Baby Back

My car arrived today from San Antonio with a new ABC system (pretty much). New hose, new pump, new fluid, new valves. ABC stands for Active Body Control, or basically a hydraulic active suspension that can raise/lower the car as well as balance it out in sharp corners and redirect power to avoid skids and spins.

The driver Mario said it was a pleasure to drive and that he left right on time and found the McAllen police station easily with his GPS system. I was glad I had cleaned out the rental car, gassed it up and got some cash for a tip for which he seemed appreciative. He took off in the Ford and I was quite happy to have my M-B back, hence my "baby back/baby back/baby back" (think Chili's commercial).

I am certainly glad that I bought the extended warranty to cover the many expensive repairs as well as the long term rental car. My kind of wager. I'll leave the Vegas wagers to others.
