Thanks David.

I've purchased so many parts for this friggin' car that my MB dealer is considering marking out a reserved parking spot in front of the parts department.

They have conceeded to sell me parts at wholesale prices which is saving me a ton of $$$.

Hopefully, all is drawing to a close with this effort. All I have to do to fully amortize the $ I've sunk into this monster is to drive it for the NEXT 300 YEARS!!!! Just kidding - only 30 years....
