Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS
LE officers are trained to shoot to stop an attack, which is most reliably done by firing at center mass. This may result in the death of the attacker, but stopping the fight is the goal, not the death of the attacker. If the attacker can readily be stopped by less lethal means, such as OC spray or a baton, then that is the preferred method. If he's grabbing for the taser, and likely to get it from you because of superior strength or position, then use of a firearm is justified. Doing stupid things carries serious risks!

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS
Actually, one of the most effective placements of a projectile to take the fight out of the fight is a solid hit into the pelvis, ie center of mass, low. The pelvis bone is the foundation of the body. If it is shattered, the perp can not run and you regain control of the situation. However, in the seconds you have in a real confrontation, a tightly aimed discharge is simply not possible. Anyone who states, you should just shoot them in the leg, has never been in a life threatening confrontation. I challenge them to do a full on training scenario with it being video recorded and watch themselves after the fight. In todays real world scenarios, it's often more than one bad guy that is willing to do you harm also.. so how do you pick, how do you deploy the force available, and how do you survive, decisions must be made without hesitation..

Re: [MBZ] The Hoax of Global Warming Revealed
You know, I was thinking just last week as I sat in a 90,000 ton cruise ship, I wonder if all the giant ships running around all the oceans of the world contribute to the rise in sea level. I mean they'd have to right? A 90,000 ton ship displaces 90,000 tons of water. If my grandmother was right with A pint is a pound the world around then that ship displaces 180,000,000 pints of water doesn't it? I might have missed a zero there but you get the idea. Royal Caribbean has 22 ships and the one we were on was one of the smaller Panamax (can travel through the Panama canal) models. The last cruise we were on the ship was 150,000 tons and big oil tankers go well over 500,000 tons. To my mind theres an awful lot of water being displaced around the world.

One said the sea had risen 2 inches because the high water mark on a post in Crystal River had risen exactly 2 inches above the usual high water mark, and therefore he believed in global warming. The other fisherman said the new high water mark was due to all the boats from the marina making waves and that global warming and rising seas was a lot of hooey. After the riot was broken up someone called the government meteorologist in Tampa and ask him about the 2 inch rise in water level. He called Washington, the experts looked at the global warming program on their supercomputer, and said the 2 inch rise in Crystal River was correct even though no one from the government had ever actually measured it in Crystal River. By then the fishermen had sobered up, so they shook hands, became friends again, and their argument was never settled; just like the global warming argument will never be settled.

Sure.

It's a fantastic thing to have, as there is simply no way to dispute paint thickness when trying to determine if a car has had bodywork done on it. Magnets can't always reveal the thickness of Bondo, but a repaint or touch-up will always yield a measurable difference in paint thickness. It also doesn't matter if the panels are steel or aluminum, either. Even production paint jobs will have variations, but what you're looking for is a significant change in the fill or paint thickness in a given area. Since shops will often blend or fill in, you can see the paint thickness get thinner as you move away from a repaired area. On a production paint job the thickness should be pretty consistent across a given area, if not the whole car. You also want to check paint thickness in areas like door jambs and around openings like the trunk as these areas will often have much less paint that outside areas around them if there have been repairs.

Re: [MBZ] Ya Gotta Love It!
These have been around for a long time in industrial applications. They're nothing more than an instrument that measures the thickness of a coating, in this case, paint. It just measures the thickness of the coating (paint) relative to the substrate (steel or aluminum body panel) The consumer grade gauges don't work on plastic. That's because they typically rely on using magnetism or eddy currents to sense the thickness of the coating. To do this on plastic panels you need an ultrasonic gauge. The consumer grade gauges aren't super accurate, but more importantly, they allow you to see the consistency of the paint thickness, which is really what you need to know to tell if there's been bodywork.

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS
In response to Andrews speculation. Yesterday, in excess of 280,000,000 gun owners in America committed no illegal acts, shot no one, and went peacefully about their business, many of those with their personal gun on their person. I do realize you live in the District of Corruption where the Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms is violated with impunity, however, the 50 States [a majority of them] do not violate that Right. I speculate you could benefit greatly from attending a firearms training class where you would be schooled in the responsible ownership and carry of a firearm. I invite you respectfully to do that.

Atta Boy Wilton ! People who make bad choices reap the results.

None of those choices are connected with your race, but your attitude. Attacking a police officer, in the conduct of his duties, is a felony act in, I believe, all 50 states. An officer may use deadly force, if required, to stop a felony act in progress, as most all those laws read..

Plus, what he had done to that Benz was in itself worthy of a lightning strike.

Re: [MBZ] The Search Continues....
I've been doing that for years but for it to really work you need to have a very cheap car and be able to do the work yourself. One major expense with a mechanic and all your savings are gone. My '83 240D was my best effort to date with about 25,000 miles for the cost of about $2,500 which includes oil changes. That car was a jalopy though and I didn't dare take it any farther than the 100 miles round trip to work and back. At the end it leaked/consumed oil so bad that I was using CarQuest 15w40 conventional which was the cheapest oil I could find and I was using the drain oil as makeup between oil changes. While it did suffer an oil related failure that finally ended its life it was failure of an oil cooler bypass hose not any problem with the oil itself. In the end I'd bought the car for $400 (the second time I bought it) and sold it for $200, plus I'd sold a bunch of parts for around another $100 so I came out real good. The Jetta is doing pretty well, I've put I think 25,000 miles on it with maybe $4000 invested (which includes buying the car and both summer and winter tires plus buying the second set of rims) if nothing big goes wrong I should be approaching the '83 240D by the end of this year... -Curt From: Andrew Strasfogel astrasfo...@gmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2015 11:08 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] The Search Continues I still it's best to buy the cheapest daily driver, and to improve/repair it over time as you soak up the miles.

