Fond memories of my Merceded W124. You could rip the engine out of the car and it would go on and on. No electricity for motor management required whatsoever.

I think you meant "rip the battery out"?

What I meant was the pure engine without any additional managment once running was able to sustain itself.

It's one of the last types of Mercedes which were meant to go through WWIII and back.

Either one works, as long as you're going downhill.
