Re: [MBZ] November 15th in Michigan
I think that the law requires the deer to be secured to the vehicle on the exterior, with the proper registration tag attached to the deer, so that DNR officers can easily check to see if the deer is a legal kill or poached. Last time I got a buck, it rode on the trunk of a '67 Plymouth VIP (with Commando V8) to the meat processor, and then rode in the back seat (in the form of steaks, burger, sausage) on the trip home.

[MBZ] how to correctly remove the windshield washer squirters
Due to a hood repaint of my '85 300TD by a previous owner with incompatible paint I'm considering removing the hood, stripping to bare metal, sanding, priming , and taking the hood to a local paint guy who has agreed to paint it for for me. Can anyone on the list direct me as to how to correctly remove the windshield washer squirters in the hood? TIA. G. M.

[MBZ] Fuel stabilizer
I'm seeking answers about products such as Sta-Bil which claim to preserve your supply of gasoline and prevent it from deteriorating. 1. How long before gas deteriorates to the point of concern? I've heard 20 days and I've heard 30 days. 2. What exactly is it preventing? A bad smell, varnish? 3. How long will these products hold off the inevitable deterioration? 4. What is the shelf life of an unopened container of this stuff? 5. Shelf life of a container that has been partially used? 6. I've heard mixing old gas with new makes it OK to run in a car. Correct? 7. Does this stuff work for diesel fuel? 8. Will adding a can of fuel system cleaner (like Chevron Pro-gard) ) undo any harm that came from using old gas? this also apply to lawnmowers? Be interested in getting informed opinions.

Re: [MBZ] how to correctly remove the windshield washer squirters
Can anyone on the list direct me as to how to correctly remove the windshield washer squirters in the hood? TIA. There are plastic ears on the stem that goes through the hood, they need to be squeezed in so that the squirter pops up through the hood. Can be hard to do without damaging the paint.

Re: [MBZ] Front end squeeks. 87 300D
Also, I turn left and I turn right center and back left again and on the second left it does not squeek. Slow turning brings no squeeking. I had the car on a 2x6 and had friend turn left and right and I could feel vibration in dust shield, springs, sway bar but not the control arm. You know I might have damaged the steering shock on accident this last week with the 5 speed swap. -Rolf On 11/17/2010 9:17 PM, Rolf wrote: Supported control arm and the squeaking stops. -Rolf On 11/17/2010 6:02 PM, Rolf wrote: Lemforder I think.

[MBZ] OT Trailer
OK so today I found a used trailer in really good condition and bought it for what I thought was a good price, from a big trailer place that does a lot of business with racing teams, seemed legit. Some guy had just traded this one in on another one, it looked barely used. 16ft with a 2ft drop end and removable ramps, and elec brakes, tires almost new, they had serviced it. I told the guy I wanted a 7000lb he says yep this one has 2 3500lb axles, rated 7000lb. So then I get home and it says Gross Weight 5000lb stamped on the tongue (which the guy looked at and told me, I did not have my spectacles so couldn't make it out). I call him up, he says the trailer is 2000lb and it can haul 5000lb, but he was gonna check and call me back, which he did not do late this afternoon. Anyway, to me, gross weight is full-up weight of the trailer plus load, not just the load.

Re: [MBZ] Coup
My point exactly. I have had a couple of MBs that came with a yellow tag on the key, although they did NOT come from a dealer. I have left the yellow on to ID the key being matched to that car. Seems practical to me, but I am sure it offends Woger's Stealership taste. Anyway, they only last a couple of years, before they disintegrate.
