In my talking with the tech fellow at the factory (Wayne), I was told for
desulphating they recommend one battery per charger. Since our truck has
four batteries and I have other vehicles, too ...

This model of charger (12117TC) starts working at 6.5 V; if the battery
is lower than that, it won't start.

The model 1510 (which cannot be had at $19.95) starts working at 3.0 V,
or one could use a "dumb" charger to bring the battery up initially.

Wayne also said it takes 2 - 4 weeks to rejuvenate a battery.

[Clay via Mercedes]

That is the RedFin approach.  Since I am not in residence, and SWMBA is far too 
busy to get drug into the miasma of selling the place, we thought it best to 
have a pro do the dirty work.  Fewer fist fights and tears if I am not on the 
ground.  Also, I would work very hard to make the place all wonderful, but it 
would take me a few years to complete the task, and somebody is really really 
eager to be quit of the tax bill and to stop paying the bills or even 
contemplating upkeep for the place.  She has her own cabin in the woods that 
requires extensive repair.

Re: [MBZ] OT Hey Dan get on that gravy train quick!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Easiest way to do it and avoid all the BS is to engage a flat fee 
listing/realtor. You pay a flat fee, like maybe $500-$600, get a menu of 
additional services you might want, then they list it on the MLS and handle all 
the showings and scheduling. You set the buyer’s broker fee as well.

I’ve sold two homes this way, as well as a couple by FSBO, and the flat fee 
approach is well worth the expense of paying the buyer’s broker. We’ve set 
commissions as low as 1.5% and they’ll still show the place. It takes all the 
hassle out of the process and gets you the visibility you need on the local MLS.

The last house we sold cost us $600 + 1.5%. It sold the day after it listed to 
the first showing.

Seems there is a whole industry to make cash off idiots selling homes.  I had 
no idea that the stuff that should be part of the realtor magic wants paid.  
Staging, photos, 5 color glossy brochures, web page, 3D camera.  Even the 
“virtual” staging wants paid.  Take that out of you darn fee.  

With the market as hyped up as all the estate folks were chanting, what the 
heck do I need to pay you a five figure bonus to peddle the place?  Stuff a few 
folks through the door.  There is so little inventory, there will be enough 
people who will pay and not ask questions, just to keep from being over bid and 
having to prolong their searching while prices rocket up, supply tightens, and 
building material quintuples in price.

It will, but as an owner of a car with a rebuilt title, you've got to

Re: [MBZ] Nanny car adventure

[Clay via Mercedes]

No place to park the analogue vehicle.  HOA is harsh, and SWMBA is even worse 
about it.  It would have to be arctic climate proof and live within walking 
distance of the dwelling.  Maybe when the SEA ranch sells, I will gather my 
pennies.  Wait for the border to open again, and find a car for AlCan Adventure 
drive.

What calls to me would be a FJ 45 or Landy II

I am returned to GWN.  Adventure over the past weekend was to pick up SWMBA at 
the airport, drop off air freight shipping, then hit the homestead to gather 
last minute goods going to ND for the drive to Billings MT for car swap with #1 
boy.  Heading east was the decade old RAV4.  No nannies in the thing and it had 
just gotten major service with my demand that all fluids and filters be 
changed, I did not care how pretty they were to the technicians eye, make them 
new.

We only made 400 miles the first leg of the trip and overnight in ID. Did 
around 500 through all manner of twist and turns with continental divide the 
next day, meeting #1 boy at Costco and SWMBA getting into her new CRV.  
Overnight in Billings and then hit the road back west.  SWMBA did the initial 
leg with all the bells, whistles, and nannies engaged.  She was remarking every 
time a car passed or some active interference took place by the installed 
overlord.  I got the second leg and turned it all off except for adaptive 
cruise.  Damn thing still got up in my grill and told me I needed to stop for a 
cup of tea because I was obviously not paying attention in the manner it deemed 
I should be.  It also would not comply with my desire to set CC above the 
posted limit by more than three miles.  All manner of flashing on the display 
and warnings when I tried to make it go just a bit fast.  Cruise does not work 
above 90 anyway.

By the time I got back to the house to do the load out on the CRV to ship thing 
to GWN, I had to pull the SL out of the garage and bask in all the analogue 
glory to be able to re-center myself from nanny state overload.

Re: [MBZ] OT Hey Dan get on that gravy train quick!

