My other half had an '83 300SD since new. I thought it was hilarious and shameful when I took the Prius (and took 1st in H Stock). It is fun to see someone making the old bird move like that! I remember driving down the road at an angle when the turbo came on in snow. This brought back some fun memories.
@RacerCub68 this car is still autocrossed by its new owner, although now with H&R springs and HD shocks on it. Another friend just picked up an 85 SD and will be bringing it out regularly starting next weekend!

Just goes to show Mercedes' Bulletproof Quality.... even if it was beaten like this everyday. Hell, take it to the 'Ring and do 24 hours.

After another look, the driver gets 10 out of 10 for skill. The last right bank and left-right shikane was super nice.

I second that; CHiP's chase music spliced in would be rad.

All you need to do now is have some CHiP's chase music.
