Floyd, it's time to pack up and head NORTH.  Our council members look
nothing like that bozo.

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

My father lives in Biloxi Mississippi.  One would think that the City Council 
there would be chock full of Bow Ties.  But, I don't see any here. 

https://www.biloxi.ms.us/departments/city-council/

I went to law school at Washburn University and the President of the University 
always wears a bow tie. 

He looks good in a bow tie.  http://www.washburn.edu/our-faculty/jerry-farley

Interestingly the mascot of the school is the "Ichabod."  It was named after 
Ichabod Washburn who donated money for the school.  Dr. Farley looks like the 
Mascot.  Thin and with a bow tie.

Around "Chaston" we got a bunch of old fops who like to wear bowties. They seem 
to think it confers on them some sort of air of trustiness or gravitas or something, but 
in general it just makes them look like fat old dandies who are trying too hard.

Some dudes can pull it off though, like my doctor, whose family has Chaston 
roots going way way back, so he is kinda grandfathered in on the matter.  They 
own the paper too, so I guess that confers a bit of respectability in some way.

Yes. We have two car washes that offer it.  First it was Legends (which became 
Zips) and the other one is Green Lantern.  I think both companies have multiple 
locations in the Midwest.   My current plan costs $33 a month.  It is exterior 
only with free vacuums.  It includes the wash, underbody wash, wax, and wheel 
cleaner/tire shine.  I can go through the wash as much as I want.  For me as 
long as I wash it 3 times in a month, it pays off.  Last winter it was great 
because I could wash it every other day to get the salt/sand off it.  It’s a 
black car, so it needs a frequent bath. 

I guess Green Lantern is only KS and Missouri

Zips has many more locations: https://www.zipscarwash.com/locations/

We had some pictures taken with my wife and son.  My son and I both wore bow 
ties.  He is 6 years old so he looks much better in a bow tie than I did.

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Around "Chaston" we got a bunch of old fops who like to wear bowties.  
They seem to think it confers on them some sort of air of trustiness or 
gravitas or something, but in general it just makes them look like fat 
old dandies who are trying too hard.


Some dudes can pull it off though, like my doctor, whose family has 
Chaston roots going way way back, so he is kinda grandfathered in on the 
matter.  They own the paper too, so I guess that confers a bit of 
respectability in some way.

I also used the university of YouTube to learn to tie a bow tie. I had been 
using the video every time I tied it which was generally once a year. This year 
for Angie's brother's wedding I managed to tie it myself without the video, I 
was pretty pleased...

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

What Dwight says. Practice makes perfect.  I can probably do it without a 
mirror, it would just take me longer.  Getting everything balanced out can take 
a minute or two. A lot depends on the "hand", or the type of fabric the tie is 
made of. Don't buy cheap bow ties - they're much harder to tie and get looking 
nice. A high quality silk bow tie is a joy to tie and usually sets right up the 
first time out. Cheap polyester and synthetic fabric ties are a battle, and 
often won't hold a knot for any length of time.

And of course, clip ons are a no-no, except maybe in formal wear. Wait - not 
even there, really.

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I pretty much only wear a bow tie now. Dwight showed me the way and took me to 
a very cool clothing store that is now sadly closed to buy my first (well only) 
one.
Once I got good at tying it a bow tie is much easier to tie than a necktie...

My elder son works with a group of artsy people who have become pretty 
loose in what they wear to work -jeans, t-shirts, scruffy beards etc. 
Some of them had become like hippies. Some of them were taken aside by 
the head honcho and told to improve their look. It was suggested to 
them, that if they did not know what to do, that they should watch what 
my son wears. He has always been a "preppie" sort and dresses pretty 
conservatively. A good thing when one represents the office when sent 
out to a jobsite to deal with clients etc. The firm is charging clients 
good money for him and he needs to look like he is worth it.

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Most people assume my 18 year old BMW is more expensive than it really is. It 
is also ALWAYS clean.  I have an unlimited wash package so it gets washed at 
least twice a week. 

