BTW, just last night my daughter called that she was at an accident
scene, where she struck a Mercedes with her Mitsu Eclipse.
He got a ticket, and was towed away with a broken front suspension -
maybe a snapped ball joint. She drove home with a cosmetic-type
scratch on her bumper.
Now you can make all kinds of statements about this incident, but the
only thing I'll say is this:
Larry, when plying around in your fry-oil fueled Merc, keep an eye out
for those little ****boxes. They'll take you down man, they'll take
you down.

Which reminds me: my kid was given a Mercedes and had me help him tow
it back from Dallas, until after a hundred miles or so, a suspension
joint gave way, and a wheel went to a curious angle. We consigned it
to a salvage yard, at that point....
