HUMMM, she reminds me of another woman I know of who drives an older MB (and a diesel at that!)

I believe your daughter trumps me by far in the car-knowledge department
I'm a little envious, really. My dad didn't live locally as I was growing up, and although I visited him every two weeks (flying from Atlanta to Chicago each time to do it, too, hence perhaps the aviation interest), and he's a mechanical-minded guy, he didn't have time to maintain vehicles and so simply paid other people to do that with what were always new vehicles. I didn't get to sit at someone's knee and learn this stuff. Your daughter is very lucky to have your assistance, expertise, and frankly your time.
