Yes, it is hard to get used to, I know it was for me after my first 8 or so years working for the same dealership in the Buick shop, then switching to Mercedes. Still catch myself talking about the "hydraulic lift......er I mean hydraulic compensators" when discussing valve train problems. It is a treat to get away from timing belts, though, not that it was a BIG problem in the Buick shop, we had a few, though. Still kind of a GM loyal guy. The front wheel drive cars are hard to beat in Wisconsin in the winter......Gilly
