Mr. Vining probably would have jumped at the chance, especially since I'm a republican.

Thanks G-Benz.

Yeah, I'm here, though I probably won't be able to take a look at the car for you. There are other Houstonians, though not as active as me. I'm probably the most active Houstonian on the board. Who else besides me is from Houston, there's Diesel4Me (no longer has any diesel MBs), ridinsmooth (out of town now), redassag00 may be able to check it out. There are some others, they escape my memory though.

Thanks H-town, Our one son actually lives in Houston, but I don't think he could do the kind of inspection I want.

I can tell you the name of my shop who can do a checkout for you. Highly recommended. They are on the west side of town. You could touch my car there since I can't! (I live in Dallas now).
