[MBZ] OT Movie Content and Society - was Star Wars - was gasser mills in oil burners
So Natalie Portman? I am almost totally illiterate in terms of movies - and most pop media. But I agreed to go with the wife to a movie showing at the cute little historic theater here in town. It was called The Darjeeling Limited. Before the main movie, a short film showed that was by the same author (director, producer, whatever). This short starred Natalie and one of the male characters from the main movie. All I can really tell you is that that chick is a sight to behold naked. And I'm not talking your standard naked - I'm talking porn naked. There were elderly folks and young people in that theater. Real interesting to see where society is going what with this stuff being mainstream now.

Re: [MBZ] OT Free Shipping?
Free shipping is based on order amount because free shipping is used to motivate customers to buy more. It's the same with my business. I offer $10 off any order $125 and up or $25 off any order $250 and up. And because of these specials, the majority of my orders fall into the $125 - $150 and $250 - $300 ranges. I used to do the same with orders to Rusty when the 300SDL was my main driver. I'd order parts and would add in oil fuel filters to reach the free shipping point. This really is the best way to order from Rusty anyway, regardless of who is really paying for shipping. Once you pay to ship the part you need, you pay very little extra to throw in a few filters and a can of diesel purge.

Tom, You are right on target! Remember TANSTAAFL? Free is one of the most overused terms in all advertising! The more appropriate statement would be Orders over $99 shipped at no direct charge to you. We all should know that those $'s are somewhere in the cost of doing business and incorporated into mark up. Personally, I would rather just pay the product price plus the going UPS/USPS/FedEx shipping cost. As a business owner, I certainly would want to know how much my free shipping costs are (% of total $'s of orders over $99) and spread that cost when pricing my products. One more thought - Actual shipping costs are based on weight and volume (size of box). Why is free shipping based on order amount? Just an inquiring mind!

$550 for Tex seat covers is something I would definitely consider after I get the more important things sorted out like the AC compressor and radiator.

Re: [MBZ] CHevy 305/350 WAS- High mileage badges
In my quest to replace my aging Dakota (211,000 miles and rust) I came across an '87 K5 Blazer with a mere 89,000 miles. Checking fueleconomy.gov its only about 1mpg worse on the highway than my Dakota... Boy I like the old body style Blazers, big and confortable. Good in the woods, not bad on the road and really not all that bad on gas all things considered.

When that started burning oil I had an old guy (in his 80s now, complaining but still doing engine work, built AJFoyt's first race engine back when) build me up a 350 -- he put on Vortec heads (they flow better, aluminum) and an Edelbrock intake, ZZ4 cam and some other stuff, but we used the TBI on it. It never did run right -- I think the cam/heads are not well matched to what the old TBI computer can do. I found a laptop program and made up a cable to watch the computer, it looked like everything was fine but it runs rich. Wouldn't pass emissions (at the legit places) so I sorta retired it. I still have that truck, been trying to sell it but body is rusted and no one will pay for the engine/drivetrain which is quite solid, so I might strip it down, keep the good bits, and scrap the rest. It would run well with a 4bbl or a newer FI set up, but the 4bbl won't pass inspection and a new FI is pricey. Before I had him do mine, I drove a truck he had just built/put a 350 in, that thing about scared the scheiss out of me. I punched it going about 60, tranny downshifted and the rear tires screeched and let go, I backed off then and said good enough for me. I have my dad's 96 Chevy truck now, with the 305. He got the smaller engine when he bought it thinking it would be easier on gas, but there is really no difference between it, my old Blazer, and the 2000 Burb with the 5.3.

I haven't gotten to that point yet. It's exciting enough just flying it. I think that the photography would rather easy though. There are no windows to open and the sides are right down at my waist, so there is the calm feeling of being cradled inside something (just in case one was to be inclined toward agoraphobia or some such odd affliction) yet there is the freedom to lean over and look straight down if you are too lazy to pull it up onto one wing and just look straight down that way.

Re: [MBZ] Beaver/Otters
Back in the 90's when my mother still lived in Alaska we used a Beaver to fly all over the place and land on remote lakes in the mountains and fished off the plane. I have some pics that I took on 35mm film from that trip around here somewhere that I have never developed. Wonder if I found them if they would turn out barry Stark wrote: Well, I never had the opportunity to ride in an Otter or Beaver but I'm racking up some serious time in the cabin of Twin Otters. My department does a lot of work designing and testing prototype sensors and we very often use Twin Otters, with a big hole in the belly to look down from, as our test platform. I know they are not quite the same as the singles but man are their big brothers ever the ultimate work horse. You can pile almost anything in the cabin at almost any station and those planes just shrug it off. Truly impressive utility airplanes. Not only that you can slow flight while taking data if required. We use Twin Otter International out of Colorado and Las Vegas for our rides. Scott Siebold has about 17 of these great planes.

