Or translator, in the case of the MB publications.
What exactly is "shotgunning" anyway?

Practicing on something in a wrecking yard is a good idea as long as you don't end up ruining the part that someone else could have used as well. I've seen on many occasions of some very nice parts ruined by thise who didn't know what they were doing. Case and point, I saw what would have been a perfect dash in a MB that was gouged by someone who tried to pry out the center console. It almost made me cry.

It is OK to practice on Volvos that way......
Would be nice if everyone had both a salvage yard close and the time to go practice....
Amen to the translator importance....
