Is there a 12 step program here?

cth350 · 01-01-2009, 07:02 PM

When I'm not getting my myself into mischief at work or chasing after two boys and apologizing to the wife, I'm using up to my neck in mercedes parts, grease and wondering what other trouble I can cause myself by getting more.

There's something fundamentally wrong when you own over 30 mercedes in various states of disrepair and use the suburban as a daily driver. I know the rental process for a Uhaul auto-transport (big trailer) better than most of the Uhaul clerks.

admitting you have a problem is usually the first step. i try not to worry about too much.
glad to have you here as our other benz man seems to have dropped off the face of the planet. stick around and chew the fat for a spell.
how old are your boys??

The little guy, Joe, is 3 and the big one, James, is 10.

The little guy took a mercedes parts car for a spin down the driveway earlier this year while my wife watched. She didn't realize that he could put it in gear. Good thing there was a milk crate right behind the car full of suspension parts to stop the car after 10 feet.

He missed hitting the truck by about 3 inches when the car finally stopped on top of that milk crate. That kid was sure it a great deal of trouble and he knew it too.

Now to get both boys to understand the difference between the metric and SAE tools.

that sounds like fun. mine will probably be driving in the next couple of years. he is always on me about driving or buying a faster or taller truck. i think i am going to go broke when he gets up of age.
take it easy on them concerning SAE and metric. everyone can cuss about that. i still do all the time. have learned that a 1/2, 9/16 and 10mm can get you alot of places though.
