Well, in all fairness, he likely wouldn't have used the tools very much. I guess I should be happy that we raised a man who has a mind of his own even if his views are somewhat different than my own. He and his younger brother are very different people. My younger son is a journeyman auto

This S550 I got has a salvage title now.  I could see where it would be very costly to repair with new parts or even aftermarket, but it has been quite doable with used parts and a few new ones, aside from the effort and time involved with the chase.  Once it's done the car will be fine, not

Yes, it's when the insurance company has determined that damage exceeds value of the car and they buy it. They will then sell it on with a "Salvage" brand on the title. I guess it may also happen if you sell the car directly to a salvage dealer and they resell it? I have had insurance deem a

I’m not sure what people’s attraction is to the R107s. They’re heavy, underpowered (except the 560) and aren’t that enjoyable or exciting to drive. I seriously considered a 450SL some years ago, but the more I drove them the less I liked them. -D > On Jul 18, 2022, at 11:20 AM, Allan Streib
