Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] SOLD!

You know I will! Shhhh don't tell Kevin though!

One of the lookers told me his son was taking classes in Dallas at Autohaus! Hmmmm been looking on-line for that place, I'll take classes there if I can! I was going to take a diesel class at the local community college, but it was only about John Deere.

Heck I even applied for a receptionist job at Park Place Mercedes...anything to get my foot in the door and pick some local brains!

of the blue, we'll hear that you just bought another MB diesel.
