I know that my friend Harry refused to work on them. Price of parts was
one barrier, overly-complicated engineering was another. I know someone
GAVE him a MB that had been sitting in a field for years. It sat outside
the shop for quite a while, then someone inquired about the sale of that
MB.

He figured that getting it running so it could be sold might bring a
profit, but when all else was said, it cost too much to repair for what he
got out of it. I see it on the streets here in town occasionally, but I
wonder about the cost of maintainence to keep it on the road.
