I used to have this '89 Astro van and one day my wife drove into the side of a S-10 with it, totaling the s-10. The van front end looked like hell but we had no money and only liability insurance, it was perfectly driveable so we didn't fix it. About 1.5 years later I ran across all the parts to get it looking right again, and they were even the right color (not a surprise there, most of them were gray or white mine was gray) so I installed all of the parts and did not tell the wife. She never noticed, I had to tell her two days later, WHILE LEANING ON THE FRONT GRILLE.

Not only did she pass it this morning on her way out, with me in it and working on the seat belt, but when she came back I was still in it. I invited her to sit inside with me. It was even running. She still thinks it's the SDL. She: "Did you remember what was wrong with it?" Me: "Oh, I'm figuring it out." I'm a-gonna pay for this one! :-) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
