   FYI, my friend Harry would turn MB jobs away because he wasn't inclined to   
   work on them. He was even reluctant to take a MB for free that somebody   
   paid the towing fees on to get it out of their yard. Harry fixed it, but   
   didn't want anything more to do with it and put a for sale sign on it.   
      
   Last I saw of it was when the new owner drove it off after it had sat at   
   the shop for months with that for sale sign on it. He brought it back the   
   next day, wanting Harry to do some work on it. Harry declined to even   
   listen to what the guy wanted done.   
      
   Dunno why but any other German made cars (except V8 Porche') were   
   acceptabe to work on. The real money is in fixing Asian cars because   
   they're plentiful and so easy to diagnose and fix compared to European   
   cars.

   That was my grandfather's first new car too. A 1941 Chevy Deluxe tudor,   
   maroon. I always wanted that car, but he eventually traded it in for a 52   
   Pontiac, maroon in color.