[Clay via Mercedes]

That is what I am hoping for.  Realtor is at the property right now putting 
spit shine on it so he can list it for a few bux below seven figures (that gets 
more eyeballs, even though it is expected to be bid up by enough to purchase a 
Harvard Education).  This is a postage stamp lot with a great location in 
deepest darkest virtue signal land.  There is talk of including the SL as part 
of the purchase.  Still expected to take him longer to fly the drone for 
outdoor pix, set up the magic 3D cams and stitch them together for the walk 
through website, and collect the befouled face diapers after open house, than 
it will take to get multiple over-priced offers.  Should be closed before July.

 Thanks Craig, I did too.I'm super impressed with mine. I'm convinced it saved 
$300 worth of batteries on the Pisten Bully last winter. Those batteries were 
dead, they wouldn't hold charge worth a hoot. I put them on the Minder for a 
week and they took charge enough to crank the machine over for a couple minutes 
when we had to change the fuel filter in the street.

 I would agree with that. Especially if we're talking about a Model S and I

There are some features, like the backup camera, that are super well done. Many 
of the backup cameras I've seen are total potatovision, the Tesla is clear and

Recycling the "F-150 Lightning" nameplate for a truck involving 
electricity is OK with me. Especially since the Lightning trademark 
might have been aging into "use it or lose it" territory. (like the 
Cobra name when they came out with the Pintostang Cobra II that Jill 
Monroe drove in Charlie's Angels)

Calling an electrified mommywagon "Mustang" is ridiculous.

Re: [MBZ] Nanny car adventure

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

They even have “nannies” on RC cars. A few brands have active vehicle control 
(AVC), and then, Traxxas came out with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM). It 
controls traction by regulating the power of the motor/engine, and a gyro built 
into the receiver regulates the steering servo to keep the car straight as it’s 
sliding or bumping over rocks. Of course, for fun factor, most of the time, I 
keep mine off!! On the street, it has saved me from crashes when I get a little 
too wild.

Recycling the "F-150 Lightning" nameplate for a truck involving 
electricity is OK with me. Especially since the Lightning trademark 
might have been aging into "use it or lose it" territory. (like the 
Cobra name when they came out with the Pintostang Cobra II that Jill 
Monroe drove in Charlie's Angels)

Calling an electrified mommywagon "Mustang" is ridiculous.

It's not broken, unless he broke it out because the hood release cable snapped.
(That _is_ broken, I'll bet.)

Re: [MBZ] Left rear subframe mount rebuilt

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Excellent!  Inspiring work.

My blue 95 sedan has rust issues, and recently has weird rear suspension 
behavior, now I'm wondering if a rear subframe mount has broken loose.

Re: [MBZ] Must See!! A SURE STEAL! - $8,500

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Maybe 4500, given the low miles, but probably not even that.  In addition to 
the broken hood star, the "diesel" lettering on the trunk is falling off, so 
somebody has neglected this car.  White with a grey interior, a tad exciting 
for my taste...

Re: [MBZ] Green Exterior, Cream Interior 1974 Mercedes 450 SLC Coupe - $6, 490 (Conway)

Nice color combination, although I wonder why he upgraded the shifter knob
to zebrano when the rest of the console and dash areas are black vinyl.

Re: [MBZ] Left rear subframe mount rebuilt

[Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes]

I didn’t remove the old mount or the subframe. I cut out the rusted metal then 
thoroughly de-rusted the remainder - including inside the mount cavity with 
multiple applications of naval jelly over a period of several days. The 
remaining in tact mount (2 out of four walls) and thick baseplate was 
surprisingly strong enough to not collapse. I then welded 16 gauge sheet metal 
over the missing sections. I used weld through primer on the inside and back 
surfaces of the mount and new metal. I will spray the inside of the cavity with 
fluid film and replace the perished body cavity plugs with new ones once it’s 
all painted.

Nanny-cleanse, I love it.  Could be marketed as therapy to aging boomers.

Re: [MBZ] I think I need a 108 at Okie acres

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

A few years ago my dad had one and sold it, I think he got about $3500.  Had 
non-original wrong color seats, but was otherwise solid with no rust. 

This guy paid way too much, but he makes a good point, these are overall under 
valued.

How did you locate the new mount in the identical spot?  Did you make some kind 
of rig to measure the old mount location so you could identify new position?
