Re: [MBZ] Reality Sets In
Did an M117 come filled with synthetic oil from the factory, back in 1988? I am thinking synthetic was not all that common then and it was substantially more expensive than conventional oil, so there is a decent chance it did not get synthetic oil at least for part of its life. But I don't really remember that detail that far back; I know I was not using synthetic oil in my cars until the late '90s.

Re: [MBZ] Reality Sets In
I don't know about the aluminum block M117s, but the iron block ones mostly just suffer from the intake rubber bits getting hard and leaking. It won't run when that happens. When I torn down the almost 200k one I had, that was the only problem I found.

Re: [MBZ] Reality Sets In
Good point. In reality, would it be unrealistic to think that any car with nearly 300k on the clock would have that sort of value unless it was some sort of unicorn? I talked to the guy and he’s not terribly forthcoming with information. I tried to tease as much as I could out of him, as I live nearby and would possibly consider it if the price was more in line with the age and miles. It is a one owner and they have service records (sort of) that are with the original mechanic in NJ, but they wouldn’t give me any information on the mechanic. I told the guy I wanted to get details on the work that’s been done on the car over it’s lifetime, like timing chain replacement(s), but he couldn’t tell me anything. Not sure what the dynamics are here, whether it’s a sentimental attachment or what, but they’re not making it easy, that’s for sure. I told him without more information or provenance it was worth about $3k, maybe $4k on a really good day. We’ll see, I guess. I’m just wondering about an M117 with close to 300k on it. That t’s made it this far says something if it’s the original engine, but again, this was not information the seller was willing to provide. -D > On Jan 18, 2022, at 5:52 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > You think people post ads having an "honest" mistaken or emotional idea what > the car is worth, or they do know its real value but are hoping to find a > sucker who doesn't? > > > On Tue, Jan 18, 2022, at 5:42 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: >> This started out at $12k or $13k four weeks ago.

Re: [MBZ] Reality
I would love to, had a great time. Just make sure your neighbor keeps his dog in his own yard. It ruined Kate's (age 4) day. Going to Holden's place was great as was the BioD demo. I say we go back there for parts and to see the progress he's made on the GIANT reactor. My only suggestion is that we make up a more firm schedule...it was a bit chaotic, late start, etc. I think my friend will come and demo the frybrid two tank VO system in his super low mileage 300Dt, if you would like. I think people would find that interesting. My 2 cents. Also, ask people to bring certain things...6 bags of potato chips, 1/2 gallon of dip, etc to help offset the cost to you. --- Bob Rentfro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kaleb typed: So who all wants OkieQ 06? .

Re: [MBZ] Reality
Tom, I agree. We (us on this list) have made many webfriends. I really appreciate some broad tolerance on a variety of topics. We came together as Mercedes-Benz owners, but have gained a lot of insight thru non MB topics. In this environment as in life, we have to develop some tolerance and acknowledge that everyone does not look at things in the same way. IMHO, that is why there is a DELETE button on every keyboard. That said, we all need to pay special attention to the Subject line of every email we post, allowing each of us to exercise our personal/ individual censorship (Delete Before Reading) on our inbox).

Re: [MBZ] Reality
The history of the Ichthus fish comes from when Greece was invaded by the Turks in 1456. During the almost 400 year occupation, the Turks attemped to iradicate all traces of the greacian nation by banning the national language and religion. The Truks also attmped genocide. In order to survive the holocaust the Greek elders setup underground schools and churhes. In order to identify them they used the symbol of the fish. The reason is Ichthus in ancient greek means fish. It is also an achronym for Jesus, Christ, God, Son, Savior.

A community of one dimensional MB enthusiasts who have nothing else to talk about other than MB is kinda frightening. I (although not very knowledgeable) have tons of enthusiasm (Mercedes, the love that never dies). I guess the OT can get out of hand sometimes, but that's what the admin is for. On the gun topic, he said, STOP and many did not. I did, even though I have plenty to say on the topic. If we respect the admin and be ourselves, I think we have a pretty cool e-community. OkieQ proves it. It was great.

And if we count the number of posts on guns do we count the ones complaining about the people talking about guns? Where is Gabriels MB subject matter like I was taken to task over? You see, we whine about whatever isn't of interest to us. If guns offend you delete, just like I do whenever I see oil, diesel mileage, etc. Kinder, gentler, warm and fuzzy. That's the new millenium way ;-) Ken In a message dated 8/31/2005 6:28:15 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: From: Kaleb C.
