, so I just got my other car, a 1969 Mercedes Benz 280 SL, started up. It took some convincing though, I brought my Toyota Corolla around and patched 2 sets of jumper cables together (a technique I DO NOT recommend). After about 20 tries, the old girl turned over and I could tell by the sound of the roar it must have felt good to get those pistons firing again. Its been at least a year since I've run the car and I feel guilty for letting it go so far.

Note to self: buy a trickle charger!
