Last night Gordon and I pulled the rear wheel off to look at the brakes. That simple job filled me with respect for the people who designed the car. The jack is tall like the old bumper jacks but it fits into a special hole in the side of the car. There's no groveling in the gravel trying to place a wobbly scissors jack under the car. The jack lifts the car easily and quickly.

The wheel is held by five lug BOLTS! I've never seen bolts used to hold a wheel. The disc caliper and rotor look like they come off easily. I am amazed and hopeful. My research on the internet indicates that parts are cheap for this beast. I'm having fun. I wish I'd discovered the Mercedes when I was younger.