It went away for the most part when I was driving [sunroof opened a bit] but returned every time I parked it. My nightmare after the 's I put into my baby is an evaporator leak. It is not an option to go without AC here [which is why there was no one living in FL until the 1950's when cars got AC...] I took it to my mechanic and was told [to my great relief] that R12 substitute should smell somewhat sweet, not like acetone. After a through check of the car I finally found a spray can that apparently got caught under the seat when I moved it back yesterday. It had a tiny pin hole that had been leaking for 24 hours when I found it and the can was still abut 1/4 full, and still leaking.

As a business owner, I certainly would want to know how much my free shipping costs are (% of total $'s of orders over $99) and spread that cost when pricing my products.

Re: [MBZ] MBTex/leather interiors on eBay - reputable?
On my 111 coupe the new headliner involved removing front and rear glass plus the wood in front, plus 20 hours skilled labor, then reinsertion of the glass front and rear by an expert, and finally the nerve-wracking re-installation of the bowed wood w/s pieces and rear view mirror.

Re: [MBZ] OT Free Shipping?
I guess Rusty could defeat the $75.01 game by lowering his prices so much that it would be almost impossible to assemble an order costing more than $75.00, thus requiring value shoppers to pay a hated shipping charge. Diabolical!! On Feb 12, 2008 2:11 PM, Tom Hargrave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Free shipping is based on order amount because free shipping is used to motivate customers to buy more. It's the same with my business. I offer $10 off any order $125 and up or $25 off any order $250 and up. And because of these specials, the majority of my orders fall into the $125 - $150 and $250 - $300 ranges. I used to do the same with orders to Rusty when the 300SDL was my main driver. I'd order parts and would add in oil fuel filters to reach the free shipping point. This really is the best way to order from Rusty anyway, regardless of who is really paying for shipping. Once you pay to ship the part you need, you pay very little extra to throw in a few filters and a can of diesel purge.

Tom, You are right on target! Remember TANSTAAFL? Free is one of the most overused terms in all advertising! The more appropriate statement would be Orders over $99 shipped at no direct charge to you. We all should know that those $'s are somewhere in the cost of doing business and incorporated into mark up. Personally, I would rather just pay the product price plus the going UPS/USPS/FedEx shipping cost. As a business owner, I certainly would want to know how much my free shipping costs are (% of total $'s of orders over $99) and spread that cost when pricing my products. One more thought - Actual shipping costs are based on weight and volume (size of box). Why is free shipping based on order amount? Just an inquiring mind!

I always heard good things about that engine. As I wrote earlier, the 305 in my 78 Malibu was an awesome engine that was embarassed by its (multiple) autmatic transmissions. The dealer put 2 replacement Jasper ATs in under warranty (I'm *so* happy * bought the used car warranty!) and both failed early IMO - even though I maintained it as per the manual. When the AT was working properly it was an awesome car - very quiet, smooth and responsive. Of course, when compared to my 69 280S there was little difference in the feeling of having a proper ride. The MB did something I've only seen in MBs (all my MBs) - at about 80mph they seem to hunker down and the suspension become supple and firm at the same time. Expansion strips in the interstate disappear and wind noise even reduces. I guess it's the sweet spot - The Chevy's shortcomings were the interior trim which seemed to be made as cheap as humanly possible.Even things like the fasteners holding wiring and plumbing in place were cheap and as such failed to stay *tightly* connected. Little things like that turned me off the Chevy although I would like to try a mid 90s Impala SS, a new Impala, Ford Crown Vic or better yet, one of the Mustang Bullit specials. I predict some people will put them away for 20 or 30 years then put them up for auction at Barrett Jackson and make a bundle. Personally, I'd rather enjoy it.

Re: [MBZ] MBTex/leather interiors on eBay - reputable?
Would ultimately like to do that. As I said, the carpet is getting a bit crispy. Going off on a tangent, are the interior upholstery pieces available individually or just as the whole set? I wonder what color match would be like with old stuff. I have a hole in the seat on the driver side base because the horsehair pad wore out and the previous owners didn't do anything to protect the cover from the springs. I have since repaired the base with the means shown on one of the websites but did not try to repair the small hole.
