the amount on the bill threw up a red flag with the warranty people so they're sending out an inspector sometime today or tomorrow to verify the claim, should be fun

other than the deductible

Hell they may be BS'ing me on the motor and tranny mounts for all I know I'm not the one paying for it

oh and that oil leak I thought was probably an oil cooler line? turns out both valve cover gaskets and the oil pan gasket were the culprits oh and the motor and transmission mount bushings were in need of replacement I like having warranties

well I've been reading through various MB tech documents and it does seem 10 months/10,000 miles is the recommended oil change interval

never seen a stick of Ban deodorant?

also found a place that stocks Boylan's Natural Root Beer, so all in all, a good day indeed

HAY GUYS CHECK DIS SHIT OUT YO Synthetic Oils & Changing Intervals - SSA Car Audio Forum

So I took the E55 to the stealership today to get that oil leak checked out and fixed. Got to talking with the service representatives and she claims that, as long as you use a Mercedes approved oil (MB 229.5) and filter, oil change intervals are 10 months/10,000 miles. Given that dealing with stealerships and their asshattery ranks one notch below "getting anally probed" on my "Things I Enjoy" list, I came here to seek council. So basically: bullshit, maybe, yes? I honestly haven't a clue.

demolition is fun

we took it easy today and only finished the east wall; we should be done drywalling this time next week, then we can hire out the finish crew in here to..uh...finish it out...heh

The first time I got into the boost in my GT it scared the shit out of me. I'd never driven a boosted car before, aside from my 2.3Ts, and I was looking for instant acceleration and it didn't happen. Once I got the revs up though and the boost came on, it got pretty hairy so I let off. You quickly become accustomed to speed though and find yourself looking for more. I started getting used to it quick too. But if you dont wanna go over a sertain speed do it with the windows down...........Seems to make 80 feel like 100. Then again fastest I've ever gotten was 120. J I've gone 150 before (in a helicopter)

or when some douchenozzle comes roaring through the flats while you're clearly wade fishing and drenches your ass
