  1. Concur! He was stopped in Oklahoma and had to exit his vehicle to sit in the officer's patrol cruiser. The whole episode must have lasted a minimum of 15 minutes.
  2. I lack confidence in my ability to repair a colossal entity such as this. I consistently attempted to repair my prior vehicles alone, but the outcomes were unsatisfactory; although I completed the tasks, they consumed excessive time, and I lacked full confidence in my workmanship. Regarding modifications to hydraulic suspension and automatic gearboxes, particularly in a vehicle as technologically complex as this, I would likely concede and consult a technician.
  3. I just totaled my prior automobile and am seeking a new. I accessed the internet and discovered the following: https://www.valleyautosak.com/inventory/mercedes-benz/s-class/416905/ My ability to persuade my insurance company to assess my previous car's value based on engine mileage rather than body condition may determine if it fits within my cash budget. However, the price has been reduced twice (the dealer acknowledged they were selling it on behalf of someone else, initially priced at approximately $12,500) and it is exhibiting signs of aging. The suspension inevitably descends over time while stationary, maybe in an uneven manner, resulting in an undignified posture and a warning notification upon ignition. It ascends swiftly to the standard height when the vehicle is engaged in gear. Opinions vary about whether this situation is natural and if it is an easy resolution. Which party is accurate in this context? More concerningly, the transmission exhibits a delayed response to manual shift control and, in one instance, delivered the most jarring shift I have ever seen from any transmission. It really frightened me, since it resembled a physical collision. Otherwise, everything functioned well; nevertheless, purportedly harsh changes while cold may signify costly issues. Is there any possibility that it only requires a transmission fluid change, or is this definitive indication of costly issues? Can a reputable shop distinguish between the two scenarios?
  4. I would maintain it in its original condition. You would resent having to repeat the task if the update proves ineffective.
