Janis Jalopy is the name we gave to Woozle's Mercedes Benz after recovering it from Georgia. The Benz is a 1983 380 SEL 4-door sedan imported from Germany by my dad, who basically gave it to me in 2000. It ended up sitting out in a field in northeast Georgia for about a year, with expensive consequences. More details to follow.
Some relevant links:
- An account of the ill-fated Benz Rental
- An accounting of same
- receipt for the repair work Janis required in order to be drivable again, after recovery through the court system
- Some pre-wiki photos of Janis, just after returning home to NC
Technical stuff:
- Janis is a 380 SEL, which is apparently one of the W126 line
- Janis appears to have a mechanical injector, which may be at the root of the smoking problems...
- Flying Circus Cars looks like a good place to go for repairs. They also sound expensive... but then again, the last place I took Janis for extensive repairs (on the A/C system) was also expensive AND didn't fix the problem. I never got to call them out on it because Janis got borrowed before I had a chance to take her back in. This place at least sounds like they'll actually fix things...
