Re: [MBZ] Bullseye

2022-09-26 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes
My view on the matter is to stay through the event having a safe place to ride 
it out if it gets *really* bad (and the CAT 1s here have been scary enough) 
then once it passes take care of any compromising house damage if that is 
possible. And then to bug out if necessary. 

I have 30gal of gas for my generator to keep the fridge going and a few lights 
for a few days running it a coupla hours at a time, the fridge will stay 
cold/frozen for a good 6hr. The trouble here is that the power company will 
shut off power to keep energized lines and boxes and equipment from frying due 
to salt water intrusion. It will rinse out easy enough but shorted equipment is 
hard and expensive to replace. And in the aftermath it might take several days 
for crews to even get down to the end of the road. 

I have lots of canned and dry food to last for some time, plenty of ammo, 
2-90gal hot water tanks that stay hot for 4-5 days, and the poodles to keep me 
company and provide backup perimeter defense. Vehicles are also full of petrol, 
the ML500 would be the post-event ride. Plenty of diesel for my little tractor, 
and mixed for the chainsaw to deal with trees. And a bike!

We’ll get some rain and wind but it shouldn’t be too bad here post-landfall. I 
am concerned for the Poos situation though. Stay in touch and provide updates 
as you can. Ts&Ps headed your way.

Tomorrow evening is when the winds are supposed to start up.

I wouldn’t say a moment’s notice, but in a relatively short period of time. You 
must understand that you can’t go out in this sort of stuff. If you don’t bail 
before it gets here, you’re pretty much stuck for the duration.

No need with Mother Nature throwing 140 mph winds at it for a day. The roof is 
rated to 120 mph, so that’s a good enough margin it should lift or tear it off 
easily.

I’ve got everything inventoried and the important stuff packed and ready to go. 
I’ll be well prepared to complete the insurance claim.

Figure CAT3 (140 mph winds) or higher and churning in the Gulf for a day 
offshore. We will get beat to heck, not to mention the massive storm surge now 
estimated at 10’ or more that will hammer the bay at least twice during high 
tides. The better part of south Tampa will be under water as will most of 
downtown.

I’m hoping for near or total obliteration. Then I can relocate to AZ for good.

Re: [MBZ] It smells like cow crap all the time….

We went when overnighting there last year on the way to Flagstaff. It was 
underwhelming. Neither of our steaks had grille marks, which we thought was 
weird, it was more like they had been baked in an oven or something. When we 
asked why we got some flip response that made no sense. Truly a major tourist 
trap intended on playing up the reputation and not the quality.

I would never go back there, I’ve had better meals at fast food places.

Yes, I am currently here as it’s right next door to my hotel and I’m beyond

anyone showed up. I’m sitting at one of these big tables in the middle. I’m on

10 minutes after that somebody else comes in and they seat them in the middle. 
Still no sign of anyone. Before the hostess leaves I ask if anyone is working 
as I have been sitting here for 20 minutes. Finally about 10 minutes later 
waitress shows up. Takes the drink orders for everyone. Then starts taking

How big is the engine?
A 1.4L Cruze runs about .25-.28 gallons per hour, or closer to .35 GPH 
if the A/C is running.
The old 1.6L Rabbit diesel was said to burn a pint per hour, so a modern

The service rep at the dealership said there is a separate battery in the
Bluetec models that handles this feature ("Ecostart"), so the main battery
is unaffected.  Not sure how all this extra work affects (degrades) the

Re: [MBZ] “Special” Battery?

2022-09-26 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes
We had a rental car a couple of years ago that had the auto stop and 
start feature. It was a Chevy Malibu if my memory serves to be correct.


It was actually very seamless. I didn't realize it was doing it for a 
time. Stop at a light and the motor would shut off. Lift your foot off 
the brake and it would start and be running ready to go before I had my 
foot back on the gas pedal.


I see no point to it and assume it would put a lot of strain on various 
components but I was amazed at how smooth it was. Of course, we are 
talking about a new vehicle with hardly any miles on it. Who knows what 
it would be like as it got older?

For something like the Prius (?) this technology makes some sense.  The 
starter/motor is
large, and direct drive.  (No gears.)  Very little to wear, in other words, and 
with a truly
massive battery behind it.

Re: [MBZ] “Special” Battery?

2022-09-26 Thread mitch--- via Mercedes
When the 2016 Chevy Cruze obtained start-stop technology, it came with a 
beefed-up starter and a large AGM battery, along with smart charging and 
a current sensor in the battery cable so the car knows amp-hours in vs 
amp-hours out.  Certain temperature parameters must be met, climate 
control must not be in MAX/AC or DEF settings, and battery state of 
charge must be high in order for it to stop the engine. And if you're 
waiting for a train with your foot on the brake, it restarts in 2 
minutes.


I just checked with GM Parts Outlet, the battery is #1 on the battery 
parts diagram, but they don't give a corresponding part number or price. 
I assume it's $200-300.

I know nothing of these setups, other than to say that I had a BMW 3

the engine at every stop” feature which I was able to disable, thank
goodness.

As for a special battery because they do this, I’m calling BS. I have
often wondered if it’s harder on the battery and starter in cars with
this feature, or if the starter is somehow re-engineered because of
the much higher duty cycle.

That was the only year for the 420, next year and thereafter was the 430. 
Interesting car but kind of a poseurmobile

Re: [MBZ] “Special” Battery?

2022-09-26 Thread Bob Rentfro via Mercedes
For fun, I left it enabled this entire trip. 14 days, 3850 miles. The car shut 
itself off for 23 minutes, approximately, and saved a reported 0.195 gallons of 
fuel.

Not that I've ever heard.

Wife's car has that stop/start and it has a standard-looking 12v lead/acid 
battery.

I hate it too. I always disable it when I'm driving. Can't see how the pennies 
in gas it might save offsets all the extra wear on the starter.

Re: [MBZ] “Special” Battery?

2022-09-26 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
I know nothing of these setups, other than to say that I had a BMW 3 series as 
a rental this past weekend that had that infernal “shut off the engine at every 
stop” feature which I was able to disable, thank goodness.

As for a special battery because they do this, I’m calling BS. I have often 
wondered if it’s harder on the battery and starter in cars with this feature, 
or if the starter is somehow re-engineered because of the much higher duty 
cycle.

[MBZ] “Special” Battery?

2022-09-26 Thread Bob Rentfro via Mercedes
Took the Subaru for its service today, since we just put 3865 miles on it, and 
I overheard an interesting conversation. A Karen had brought in her Outback 
because it didn’t restart after having shut itself off at a stoplight.  The 
service girl was telling her these cars that shut themselves off at lights to 
save gasoline require “special” batteries that Subaru would gladly sell her at 
$450 a pop. 
I wanted to stroll over and toss the bullshit flag, but I wasn’t 100% certain. 
I know nothing about this shutoff feature other than it annoys me and I don’t 
really like it because that was my first thought: when the battery starts to 
die it’s going to die at an intersection in Phoenix when it’s 118, ambient. 
These don’t require a special battery do they?
