That’s the same color combo of the 1984 Cutlass Diesel I talked the in-laws 
into buying back in the day. That car was great.

[MBZ] wow -- 1999 Mercedes-Benz sl-class SL 500 Roadster 2D - $26, 000 (Yulee, FL)

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

would someone actually pay this much for a R129?  I'm sure it is in 
really good condition, but still, you can get a much newer roadster for 
that kind of money.

Re: [MBZ] Wow

After looking at the pictures, I identified 7 lug nuts that are good
salvage rest of the car is toast.
I'm suggesting 3 other cars were involved, in sequence... 1. Hit from the
rear, 2. Rear impact drove the car into a rear end impact with the car in
front of it, with trajectory into the right hand lane, where, 3. Car 3
struck a long blow from the rear door to the front A frame, ending up in a
"T Bone" effect.
Strike #3 suggests that Car 3 also took a freeway speed rear end impact,
about the time it got to the front of this car...

Re: [MBZ] Wow

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Yeah that could be it. At least 3 big hits somehow or other. 

A testament to German design when it was engineers not beancounters in charge. 
I would not want to test it out but a 124 would be a good test subject it 
appears. Reminds me of Wilton’s car, white/burgundy that got punched in LF by a 
red light runner, took the hit well but it wasn’t nearly as bad as that. The 
steel up front is pretty soft, a sawzall goes right through it, I guess that is 
how it absorbs all the energy.

Re: [MBZ] Wow

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

I would say the opposite, probably rear ended off center and shoved into the 
next lane and then t-boned.

Driver’s door had to be pried open, but unlatched.  Driver side rear door very 
likely works normally

hopefully no one was in the rear passenger side or passenger front, but likely 
only serious injury to legs and arms.  Not that the sear (and the floor) rose 
but stayed upright.  

Having personal experience with crashing a Benz, it’s hard to believe how 
little one is injured in a really bad crash in one.  Very little room left in 
mine at the floor pan (A pillar shoved in at least 18 inches), but the only 
damage to me was muscles spasms in my back, bruised nerves on a rib, and glass 
driven into the back of my arm.  

A friend of mine worked as an EMT in California — said you always knew who was 
in the Benz in an accident, as they would be standing on the side of the road 
when the EmTs got there.  Very very rare for all the doors to be stuck.

Wow, had to be multiple impacts there.  At least two, possibly
three or more.  (How did the engine end up laid over sideways,
anyway?)  Crushed on front quarter, rear quarter, and side-swipey
on top of all that.  Driver might have been OK, same with someone
behind him.  Other side pretty iffy.

Very few salvageable parts on that one.

Re: [MBZ] Wow, I could have had a V12

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

This is in my future so I am (not?) encouraged!  I would probably go 
with the rebuilds from TH and be done with it, probably not worth the 
time and bother associated with zylinder DIY rebuild.   And with the 
cars going upupup in value it would not be a bad expenditure to get it 
right.  Does not sound like a pleasant job but that's whatchagottado.


The German guy commenting on the vid made some interesting points about 
the wiring too -- apparently the biodegradable wiring was not a German 
gummint mandate but some cheap-out by MB with some suppliers of certain 
wiring, not all of the wires in the looms.  He also said there were at 
least 2 or 3 Euro suppliers for "new" looms.  i checked out one of them, 
and I think I had looked at another one, so there are parts out there.  
And again rewiring the looms is a DIY job but it is tricky and 
time-consuming.  I have not dug into the wiring yet but I am sure that 
and the throttle bodies are going to need some work.


I got the new rear spheres in but since I have the car up on blocks and 
the rad out I have not fired it up and pumped up the suspension system 
yet.  That will have to wait.


The joys of a 90s German supercar!  I am comforted it is not Italian 
with unobtanium parts.

of the cylinders by a competent firm such as Top Hydraulics, who guarantees 
their work *and* provides excellent support. Not only that, but some 
components, such as the top locks in the top of the windshield frame, are 
easily damaged if you attempt to disassemble them, and also require careful 
alignment when reassembling for them to work correctly. Top Hydraulics aligns 
and adjusts them when they rebuild them, cutting down the time it takes to get 
everything working again after reassembly. Sure, it’s easily $800 (or more) for 
a complete cylinder rebuild depending on the model, but it cuts to the 
potential for future issues down to almost nothing. Not only that, but if you 
goof up a cylinder, you’re buying a new one, which will cost you more than what 
a rebuild of the complete set costs.

