That car is hosed. You'd better dump it fast. I'll give you $500 for it. Kaleb might too. I hear he is short of cars. Muffler on my '95 E300 no longer muffles. Pipe is broken at the joint just aft of the center muffler/baffle thing (or is that a catalytic converter?)

Re: [MBZ] 787 transition training
Re. "Inspection ever 100 hrs." I don't know what your experience with FAA approved inspection cycles for airplanes might be, so I don't wish to insult you. However, the driving rule with 100 hr. [or any other inspection for that matter, Annual, "A'' check, "B" check, "C" check, etc etc etc] is that the machine be returned to service with parts that meet or exceed original certified [by the FAA] manufacturers specifications. Cost is never an objective concern in reaching that apex of care, in aviation. If the part is only made and certified from "unobtainium" , then the replacement part must also be... etc. Also, if it does not pass inspection, it is illegal to operate it [fly]. For a few perfectionist car owners [very few] this might work.. For the common "auto user" meh... not so much..

I can't speak for an 85 model, but my 1979 300TD did not have the three point belts, but basic two point lap belts. I wonder if someone converted this car using an older seat and belts. It's certainly easy enough to do, as everything is prepped on the chassis to do it - you merely have to add the seat cushions and the belts. All the mounting points and everything are already there.

Re: [MBZ] Muffler repair
Max, My 95 developed a crack right at the flange also. I took another piece pipe a little larger in diameter and welded it to the pipe and the flange. The crack had propagated more than 360 degrees around the pipe. Luckily the crack didn't stay at the flange and moved away as it grew. When I fixed it there was about 1/4 inch between beginning and end. Repair is still holding. I have also replaced the rear muffler too, had to cut the pipe just ahead of the rear axle.

I got to fly on a BA 777 right after they came out, it was the second BOS-LHR flight for the airplane. It was brand new, smelled like a new car, and the BA crew were s excited to be on it (it was "their" airplane!). I spent a good time on the flt chatting them up and getting a tour of a lot of the features of the airplane, while sipping some very old Scotch agricultural products... One of the (very experienced) pilots popped back at one point for something, we got talking too and he was really really excited to be flying it.
