Boy did he! The W115 bodied Mercedes Diesels had a bottom mount canister oil filter that was damn near impossible to get on correctly. I remember one time he was under his '71 cussing a blue streak - I don't remember it all, but "Adolf Hitler" and "Krauts" were part of the verbiage...
I had the same problem with my '74 240D.
They live, breed, and vote!!!
Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Do you understand what quietly happened in Kentucky tonight..
Mitch McConnell spent 41 years building the most powerful Republican machine in the Senate.. he blocked nominees.. killed legislation.. outlasted six presidents.. and bent the entire GOP caucus to his will for four decades, and the moment he stepped back..
Trump walked in on May 1st.. endorsed Andy Barr.. offered the only real rival an ambassadorship.. and the rival dropped out the same week..
Cameron — the man who was supposed to carry McConnell's network forward — entered with a polling lead.. raised money.. had the name recognition.. had the Christian conservative base..
Barr had none of that early.. until Trump made one phone call and one diplomatic offer..
Cameron finished at 30%.. Barr won with 60%..
The seat McConnell held since 1984 flipped to a Trump loyalist in a single primary night..
The first open Kentucky Senate seat in 42 years.. decided by an endorsement and an ambassadorship..
Every single establishment figure watching this tonight told their donors "the McConnell network is durable".. every single one assumed the old machine had enough infrastructure to survive his retirement..
It didn't survive a single election cycle.. not a scandal.. not a Democrat.. not a generational shift..
One endorsement.. one ambassadorship offer.. and 41 years of political infrastructure collapsed in an evening..
The quiet part nobody is saying out loud.. Trump didn't just win a primary tonight.. he erased the last internal friction point inside the Senate Republican caucus without a single floor vote..
It's only getting quieter from here..

A customer asked, "In what aisle can I find the Polish sausage?"
The clerk asks, "Are you Polish?"
The guy, clearly offended, says, Yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would ask me if I was Jewish?
Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?
Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, wou you ask if I was Irish?"
The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't."
The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me it I'm Polish?"
The clerk replied, "Because you're in Home Depot."
