LoL...I have found that if I keep em outa sight, I can sneek in quite a few
Timing is such a PIA (least it was for me the first time) that most folks just dont do it. On that one of my friends that was out 6 degrees, it belonged to a friends mom that owned it for many years. It started hard from the get go, they rigged two batteries so they could start it, a fairly low mileage, nice 240D. When mom died the son sold it to a friend and he found the timing WAY out. NOBODY ever thought too check the timing, including me
And like I said the only problem was not starting well. The son speculated that the car came from Germany that way.
