hey brandon...
when's the last time you had your belt and tensioner looked at/changed?

i had fluctuantly mid range compression, then my belt broke while on the freeway...but then ASHMAN...the man, the myth, the coolest mbz owner ever, drove out to me at am/pm and together we took 4 hours to muscle a pep boys belt back on...

now my compression stays one point under 3 during idle...
no more mid range readings...

just a thought....
and i'll get back to you on the roof rack..i'm currently shopping for better insurance....
ever heard if 21st century is good?
