How to fix a $1300 Mercedes air strut for $6.95

Awesome job!!! I love cheap DIY fixes. But the real question is...

Did that guy peeing on your tires in the parking lot help you guys do a better burnout?

Haha! I didn't try after wards, but if I would have realized that it tries to take off in second or third and only kicks down into first, I would have set the auto-stick to first, turned the traction control off, and lit them up! I was disappointed in my first attempt at a burn out in that car, and have since perfected my technique.

Thanks for the ride to the Challenge. I'm glad to see you made it home on the "Peg-Leg".

Well done. Good to see someone using their noggin to "git 'r done".

Can it be said that when you discovered the problem and found that you had nary a block of wood on hand to fix it, that you were hard up for a piece of ash?

Ooops!

That is so true about the Benzworld stuff. Before getting our R350 I signed up and poked through the threads and there is next.to nothing for DIY.

Honestly Corey, I'm dissappointed.

Having slept an average of 2 hours per night for 3 days, consumed copious amounts of alcohol over said three days, waking up late, and knowing you had to get home that night (what is it, like a 12 hour drive?) what you really should've done was spent hundreds of dollars and hours of your time creating some elaborate system of compressors, hoses, A/C inverter, etc., etc., 'cuz you know, that would be the "Grassroots" way to do it. Maybe you could throw a $2,000 exhaust on to get that perfect "note" and an additional 1/2 HP while you're at it.

WOOD IS GOOD!
