Re: [MBZ] cash for clunkers recycling

It's true. I have done a couple oil changes, but I don't have to get my hands dirty now that they take them into the local Jiffy Lube. The only car that I enjoy working on is the Mercedes, and it's not the daily driver. The others go to the shop. . After a $1500 head gasket job, that Durang
