That's the situation I am in with the SLC I've been working on. I inherited it from my father-in-law who died suddenly and unexpectedly last year. He bought the car from a friend in 1999 and I got to be the one to drive it from Manhattan to Long Island where he saw it for the first time.

I've learned so much more about Benzes after he died than before. And everytime I undertake something on the car, I wonder whether or not he'd approve. I know he would not like the fact that I put some aftermarket wheels on the car, and definitely know he would not approve of my not using Michelins.

But I like to think I can carry on his love for the cars, at least a little bit. I've been using a lot of his tools... filling in the gaps where my tool collection was missing.
