Ok, I didn't realize that hypothetical questions are out of the norm here. As you can see I have only posted here a few times. Glad to have found a half-way busy mercedes forum finally. I really don't see anything wrong with posing hypothetical questions. Isn't curiosity a good thing? Don't you ever wonder if anybody has done this or that to their mercedes and what the results were? Oh, and I meant afficianados of old mercedes by the way. Not trying to start a generation war here.
