Is there a German idiom to express "Rube Goldberg-esque-ness"? Apparently his grandson is working in the MBZ emissions engineering department now.

I've got to tell you that for many years there was a Saturn-V rocket engine on display in front of Rocketdyne in Canoga Park, CA. That was as complex as a stone arrowhead compared to that freakin' V-6.

Actros617, I have to give you a LOT of credit for two things that I've seemingly lost in recent years: ambition and patience. I think I've also now lost any desire for a post-CDI diesel too.

Keep up the good work and please keep us in the loop...
