It's Friday and I'm bored

Someone want to hit me with the cliff notes cause i dont feel like reading 20 pages about a minivan? It just needed a headgasket? Why is that such a big deal, couldn't an indy shop knock it out for a few grand? Ought to be pocket change for someone that can afford an R63 and several other cars and a house and children. :dunno:

guy realizes AMG built a super rare minivan, wants for his family/daily
finds one cheap off lease because Mercedes resale is borked
drives it for like a week, starts chugging coolant, heads lifted because the head studs pulled out of the block, a known problem apparently
quoted 57,000 American Dollarrrsssoooomgggggg from the dealer to replace super rare things
heads asplode, guy wants to fix it himself because cheap, more bad ideas, he buys a lift,


can't just throw a gasket at it. new studs/helicoil and who knows how much coolant got into the oil and made the bearings cry. i guess a lift is cheaper than a couple grand at the indy shop. whatever, rare AMG does predictable stuff, maybe don't buy one?
