I am leaving for San Francisco in a few minutes to have my trusted indie down by the airport, replace the brake pads (Textar) rotors (ATE) and put anti squeal paste on the 560SEC's brakes. Plus weld up the leak in the exhaust and inspect the tie rods and jack pads which may have rotten rubber. Flush the brake fluid and repack the wheel bearings too maybe.
He is a ultra high line used car dealer too that sells Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and super highly modded BMWs, Porsches and MBs to the Silicon Valley biotech and internet millionaire crowd from there.
www.toplineautomobile.com He works on my poor car cause he used to own two just like it and he knows and likes them.
They promised me a loaner too. Wonder what I will get? I hope not some crappy W126 or a Pathfinder like the last times. heeeeeeeeeeee
I got a date too. I am going to meet her at Stanford University shopping center for gabbing and lunch.
Maybe I should pack the camera for this one.
