Brewtoo,

I'm elated that you only found one misspelled word in my three paragraphs. I don't use spell check, and I miss a word now and then. Since you seem to be more concerned about spelling and punctuation than anyone else on this board, I suggest you go back through my post and pick out run on sentences, verb tense violations, punctuation errors, parallelism, predicate nominitive and predicate adjective violations, etc. I guess a dumb mechanic like me can't possibly help you with your MB problems, because im just to stupid to figure things out. By the way that im should be captalized, because it is a personal pronoun and a conjunction. Also the first to should have another o.

Steve,

I appreciate your candor. I appologize for my outburst, but one of my hot buttons got pushed. There are many good professional mechanics out there that do a fine job and deserve respect. I can also see the frustation that comes from dealing with mediocre mechanics. I totally agree with your observations about cars and mechanics. All I can say is try to find the good ones by referral and not rely on advertisement. I notice that you have a Euro model. I would suggest dumping it for a U.S. version. I have to go now. I'll wait for Brewtoo's criticism. Maybe if I'm lucky he"ll debate me on the history of Rome, the Punic Wars, the Crimean War, the Civil War, the Cromagnin Man or something else I know a little about since I can't spell.

Peter
