Re: [MBZ] Pink Wrap? YAAASSS, Please!!
If they have the "pink slip” (title) you’re good if you’re going out of state. If they don’t, and often times they don’t, the only way you can get it is by settling up with the CA DMV. If you remain in CA you’re screwed. I found this out when I bought the 62 300SE two decades ago and it had been in storage for 4+ years. The estate attorneys didn’t have the pink slip and it was going to cost me something like $2k to settle up on all the fees to get the title, which Florida insisted I have (no bill of sale.) In CA they actually charge an annual "non-operation” registration fee on cars that aren’t on the road. In other words, even if you park it you pay. B1 went to his AAA branch and had them run the numbers on it for me. It was something like $2200 for me to settle up with all the back fees and penalties to get the title, and I had to do it in person. I told the CA DMV to suck it and washed the title through a service in MS or AL for something like $500. Vermont wasn’t an option at the time as far as I know. -D > On Jan 26, 2022, at 9:29 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes > wrote: > > Don’t you still have to payback registration even if you aren’t in Cali?

Re: [MBZ] Cognitive Dissonance Much?
On second thought, solar panels may good to prevent the big battery from becoming an expensive brick during long-term parking. For example if you park at the airport and fly off for a two-week vacation (never use the parking garage). I have read of cases (pre-Tesla, I think) where the battery went into self-protection lockdown while parked and the only fix was a new battery. Not sure if the new batts can be saved or not in that scenario. -Original Message- From: Mercedes On Behalf Of Allan Streib via Mercedes Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2022 12:24 AM To: Mercedes Discussion List Cc: Allan Streib Subject: Re: [MBZ] Cognitive Dissonance Much? My attempt at "doing the math:" solar radiation at noon on a clear day is, from what I can tell, about 1KW/m^2. How many square meters on a car roof? Maybe two or a little more? Photovoltaic cells are 20% efficient at best. So you have 400-450 Watts to work with at noon, less before and after. That will impart some charge to the battery, but even in an 8 hour workday it won't be enough to put back what you used driving to work.

Re: [MBZ] Cognitive Dissonance Much?
Apparently there is a rule, sounds like implemention was delayed a bit but maybe by now it is in force? So the newest EVs and Hybrids should have noisemakers to alert pedestrians to their presence below 19MPH. Not sure this really helps a cyclist with an EV passing at 30MPH, but I see so many people cycling with ear buds these days that I'm thinking it might not make a lot of difference. https://www.inverse.com/article/23731-nhtsa-electric-cars-make-noise On Wed, Jan 26, 2022, at 5:51 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: > Dunno, but this thing doesn’t make any noise.

Re: [MBZ] Cognitive Dissonance Much?
Other than the car payment aspect, I could deal with the rest of these. However, and not to beat the proverbial horse, I don’t see these being any better for the environment for a wealth of reasons that have already been addressed. When you consider the materials required for the batteries you could probably make the case that they’re worse. My former employer had free charging stations for EV drivers, so if you played your cards right you could even unload much of the charging cost off to them. A neighbor has one of the Korean EVs, I don’t recall the brand. I dislike it from the standpoint that I can’t hear it. We live on a cul-de-sac, which at one time was filled with kids. I can see where the lack of noise could cause an accident as you don’t hear it coming. -D > On Jan 26, 2022, at 2:44 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > To me they would make sense for the person who: > > - considers car payments to be a normal monthly budget item; finances new > cars or leases them > > - has very predictible driving that falls within the vehicle range limits > > - has a garage or nightly parking where a 240VAC charging point (or better) > can be installed or is provided, or has a "supercharger" that is on a routine > route and has time to stop and use it as needed. > > - is willing to tolerate the hassle of renting a car when needed for > convenient travel beyond range limits. > > > On Wed, Jan 26, 2022, at 2:14 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: >> Some friends of mine in Houston sold both their gassers some years ago >> and bought teslas because they liked the technology and the idea of >> them, they mostly drove in town, occasional trips of maybe a couple >> hundred miles, so for them an electric made a lot of sense.