[MBZ] OT - A COUNTRY BOY REMEMBERS; SUMMERS WITH RICHARD
'Nother one already! Some of you may have seen part of this one before - the moonshine-dumping episode. SUMMERS WITH RICHARD By Wilton Strickland I spent most of the summers of 1946, '47 and '48 with my oldest brother, Richard, on a tobacco farm in Edgecombe County near Rocky Mount, NC. I saved most of the money I earned helping him and his neighbors harvest tobacco to buy a bicycle and school clothes. 'Never had anybody go shopping for clothes with me after I turned 12. As usual, I was the trucker, in charge of driving the mules pulling small trucks of tobacco from the fields to the curing barns where a crew of adult women and teenage girls would loop it onto sticks to facilitate hanging it in the barns for curing/drying. The women/girls seemed to take great pleasure in teasing me about how handsome I was and which girl should be the first to kiss me. I have since somewhat regretted disappointing all of them. The oil-fired furnaces in the barns produced pieces of soft, black carbon residue that was removed when the burners were cleaned. The carbon was excellent for writing on the sides of the galvanized sheet steel-covered barns. The girls and I, especially the girls, used the pieces of carbon to write silly poems and draw cartoons and caricatures on the barns. Much of it was about who was in love with whom on that particular day, and my name was often involved. (More than fifty years later, about 1999, I was driving past this farm and noticed that one of the barns was still standing with the outer, galvanized sheet metal (tin) still in place and still unpainted. I wondered if our graffiti were still there. I made my way to the barn, and sure enough - there was our silly artwork just as we teenagers had left it, including several caricatures of me that the girls had drawn! I regret not having a camera with me that day; I went back with a camera several months later and was very disappointed to find that the barn had been demolished and the site cleared.) On the mile or so path from the tobacco barns to the back fields, I had to cross (ford) a small stream with the tobacco trucks. This was no problem at all going to the field with an empty truck - I simply rode inside the truck as the mule pulled it through the water. Crossing the stream with a heavy truck full of tobacco, though, was quite another matter, indeed, especially as it got later in the season and ruts on the stream bed got deeper and more numerous. The truck would jostle or tilt violently back and forth with me standing on the back of it trying to counter the truck's moves and keep it upright. I sometimes was unable to keep the truck upright, though, and would have to call for help at the top of my lungs. I always felt guilty and embarrassed that I had allowed the truck to turn over. The men in the field, however, never said a harsh word to me about it as we worked together to right the truck and get the tobacco out of the water and back into the truck. Also, a part of my job as trucker was to deliver water and other refreshments to the men in the field. I usually delivered water to them in a half gallon Mason jar filled en route to the field from a well near the house. For a special treat, I would go to a nearby store and purchase cold soft drinks (usually Pepsi) and a snack (salted peanuts, nabs, moon pie, etc.) for each primer and me. A favorite refreshment for me was to pour a small bag of salted peanuts into a bottle of cold Pepsi in the field and enjoy the drink and snack at the same time. During this time I also enjoyed conversation with the men and listening as they tried to outdo each other with their tall tales and some jokes that they thought I did not understand. I would wait until I got out of their earshot to laugh, sometimes, uncontrollably. I still remember and laugh at some of them occasionally. One day in the summer of '47, at 13, I was driving a mule pulling an empty tobacco truck through a field of tobacco on a shortcut to the field nearby where the men, including Richard, were pulling (priming) tobacco. Suddenly, the mule was startled by something between the rows of tobacco nearby. I stopped the mule and left the truck to investigate. I found several cardboard boxes filled with half-gallon jars of moonshine (illegal - non-tax-paid) whiskey, maybe, a total of 12 to 15 gallons. I was already aware of the misery caused by alcohol and was, as I still am, adamantly opposed to its excessive consumption. I opened every jar and poured the whiskey onto the ground. After pouring out all the whiskey, I proceeded to the adjoining field, where I excitedly and proudly told the men what I had found and what I had done with it. None of the four men showed any reaction at all. If any of them knew about the whiskey, they exercised remarkable restraint, especially, if one of them was the owner. The stash of whiskey was

In response to Andrews speculation. Yesterday, in excess of 280,000,000 gun owners in America committed no illegal acts, shot no one, and went peacefully about their business, many of those with their personal gun on their person. I do realize you live in the District of Corruption where the Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms is violated with impunity, however, the 50 States [a majority of them] do not violate that Right.

[MBZ] 350 SDL Tranny Issues
Hi all, Trans in my 350SDL with 289K started acting funny this winter…… If it’s cold out, 20F, If i drive off without a 5-10 minute warmup, the trans goes back and forth on the 3-4 shift. If I drop it down into 3 for a mile or two and then put it back into D, it’s shifts OK. Also, If have to stop in that 1’st mile or so when cold, the trans slips. (3K revs and the car barely moves) Once it warms up, it shifts fine….hard acceleration from stop gives smooth shifts; kick down works fine, too. A few days ago, it was close to 60 out, and dead cold, it shifted fine. Don’t know if it’s a B2 modulator (?), a vacuum issue or the trans is just on it’s way out. Trans fluid and filter changed religiously every 45K. A Benz mechanic told me that if it shifts fine when hot, it’s something external and not the trans. Any suggestions? Other than the usual “wait for the engine to self-destruct? g Thanks Angelo Giaimo 1990 350SDL 289K 2011 ML350BT 40K 2001 BMW 530i ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
