what do you mean start doing them?
I called about having the B-2 piston on my car replaced because it broke (a standard procedure, MB makes an updated repair kit that doesn't break). Gus told me no. Had to tow it all the way down to Abacus. I kinda get the feeling Gus thinks I've ruined a perfectly good car by making it loud and fast.

I have lived here for 2.5 years and have had a ball joint replaced by your shop (I inspected the work afterward btw - it was good work), yet I still haven't seen your car.

Hmm, maybe. Around Thanksgiving?

So does Gus not work on the cars? From talking to him I got the feeling he knows Benzes inside and out.

what do you drive? I know you've got a MB... but I don't think I've seen an older MB that's loud and fast.

I was at Quaker Steak getting lunch when the BMW meet was going on. Went to leave the lot and suddenly there were people around my car, so I popped the hood. I had no idea anybody took a video, but I found this on the internet the next day.
