I agree, but an odd Dodge that's made completely by MB in Dusseldorf with Dodge do-dads popped on just before it goes on the boat. I do think it might cause a problem if pulled over, if you replace the do-dads with the orignal MB ones. The cop pulls up that you have a Dodge Sprinter and you clearly have a Mercedes Sprinter...he checks the plate on the door and it says Daimler-Chrysler, not Dodge. Chris

You can put all the 3 pointed stars you want on a Dodge and it's still a Dodge.

All went well. Although this is our third child, she is just the best and I am so happy! I can't wait to see her when I get home tonight. Thought it is appropriate to share this on the list as I got to know many of you over the years not in person but over conversations on the list. Have a good weekend. Tan