Re: [MBZ] Cognitive Dissonance Much?
I suspect this covers most people. Remembering that most people don't even know how (or why) to check the oil in their car... I also know that my friends in LA live in about a 5 mile radius of their house. Which is to say they rarely leave a 5 mile radius because traffic is so bad that it'd take too long to get any farther. So they only rarely need any extra mileage. I suspect this is true for most people that live around any large cities. We have to acknowledge that we are outliers... -Curt On Wednesday, January 26, 2022, 02:45:57 PM EST, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: To me they would make sense for the person who: - considers car payments to be a normal monthly budget item; finances new cars or leases them - has very predictible driving that falls within the vehicle range limits - has a garage or nightly parking where a 240VAC charging point (or better) can be installed or is provided, or has a "supercharger" that is on a routine route and has time to stop and use it as needed. - is willing to tolerate the hassle of renting a car when needed for convenient travel beyond range limits.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
> Does it dehumidify even while in heating mode? Almost certainly not, other than the natural decrease in RH as the temperature goes up with a fixed amount of moisture in the air. To actually _remove_ moisture you have to _cool_ the air to get below the dew point, and then drain it away, and then heat the air back up to the desired temperature.

No, no - "understated" or "subtle", which is what you want if you are the sort of old money type who would enjoy driving that to the club.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
> I need to get heat in my garage. It is roughly 24x54 and located in midcoast > Maine. The 'best' choice involves many factors. There is the capital cost up front, the expected operating cost per hour, and the amount of time the capital investment will last. (I.e. how long until you have to replace it all and start over.) Plus, maintenance needs. Heat pumps give you a 3x (?) multiplier per BTU put in via electricity. But, they're more money and don't last forever. Electric heat is cheap up front and lasts basically forever, but has probably the highest operating costs. OTOH if infrequently used it could possibly be the best value. I think that fuel-based heat is driven towards parity with electricity by market factors (think greedy investor types), and no longer is the cheapest way to heat. I am told that radiant floor heat gives the most comfort per BTU, so is that a possibility? (I laid the pipes in my garage when it was built, as that was cheap to DIY, but have taken it no further than that.) DO you need AC and/or dehumidification in any significant amount?

