So sorry about the car. That is sort of thing that I am sure all of us worry about with our much loved cars. Frustrating as it is to discover the limits of actual 'enforcement' [I caught someone breaking into my car and got a description, plate #, abandoned tools and hair sample stuck to the mirror - all the cop wanted was to know who to send the report for insurance], I have been in enough other places to be happy that I am here. To steal a good line, It is the worst imaginable system, except for all the others. BillR Jacksonville FL 1981 300SD 284k

I grew up an ardent patriot and defender of the united states as the greatest nation the world has ever know. now i grow more and more disgusted to be an american every single day. my country is just a passport and a shakedown. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
