Pursue an idea that looks impossible on paper. Sometimes, to every ones surprise, it works; but more often it doesn't. Look at all the failed ideas throughout the automotive industries history. On paper there are far too many variables to turn a vehicle loose on nearly any kind of road without a driver. Will driverless trucks keep going when the roads are iced over? Think of how many variables that adds to the equation.

Would like to borrow again later, once I get the white whale head installed and get that back on the road.

Any spring compressor needs to be treated with respect, even the expensive Klann tool can fail if you aren't careful.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes/Cyberdyne Truck
Big difference with trains over trucks. The day when businesses had rail spurs to unload boxcars of goods vaporized over 50 years ago. If you have a chain store warehouse, your goods are delivered by thousands of trucks. Those trucks drive among the general population which we all know and love at rush hour, who are busy texting, doing their nails, or reading a book while commuting at 70+ MPH, and making really dangerous and stupid driving mistakes. While I applaud the engineers for their wonderful machine run by multiple computers and sensors... I also have a solid appreciation of the idiot savants issued driving license. The battle between a semi tractor/trailer with 80,000 lbs. of goods and the commuter smart car driver, is one nobody wins. Snappy idea.. practical application.. Mehahh...

[MBZ] Another tire string?
Time for another tire string? Very young grandson is working in Raleigh and needs winter tires. Can some of you folks who live in that area suggest a brand, type, etc. that would be best for a 2011 Honda Pilot? Also, I remember from several winters back that nearly everyone agreed that a certain tire made in (Sweden?), (Finland?) or another Nordic country was the absolute best snow and ice tire. It was very unusual to see nearly everyone agree on a tire discussion.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: Springy compressor
Yeah looks like mine, which I have had for a while and works pretty well, except that the hole in the 123 is too small by a bees whisker, if I had a lathe I would have been tempted to take a smidgen off the compressor to make it fit betterer. My guess is that the cheap one is reveres engineered? Hendrik who is changing the ATF in the Benz at the moment On 07/07/14 21:52, Dan Penoff wrote: This is the spring compressor I was offered.