 I don't want to drive a beater but I'm not totally hung up on status either.  
Around here a new Truck is more of a status symbol anyway.  After thinking and 
pondering and doing the math, I think I am better off just driving my BMW.  Its 
going to cost too much to buy a car, fix any minor issues, tag it, pay taxes, 
and insure it.  For all of those costs, I can buy more gas.  BUT, I do think a 
cool old Mercedes still makes a statement.  So, if I found the perfect 123 
diesel, I might still be interested.  Two attorneys I know make more than 
probably any others in the State of Kansas.   One is obsessed with image.  He 
has a Lamborghini and a new S Class.  He buys some top of the line car every 2 
years.  He also makes millions.   The other one had a 10 year old Toyota 
Sequoia with 200,000 miles.  He recently got a 2 year old Ford Explorer.  He 
doesn't have to be flashy -- he's just very good.

I disagree. Many people pay no attention to vehicles but many do notice too. I 
belonged to a business club for many years and could generally tell who had 
shown up for the meetings by what was in the parking lot when I got there. I 
don't think you need a new Cadillac but I do think you need to be in a decent 
looking vehicle and preferably a clean vehicle. Clients and other lawyers will 
look to see what Don  is driving and will treat him accordingly. If he wants to 
drive a beater back and forth on his commute, he should park the BMW somewhere 
near the office and swap cars on the way into town.

The same goes for Kaleb and his current issue with the damaged car. He needs to 
drive something that looks decent. The Benz was not new but it was a nice car 
and people would note that it was an MB. Much preferable to a domestic vehicle 
of similar vintage. A good looking classic car turns more heads than a new car 
most of the time.

Reminds me of a line from the book I was referring to earlier. An 
elderly black preacher travelling the south in days gone by always 
carried a nice leather briefcase. His reasoning was, that with the 
briefcase, he was a black gentleman and was treated as such. Without it, 
he was just another Nr.

I should have added to my previous post on this heading -  have you ever 
read the book "Dress For Success" and I believe a second book "Live for 
Success" by John Malloy, that detailed research done by the writer about 
presenting a successful image.


I know in my own experience, I have noticed differences depending on 
what I am wearing. I used to often stop at a store similar to your Farm 
and Fleet or Harbour Freight on my way back from lunch if they had 
something on sale that I wanted. When I wore a jacket and tie, people in 
blue collar clothing would step out of the way for me in aisles. If I 
was wearing much more casual clothing, they did not defer to me. I guess 
the tie was a visual clue that I was someone important?


Our world has become much more casual in the past 20 years or more. Many 
people who dressed up for work do not anymore. A suit and tie has become 
much less common and thus is noticed.

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

It's this 99 E300 dizzel I bought for $500.  I bought some parts for it, 
and a new wheel tire, so I'm up to maybe $600 or a bit more now.  It's 
throwing some codes that suggest EGR and glow plug(s), which isn't such 
a big deal.  It starts and runs a bit rough but I think it would be 
easily sortable.  Decent shape otherwise though it has been salvaged or 
wrecked like 3 times. I'm thinking this car and a AAA membership and 
you'd be OK, once it gets sorted on the codes issues.

Sell the $500 606 turbo beater to Snook.
Those things get 30mpg at 80mph, don't they?

That's the one I bought from the estate sale, $1300.  Haven't done anything 
with it yet, sitting in the barn, I start it occasionally and it lights right 
off.  I drove it before I got it and the brakes were grinding and grabby but 
worked, car ran very well except the throttle return spring is missing or 
broken or something (which is interesting, I pulled one off the 79 300TD and 
the 78 300CD has a different throttle linkage arrangement so it doesn;t seem to 
be the same).  I haven't even looked at it much yet due to some other issues.

