I sent him to bed, said I'd take care of it. The next day, rather than attempt to move the engine into the van, I blocked up the engine on bricks, then had two guys push the van while I manhandled the transmission to align. "easy peasy" - if a bit longer.

I guess all Porsche, Audi and Mercedes Benz expected "quirks" that were alw ays there will continue to always be there with the newer models.
I guess with learning french and german you can look-up recipes for medieva l styled bread and beer or cured meats.
The shock-absorbing capabilities of the insoles are useful for workers who must walk and stand during their shift since it reduces fatigue and allows them to work longer. It can also help to reduce the long-term effects of stressing your knees, ankles, legs, and lower back.
So, we should double flare our shoes to create an insole?

It was my original thread 8 years ago, and I let shoes slip in while complaining about difficulty getting up off a "Bone" mechanics creeper. Since then I figured out the proper maneuver to get up easily after many session under the old car.
Dunno why he felt the urge to throw in the spamish ad copy.
