Tripin' in the Benz

Published: Oct. 11, 2017, 7 a.m.

Here's a solo episode from the road. I just took my 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 for a drive from Orange County out to Palm Springs to sample the new Land Rover Velar. It's the longest trip I've done in the Benz to date, and the old Merc handled it like a champ.

So I chat about that and some plans for the car, but also talk about the Volvo V90 CC I just spent a week driving. After that it's time for your questions.
