Re: [MBZ] Why You Need to Wrap Your Car Key Fob in Foil
Or, better yet, foil the thieves by having an older MB with an analog key made of steel, and house keys made of brass or steel. Reminds me of when in about 1996 one of my son's friend was over. he wanted to call home. We had on the wall the wall phone we had moved everywhere with us. He looked at it and said "I don't know how to make a call on that phone." He had never seen a dial phone. sometimes the best security is being a luddite. Not many hackers trying to hack your winders 3.1 machine or even winders 98 now.

Re: [MBZ] reminded tonight how bad old diesels are in the snow
Schnee performance depends on: 1. Tire performance. (min of Blizzaks, max of hakkas) 2. See #1 (repeat) No fat tires. Stock size. The engineers picked the best tire size. 3. Driver experience/ability 4. Weight over drive wheels Note 1: Front wheel drive is less controllable in slick conditions than RWD. The contact patch between the tire and the pavement is the same size, regardless of RWD, FWD or 4WD. 4WD makes no difference in starting or stopping, but IS as uncontollable as FWD once the front tires lose grip. FWD and 4WD will put you in the diitch faster. Gimme an SDL on Blizzaks and I can go anywhere in ice or snow until it gets so deep the belly pan floats the car on the schnee. Note 2: You will notice the type of vehicle is not listed because it makes minimal difference. Scariest drive I ever had was in the crand caravan in 2006 or so when I got caught on the east shore of lake michigan with summer tars when it started to snow. All I tried to do was drive to the nearest wally world to buy winter tars. It was the worst white knuckle ever, and the schnee was not that deep yet. 1-3" Clay Monroe via Mercedes wrote on 3/8/19 3:52 PM: how is the BMW in the snow? clay monroe ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] reminded tonight how bad old diesels are in the snow
no comparison between "all season" and real schnee tars. Blizzaks have a Metzler heritage and are available at tar rack prices (ask for price match) at your local farstone dealer. They are available at competitive prices similar to a low-mid to mid range summer tar. hakkas are big bucks. Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote on 3/8/19 11:16 AM: Yes, admittedly the tires are not suitable for snow. They aren't old, but they are your standard "all season" touring tread and are doing nothing in the snow. Didn't buy snow tires for it this winter because I hadn't even planned on driving it.

Re: [MBZ] reminded tonight how bad old diesels are in the snow
Yes, admittedly the tires are not suitable for snow. They aren't old, but they are your standard "all season" touring tread and are doing nothing in the snow. Didn't buy snow tires for it this winter because I hadn't even planned on driving it. I like to keep it out of the salt. But circumstances changed. We're close enough to spring was hoping to get away with it. I think I have a couple of bags of hardened Sakrete and a few extra wheels in the garatge, I'll try throwing those in the trunk.

Cheaper to get a towing rider on your regular auto insurance policy. I believe Geico charges me something nominal like $15 per 6 mos. Allows for towing up to 25 miles plus unlimited jump starts.

Need better tires and some weight in the back. My 240Ds and 190Ds never let me down or left me stuck. My '85 190D once drove home in an epic snowstorm, I was climbing one big hill with a Toyota 4x4 next to me crab walking in 4wd with 4 wheels spinning. I had just gotten snow tires on the 190D and it walked right up the hill, 2nd gear, light on the accelerator, no issue. When I got home I was plowing 6" of snow. If I stopped I'd have to back up a few feet to get going again but once moving it'd keep going... -Curt On Thursday, March 7, 2019, 10:25:20 PM EST, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: Too much torque, weight all in the front.

Re: [MBZ] Triple A
Wife used to work for the SE AAA. Understand that AAA is not a nationwide organization, but a disparate group of regional companies that are loosely connected by name that offer benefits unique to that region’s owner/group. Thus the difference in benefits depending on where you live. Check the offerings closely, as you might find they don’t extend benefits outside of a given geographical area. -D > On Mar 8, 2019, at 8:40 AM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > It depends on where you are in the country.

Re: [MBZ] Triple A
It depends on where you are in the country. AAA of MN sucks. they paid for loading a car on the truck and 5 miles. A 20 mile tow cost me $70-80 WITH AAA and I am sure I could have negotiated $70 or less with a guy who owns a rollback. At the time I knew 2. One of them was AAA, but NOT they guy then sent. AAA MN also cancels you if you use the tow twice in a year. Daughter has AAA in the south. She gets unlimited 100 mile tows. We used that to get the FL POS home.

Re: [MBZ] New speakers for my 124 cars
The door speakers are bass only in later cars with the active bass system, which had a separate amp. Sometimes it’s not obvious they’re working until you turn them up. They typically last much longer than the dash speakers. On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 12:07 PM Max Dillon via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Thanks! No middle / door speakers.