2.) R is an unpleasant job, mainly because you have to disassemble the back section 
of the interior. Other than that, it’s just a brute force, time consuming job that requires 
a lot of arm scratching gyrations to get to everything. Again, Top Hydraulics provides some 
really good documentation on R of the cylinders and what to watch out for, as there 
are some microswitches on the top frame that are critical to proper operation that are 
easily damaged or goofed up when R’ing if you’re not careful.

It takes all of a day to remove and another day to install. Again, it’s a lot of 
R that you can’t shortcut, you just have to take your time and do it 
properly. It’s not difficult nor does it require special tools, it just takes time.

Somebody in the comments claimed that the parts to reseal the little

Hey Dan, was the weezurd's estimate of 10-11 hours to R all the 
cylinders reasonable, or can it be done quicker than that?

I engaged in discussions with the owner and some others in the comments. The 
owner says he knew the issues and was ok with the deal (more money than sense I 
guess) and that the weezurd gets a lot of views from the drama which makes 
sense. 

One guy, a German maybe, had interesting comments about the wire insulation 
issue. 

Mine in probably similar condition but better spec was $2250 which I think was 
quite reasonable but I can address the issues myself. It will take some dineros 
for parts and time buts that’s the deal with owning a 90s supercar. You know, 
being an inthoooseeass and all.

Yes those ideas came to mind but she is more in the mode of "let's get the

in mixing it up with the guy. I just thought it was a BS attitude on the

Re: [MBZ] Wow

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

> Truly, an ugly truck. Why are the manufacturers trying to make the pickup 
> trucks look so huge?

Every time I look at our two '9x Dodge pickups I'm continually impressed by 
their appearance.
They look capable, yet understated.  Clean lines.  Nothing newer looks as good, 
IMHO.  The
Cummins and the V10 are more than capable of doing any pulling I need, and both 
engines
have excellent longevity reputations.  I foresee no reason to _ever_ replace 
them.

The neighbor has one, too.  We just used his tailgate yesterday as a worktable 
upon which to resurrect
my Hobart 135 wire-feed welder, the loaner.  (He'd borrowed it and broken it.)  
Mine's working again,
and we started in on his broken $50 Hobart, same model.  (He bought it for 
parts, to fix mine, but I
think we can get them both working.  I'm handy that way.)

The neighbor's truck was getting pretty beat up, what with its heavy use, 
getting sideswiped by
some dolt, and rolled onto its side by his son.  Rather than replace it he 
opted to replace the bed,
have the necessary body work done, and repaint.  It looks good, but not 'too 
good to use'.  Costs
mostly covered by the dolt's insurance, along with careful shopping.  (Used bed 
and door off
Craigslist, etc.)

Memo to dolts everywhere:  the blind S-curves on a rural road are NOT the place 
to be
checking your texts while driving...

The average pickup truck buyer is all sizzle and no steak.

A friend of my neighbor asked to borrow my truck to move some stuff with. He's 
got a couple year old Chevy 2500 in perfect condition. I asked why he didn't 
just use his own truck. "I don't want to get mine dirty. Yours is rusty." 

What I told him doesn't bear repeating but he didn't get to use my truck...

I sort of understand trucks becoming taller given they are pretty much 
all 4 wheel drive now, but I don't really understand the tall hood and 
massive grill. They are putting smaller engines in - V6 turbo rather 
than V8 in most now so one would think the front clip might be able to

Re: [MBZ] wow. 1938 Mercedes-Benz,$12,000

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I watched some recent vids the other day and yeah he’s getting a bit slower. I 
was wondering the same thing. He has quite a collection plus some amazing 
craftsmen in his restoration shop. I presume he’s got it all well-planned in 
his final instructions, what that might be is the question but I think of some 
sort of museum or something with cars that actually get used. Or I hope so 
anyway.

He's getting old. I wonder if/when he'll stop buying cars, and what the 
transition plans are for his shop and collection?

cost and quickly you would be in the $50,000 out of pocket costs.. [or

I watched some Jay Leno vids of old Benzes he has. Classic Center can get any 
part (for a price of course) but as he pointed out, where are you going to find 
some particular fittings for a 1938 (or whatever) Benz?  Apparently some even 
pre-war stuff, I guess drawings and whatnot survived that adventure.

It's disappointing to think my dad and mom went to medical school there, I
was born there, and my mother's parents lived at 629 6th Street Southeast
for many, many years.

I recall visiting them during the summer and walking down to the
mom-and-pop grocery store at the end of the block to buy groceries for
them.

How things have changed.

I got a separate piece of mail with the registration and sticker. Mine happened 
to come the same day but I don’t think it always does. When you get that, take 
it down and see if you can get it titled in your state or if they throw a fit 
over the lien.
