I saw that in my e-mail and think that may be interesting to some of you.

I read this article earlier this morning and thought it was pretty enlightening. The comments about newer cars, repairing electronics and the shift of thinking by younger generations.  It’s actually pretty hopeful.

Ha. Jaime has been  my go to MB mechanic for my 113 and 107 for almost 10 years now.
He really knows his stuff and is a great, humble guy too..
His home shop used to be 10 minutes away from my home. Now it's a 40 minute drive for me.
All the NY/NJ area guys are going to him now. He is a real asset to the MB community.
He had a nice open house I attended a few weeks ago. His shop is clean as a whistle.
I wish him great success.

Yes, nice and interesting story, thanks for sharing Dirk. Good to see someone not dissing newer technology. I enjoy working on my 2000's cars as much as on say the Pagoda. Different technology but in essence not fundamentally.