The story is this woman owned it since like 1981 or so, it was her baby,  She 
died a coupla years ago, and the long-time BF would start it occasionally and 
move it around the driveway and wash it, but she never let him drive it when 
she was alive, so he never drove it after she couldn't drive it or after she 
died.  She kept it up in good shape, it was sitting under a carport so out of 
the weather mostly.  She had it repainted at some point after a storm knocked 
down some branches or something and dinged it up a bit. It is white with black 
leather interior, very minor damage to drivers seat, rest of interior looks 
really nice.  Some rust starting to show up under the side trim, you can see 
where it is starting to discolor a bit, so there's that.  Trunk seemed to be 
leaking, I think probably the rear window seal so maybe some caulk would fix 
that.

AC ran down, probably just needs a charge unless the seals are bad.  Belt is 
off but compressor seemed to spin so I don't know. Would probably need a set of 
tires if you were going to drive it far or fast but they had good tread, just 
likely old.

It's a pretty nice car actually, very clean and looks good from 20ft and 
everything is there and straight.  Runs, drives.  I was thinking to BAT it 
unless someone wants it.

Bring your trailer and haul it and the E$500 dizzel home, we could work 
something out.

I am lusting in my heart for the Green 240D.  My trip is 65 miles and I'm 
guessing it might take 15 to get up to 80MPH.   Or will one these actually go 
that fast?  It would get great mileage!

The brown/maroon 83 300D looks great.  But, I'm not sure its going to get 28-20 
mpg at 80 mph.

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

That's the one I bought from the estate sale, $1300.  Haven't done 
anything with it yet, sitting in the barn, I start it occasionally and 
it lights right off.  I drove it before I got it and the brakes were 
grinding and grabby but worked, car ran very well except the throttle 
return spring is missing or broken or something (which is interesting, I 
pulled one off the 79 300TD and the 78 300CD has a different throttle 
linkage arrangement so it doesn;t seem to be the same).  I haven't even 
looked at it much yet due to some other issues.


The story is this woman owned it since like 1981 or so, it was her 
baby,  She died a coupla years ago, and the long-time BF would start it 
occasionally and move it around the driveway and wash it, but she never 
let him drive it when she was alive, so he never drove it after she 
couldn't drive it or after she died.  She kept it up in good shape, it 
was sitting under a carport so out of the weather mostly.  She had it 
repainted at some point after a storm knocked down some branches or 
something and dinged it up a bit. It is white with black leather 
interior, very minor damage to drivers seat, rest of interior looks 
really nice.  Some rust starting to show up under the side trim, you can 
see where it is starting to discolor a bit, so there's that.  Trunk 
seemed to be leaking, I think probably the rear window seal so maybe 
some caulk would fix that.


AC ran down, probably just needs a charge unless the seals are bad.  
Belt is off but compressor seemed to spin so I don't know. Would 
probably need a set of tires if you were going to drive it far or fast 
but they had good tread, just likely old.


It's a pretty nice car actually, very clean and looks good from 20ft and 
everything is there and straight.  Runs, drives.  I was thinking to BAT 
it unless someone wants it.


Bring your trailer and haul it and the E$500 dizzel home, we could work 
something out.

There's a nice 78 300CD sitting here I could let go for cheapcheap, in 
pretty decent shape.  Starts right up, runs well. Needs some brake 
sorting from sitting, probably at least rotors and pads, maybe calipers, 
but that is no big deal.  Fly to CHS and drive it home.

 Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical 
minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the 
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the 
clean end.

 WOW That 300SDL is nice.  But 405K miles? Wow.  I don't think that would get 
better than 25 mpg. Right? It is nice. 

I am lusting in my heart for the Green 240D.  My trip is 65 miles and I'm 
guessing it might take 15 to get up to 80MPH.  Or will one these actually go 
that fast?  It would get great mileage!  

The brown/maroon 83 300D looks great.  But, I'm not sure its going to get 28-20 
mpg at 80 mph.

I have a '76 300D in Caledonia Green and live in Oakland CA.

I did an EMERGENCY u-turn when I saw this very car several months ago. Chatted 
with the owner/guardian briefly. He seemed to be a knowledgeable enthusiast and 
the car looked quite fantastic. I guess he moved north, which explains why I 
haven't seen it around since then. Not sure he will get that kind of money for 
it, esp since it is a 240D vs 300D. Still, it was a nice car!