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
The mini-split I had put in the casita, which is on the back of the garage, is 24,000 BTU, much larger than required (16-18,000 was originally specified.) I was hoping it was one that could run multiple head units, as I would have put one in the garage, but it was a single system only. The contractor that did the work had the 24,000 unit on the shelf from a job that got cancelled so they sold it to me for the same price as they owed me a favor for getting them some referrals. It was $3400 installed complete, which I thought was a pretty good deal. I know I could have done it myself, but I didn’t have the time and I wouldn’t have gotten the 10 year warranty, either. I saw this 75,000 BTU Reznor heater on FB marketplace a couple weeks ago. Since I wasn’t out there at the time I let it go, but I noticed it was still for sale the other day, so I reached out to the seller and told them if they would take $700 I would pick it up on Saturday when I return to Flagstaff. I have to pick it up, but once that’s done I’ll start getting serious about doing the ceiling and getting the insulation guys over to give me a quote. I’ll hang the heater and do the electrical, I probably need to find a plumber to do the gas line. -D > On Jan 26, 2022, at 10:51 AM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes > wrote: > > I have a minisplit in my garage and find it to be great solution.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
Last week I noticed one of my m-s units was cycling a lot, it was like 34F and damp/wet with rain and crap. I looked at the condenser and about half the fins were frozen up and the cycling was to thaw off the frost. I had not noticed that before, I think it was due to the dampness. This unit has 2 head units on it and it was having trouble keeping the rooms warm which was annoying. i should probably get it checked to make sure it is topped up with refrigerant and running properly. I have another unit with 4 head units that serves my new addition (timber frame with SIPs and double pane glass, well-insulated), one is in the kitchen (12k BTU) which has about a 20ft open ceiling to a loft above. I put another unit (12k) up in the loft but have not needed to run it as the one below in the kitchen space actually warms that whole space, surprisingly. I have a fan hanging from the roof peak that I run to keep the air circulated and it is warm down below. It was not cycling. That unit serves 2 heads (9k each) in the MBR and adjacent bath, I actually only run the unit in the bath and the bedroom stays mostly warm (cool for sleeping is not bad). I put another set (one condenser, 2 head units) in for 2 other bedrooms (one for each above/below) and usually just keep those rooms closed off and don't run them, but when it was down around freezing I ran the downstairs for a coupla days to help out the system that was having trouble. House was OK with those running. I have 3 separate units in the house now to replace an ancient forced air central heat pump/AC unit. I like that I can pick and choose which to run and they are a lot more efficient than the single central unit that served (and not well) the old part of the house with ducts and baseboard vents. --FT On 1/26/22 10:35 AM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: I would add that if you’re looking at single unit heat pumps, much like would be used in a house, it’s going to be pricey and may not work efficiently down to the lowest temperatures. The mini-splits are far more efficient at low temperatures, like one I just had put in the casita (360 SF) at the Flagstaff house - it is over 80% efficient at -4F. The large household units aren’t nearly as efficient, or so I found, when it comes to low temps. And the ones that are can be quite pricey.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
I have a minisplit in my garage and find it to be great solution. The initial goal was heat, but the AC is a real luxury.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
No idea. I have 2 big overhead heaters in my shop but have never got propane setup and delivered. Anytime I think about it it’s when the price is high and I always say I will wait.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
Because I stumbled across the Reznor heater for cheap and I have natural gas to the garage. A mini-split would have been about $3k-$4k, depending on size. And I don’t care about AC, as a “hot” day in Flagstaff is mid-80s with 20% humidity. -D > On Jan 26, 2022, at 10:43 AM, Dimitri Seretakis wrote: > > Why didn’t you opt for mini splits in your garage? > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Jan 26, 2022, at 10:33 AM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes >> wrote: >> >> I bought a Reznor UDX 75,000 BTU natural gas heater for my 24’ x 30’ three >> car garage in Flagstaff.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
I am pretty much a heat pump believer. Even during the coldest months with some days it running almost non stop for a day at a time our highest electric bill is maybe $250. With natural gas the gas bill would probably be close to that plus another $100-$150 electric bill.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
I would add that if you’re looking at single unit heat pumps, much like would be used in a house, it’s going to be pricey and may not work efficiently down to the lowest temperatures. The mini-splits are far more efficient at low temperatures, like one I just had put in the casita (360 SF) at the Flagstaff house - it is over 80% efficient at -4F. The large household units aren’t nearly as efficient, or so I found, when it comes to low temps. And the ones that are can be quite pricey. I wonder if it would make sense to do a mini-split with multiple (indoor) units? Floyd has some experience here, maybe he’ll chime in. -D > On Jan 26, 2022, at 10:16 AM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > Around here if utility natural gas is available that is the cheapest way to > go.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
I bought a Reznor UDX 75,000 BTU natural gas heater for my 24’ x 30’ three car garage in Flagstaff. A local had a brand new one in the crate they bought but ended up not needing. I think it was around $1100 retail, I offered them $700 cash and they took it. My exterior walls are 2x4 with roll insulation and a vapor barrier. Doors are composition and don’t seal well (I can see light around them when inside with the lights off) but I’ll be addressing that. Lastly, I’ve got to drywall the 14’ ceiling joists (ugh!) so I can put insulation up there, then it should be pretty tight. I’ve got to get a quote from my insulation guys, not sure if I’ll just do batts/roll insulation or have them do blow-in. I’m not sure it’s worth the money to do blow-in since it won’t be heated year-round. Winter climate isn’t too much different from where you are other than it gets into the teens and occasionally single digits at night - but - days can easily “warm” to the 40s-50s. -D > On Jan 26, 2022, at 9:51 AM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes > wrote: > > I need to get heat in my garage.

Looks fairly nice and sounds reasonably well cared for. Manual trans would be worth extra (at least to me), but $10K is a fantasy.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
Around here if utility natural gas is available that is the cheapest way to go. Not sure about relative rates where you are. If you need to have propane trucked in, that is more expensive, but still cheaper than electric baseboard / resistance heat, here. I've never had heat pump or geothermal heat so can't really comment on those options.

Re: [MBZ] Garage heating options
The nice thing about heat pumps is you essentially get AC "for free". Where you are they should be good for all but the coldest nights. Since you're talking electric heat in the bathrooms anyway (I'd say drain one of them for the winter) then let the place go cold on those really cold nights to save $$.

Re: [MBZ] 722.9 4matic transfer case rebuild surprisingly easy
There is a supplier called Transtar I think that sells all the rebuild kits with the clutches and seals and such and rebuild shops use them (I think this guy mentioned them in some vid I watched), and of course there are kits all over on eBay which are probably OK if you get something with a brand name but who knows WTF might show up.
