Several years ago I saw an interview with the famous car designer/builder, Carrol Shelby. He said, "we always believed the money is in selling car parts, not cars". Amen.

If one totals the price of the parts to build most any car, truck or SUV, it comes to around 4 to 6 times the purchase price! So....the money REALLY is in selling car parts, not cars! Now, if MB would figure this out and BRING BACK THE PARTS WE NEED TO KEEP OUR Mercedes Benz cars and SUVs on the road!! They win and we win!!

Sometimes, when I am dealing with large companies or institutions it feels like this:

Is anybody out there, anybody there?
Does anybody wonder, anybody care?

Oh, I just got to know
If you're really there......

And you really care


I'm talking to YOU, mercedes benz!!
