That should be “effects". Almost forgot - put the brand new MB carpeted floor mats in after spraying them with a can of ScotchGard I found in the garage. They’re beautiful, but I know they won’t stay that way. Darn.
Going to order the K1 shift kit from the dealer today so that I can install it next weekend when I do the filter and fluid. Got a set of engine mounts to do, too. Might try those out one evening this week if I feel up to it. Looking forward to getting out on the road this morning. Happy Cyber Monday, all!
