I have the suspicion that the other board has many younger members with vehicles that are significantly newer and much more complex than the folks on this board.
Accordingly, the knowledge base for repairing those vehicles is simply not there and the capability of the individuals on the board is far less than the folks over here.
Furthermore, when you have the capability of spending 15-20K on a M/B, you have the capability of paying someone to fix it when it breaks. You can therefore spend your time on more important matters such as the size of the new wheels or the color of the brake calipers.
There is no satisfaction in the actual repair of such a vehicle by these individuals. Remember, when you get done with the repair, the vehicle looks exactly the same as it did before you started the repair.
We get a lot of personal satisfaction in keeping a 20 year old vehicle in good running and good looking condition. They don't.
