   That's what I ultimately did and I didn't think of calling road service at the   
   time.  But I did buy one of those 2-ton hydraulic jacks for the suburban.

   I wouldn't anyway.

   No.  He's working on my Mark VIII this week in his spare time and will get to   
   it when he finishes (if he wants to get paid).  (-:

   What good does that do the engine unless you prepared it to sit up for a long

   Things weren't that way back then.  We were straight with the customers, which   
   probably explains why we were open 24-hours.

   Don't worry.  You'll be the Fourth person to know about the Benz.   
   1. The DMV   
   2. The SIL   
   3. Me   
   4. You.  (-:
