Re: [MBZ] 91 300D Needs to go

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

Hi Mitch,
Yes, it can be driven.  And yes, I drove it home from the shop when the 
rust was discovered. But I don't know how it would be on the road.  We 
kept it below 45 on the way home and it was approx. 10 mi.  By the time 
we got home the bearing was really roaring loudly.  I was worried it 
might seize.   The battery in it won't hold a charge for long, the one 
that was in it died and I had another around here I thought had a little 
more life in it than it does.  But I can charge it and it will start and 
can be driven somewhere close.


Actually a few people were interested in it but they planned to drive it 
and I persuaded them that wouldn't be a safe thing to do.  FYI, The 
connection between the top part of the suspension is not critical IMO, 
but the connection where the lower/front link attaches to the chassis 
would cause the tires to wear rapidly.


Are you asking me to store it for a while?

Larry

Yes, I recall that Larry has had rust issues that make the vehicle 
difficult and expensive to repair. When I saw Curley's post I was 
thinking he was referring to Dan's car and I could not recall if it had 
any issues apart from the AC and lots of miles.

I cannot recall, so refresh my memory. What is wrong with it apart from 
the AC not working?
If it runs and moves, Curley should just fly down, drive it to his 
winter quarters and then fly back north to pick up the missus and 
whatever else remains up there.

Re: [MBZ] OT Chevy

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

I hear you loud and clear. I had a 2002 F150 Supercrew and I now have a 
2013 F150 Supercrew. One sort of expects that each generation should get 
better as the designers tend to pay more attention to ergonomics than 
they once did.


However, on the 2013, they moved the ignition lock such that I cannot 
see it when sitting in the driver's seat unless I lean over and look for 
it. It was much easier to put the key in the ignition of the 2002 
because I could see the ignition lock without having to  contort myself 
to see the lock.


The second thing that annoys me is that the switch on the dash to change 
into 4 wheel drive is now behind the shifter when the truck is in drive. 
It is difficult to access in the winter when I am wearing gloves. It was 
fine in the 2002 version as it was in a different spot on the dash.

Re: [MBZ] OT Chevy

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Chevy, Ford and Chrysler have been making adequate, if not exciting, cars for 
over a decade now. If your goal was to have a toaster to take you from place to 
place I'd say one of the big three is the way to go.
While they're expensive if you check on a comparably equipped Toyota I think 
you'll find them similar if not cheaper.
Last week I had a bright red Kia Soul rental. Other than the very buzzy four 
banger its adequate transportation. I generally like Kias because they're 
brightly colored. Often I forget what my rental car is and lose it in a parking 
lot. A bright color helps.

Re: [MBZ] Who needs internal combustion, anyway?

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

Very 1984-esque:

*The International Politics of Perpetual War*

Whether or not the international relations described by Goldstein’s book
are intended to be true or not in the context of Orwell’s novel, perpetual
war is used to regulate both the international system and the societies
within it. Oceania, the superstate that governs the Americas, Australasia
and the UK, exists alongside two other superpowers: Eastasia (roughly
China, Japan, Indochina and Central Asia) and Eurasia (namely Russia and
the European continent). The three superstates retain their rough
geopolitical shape by claiming to fight over disputed land, mainly in
Africa, thus effectively rendering the war abstract and distant; it is also
alluded that the states are simply too powerful to ever defeat one another
– even with changing alliances – and also that there would be not advantage
in doing so anyway.

This latter point refers to Goldstein’s description of the regimes within
the polities, which he notes are almost identical. Airstrip 1 within
Oceania maintains *English Socialism*, Eurasia *Neo-Bolshevism*, and
Eastasia an amalgamation focusing on devil worship. There is, therefore, no
political benefit to gain for any of the three susperstates from
controlling one another’s territory. Thus the war is used by all three to
maintain the regimes and parties in power in their respective polities. It
has no actual material aims other than this.

*“War is Peace” – The Economics of Perpetual War*

This slogan of the Party, which maintains a totalitarian regime in the
province of Oceania based on socialist principles, is not as hypocritical
as first meets the eye. It is by this slogan that the citizens of Airstrip
1 as a whole are controlled. Peace, to the Party, is equivalent to the
upholding of the power relationships present in *1984*, and in terms of
socio-economics, promoting a constant state of war is the best method by
which to do this. The social structure renders around 85% of the population
of Oceania, known as the proles, in uneducated poverty; another 13%, known
as the outer party, under constant surveillance; and finally the last 2%,
the inner party, who hold power in the system.

Goldstein proclaims that increased productivity will inevitably lead to
socio-economic change, and so it is imperative to the Inner Party that the
fruits of production are not channelled down into the system. War is the
perfect consumer for the economic surplus – it is a justifiable means of
ensuring that public coffers remain static. Socially too, war provides
control for the Party, in the form of nationalism and focused xenophobia.
In short, perpetual war prevents the standard of living from changing, and
uses up all the motivation of the system by focusing it on an abstract
conflict.

*Conclusion*

In sum, perpetual war equals perpetual peace. The system remains static,
both nationally and internationally; boundaries and borders generally hold
their shape. The only material difference is that perpetual war provides a
‘rubbish chute’ for the surplus of production in a way that perpetual peace
does not. What the Party do to ensure this state of affairs is make
perpetual war appear to be limited war – i.e. they ensure that the people
of Oceania believe that the war can be ended by increased productivity and
nationalistic comradeship. The motivation behind all this is revealed by
ambiguous antagonist O’Brian towards the end of the novel: “that power is
not a means, it is an end. The object of power is power.”

Re: [MBZ] Could be decent, but still a bit high

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Which sounds more reasonable, 0-100kph in 7.0 or 7.8 seconds?
7.8 puts it in the same class as a 2016-2019 Chevy Cruze or US market 5sp 
2.3-16.
7.0 would put it close to my mildly tuned 2016 Cruze. (but I bet the 420E can't 
get 50mpg at 60mph)
