I drove the 560SEL to work today for the first time. it is 45 miles each way. It drove so nice.
I took it to C & B in Katy for a bumper to bumber inspection and was found to have a lot of expensive new parts already. It had new ball joints and rod ends and bushings. The tansmission is new. The chain was new too and all Mercedes parts. The tech. (Craig) said who ever owned it took very good care of it. All he did is change the oil, flush out and clean the brake system, change the differential lube and clean the vent.

I put new michelins on yesterday. All that remains is to install a radio and fix the power antena. And the hard part... Sell the mustang gt.

I have named this car "The Captain".
