<<On behalf of myself and Curt (as I assume you mean our two series of Qs and As), may your C-Class become lunch for a Freightliner semi tanker running liquid nitrogen (while parked unoccupied, of course).>.
Thank you for your kind thoughts. May I suggest that you reread my post which was an oblique response to somebody who is bitching about subjects of no interest to him. I mention some examples that I have no interest in and point out that they do not have to be read. Referring to ten years reading of various MB lists (pre-Marshall, believe it or not) I said that, all in all, they have not changed much and they are what they are. So live with it. BTW, when it comes time to sell, I shall remember your Freightliner idea. Better than arguing about trade-in value. Don't be so sensitive. RLE/Seattle
