   I know that my friend Harry refused to work on them. Price of parts was   
   one barrier, overly-complicated engineering was another. I know someone   
   GAVE him a MB that had been sitting in a field for years. It sat outside   
   the shop for quite a while, then someone inquired about the sale of that   
   MB.   
      
   He figured that getting it running so it could be sold might bring a   
   profit, but when all else was said, it cost too much to repair for what he   
   got out of it. I see it on the streets here in town occasionally, but I   
   wonder about the cost of maintainence to keep it on the road.
