Found A Good Link

May be y'all have seen this already but I was surfing looking for a good book describing MB models. I stumbled in to the MBCA site that had very good discussions on techinical matters. I am seriously thinking about joining MBCA now.

http://www.mbca.org/pages/tech/mbca_tech_toc.htm

I especially like the discussion on "When do Parts wear out". It answers a lot of question I have wondered about. Great job MBCA!

Are any folks members here in the DFW area? Does this cater to the wealthy with the newer models? [mostly gassers?]
Feedback?

JimmyL, I would seriously join the Ft. Worth section of MBCA. The have a Dallas section too. The President of the Ft. Worth section is D.J. DeJesus, VERY nice gentleman. They're active compared to our Houston group. They have tech sessions at the dealership, that means you get to use some of their equipment to work on your car. They have track days, show and shines, etc... If you want to join MBCA, contact me via PM before you do so.
