    If you're having pain and you drink a COCA-COLA or apple cider and it goes away it's probably a stone. (not a old wives tale) Hopefully nothing serious (my stone was 10mm)
    Good luck to you too!

    That would be their choice and I would respect their decision. Highly unlikely knowing my Son.

    I would be more concerned that the American car manufactures in the North make even less reliable vehicles than MB. When I retired from the Navy 20 years ago I first did Business Process Improvement (Business process reengineering became a dirty word) for various vertical markets, mainly manufacturing, including the new BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC where the new medical device facility is going in.

    I had an executive at BMW tell me one night he was shocked at the productivity of the American Workforce there and their quality of work even compared to the German labor force. He about choked the words out, it is not something easy for a German to say.

    Quality is a culture and driven and directed by management. If a culture of quality is not nourished then it fails. The labor force is just fine in that area of the country and their is a lot of manufacturing in the area.

    I work at the number one ranked Hospital and Clinic in the US, judging by the tail fins on the planes at the little International airport South of town arguably the world. I am not worried about the quality of any bio devices made in SC. Bio Med manufactures have QA standards a lot higher than vehicles. And every employee where I work is trained in Quality from Lean to Six Sigma, even housekeeping staff @vssman would be proud LOL. And it is because of that culture that we are #1. That is my experience anyhow.

    you should see Jeep JK owners rock crawling on double black diamond trails with their $45k jeep with an additional $30k in suspension and driveline mods . They snap axles or grenade the t/case or destroy the body panels


    Calico GateKeeper vs Jeep JK ....listen the r/rear axle at 27 seconds into the vid
