[MBZ] Rescue Assist

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Stickers are now available from the dealers for most models back to 1990. I'm 
going over today at lunch to get some keys ordered and pick up some parts. I'll 
report back on what I find out.

Speaking of ID'ing cars... When taking long drives in the wee hours, has anyone 
(else) taken to guessing car make/model etc by the head/tail lights?

It does have some practical purpose... I bet that you learn to spot American 
SUV's (particularly Ford) and American full-size sedans first...

Supposedly its more temperature stable. All air is mostly nitrogen anyway...

I think the bigger return is supposedly that the nitrogen is dry so the 
moisture doesn't attack the inside of the tire.

I have it on good report that the SR-71 airplane used Nitrogen to
pressurize the tires... thus if you also use nitrogen in your tires your
car will go Mach 3+...

I'm sure that's how it works.

Re: [MBZ] N

[G Mann via Mercedes]

You are kidding right?  With the price of groceries these days you need an
armed guard to carry all the money TO the grocery store and to carry the
one bag of groceries your total pay can buy FROM the grocery store..

I live in Arizona, where it is both legal and common to carry discrete or
openly, no restrictions. It is quite common to meet other shoppers who,
like me are armed. No one except the criminals or some back east visitors
who are "gun phobic"  worry about it. I shop Krogers [branded as "Frys"
here] often. There have been no robberies and no gang assaults in the
parking lot either.

Welcome to America, where your right to self defense is an act of God, not
government. Government just recognizes that fact along with the other God
given rights listed in the Constitutional Amendments.

Probably stealer thing.
IIRC the smartkey must be programmed at the dealer (or do some of the laptop

Re: [MBZ] N

*The big picture:*

 * Every year in the U.S., an average of more than 100,000 people are
   shot, according to The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence
   
.
 * Every day in the U.S., an average of 289 people are shot. Eighty-six
   of them die: 30 are murdered, 53 kill themselves, two die
   accidentally, and one is shot in a police intervention, the Brady
   Campaign
   

 reports.
 * Between 2000 and 2010, a total of 335,609 people died from guns --
   more than the population of St. Louis, Mo. (318,069), Pittsburgh
   (307,484), Cincinnati, Ohio (296,223), Newark, N.J. (277,540), and
   Orlando, Fla. (243,195) (sources: CDF
   
,
   U.S. Census ; CDC
   )
 * One person is killed by a firearm every 17 minutes, 87 people are
   killed during an average day, and 609 are killed every week.
   (source: CDC)

*Homicides by weapon:*

 * Handguns comprised 72.5 percent of the firearms used in murder and
   non-negligent manslaughter incidents in 2011; 4.1 percent were with
   shotguns; 3.8 percent were with rifles; 18.5 percent were with
   unspecified firearms.


I still think that bullet proof shelving should be installed in all

they went from the 115 to the 123 models?

Re: [MBZ] Prius

Man some days it feels like it. Makes you want to swerve over when one sits 
next to you at a light constantly blipping the throttle.

Harley owners are generally a menace. A couple years ago they talked about 
giving the anti-loud pipe laws here some teeth and the Harley guys were all 
against it including Angie's Dad. I pointed out that quieting things down was 
better than getting banned outright but he doesn't understand me.
Of course he thinks the Ninja Turtle bikes should be quieted down...

.
  * Every day in the U.S., an average of 289 people are shot. Eighty-six
of them die: 30 are murdered, 53 kill themselves, two die

  * One person is killed by a firearm every 17 minutes, 87 people are

*Homicides by weapon:*

  * Handguns comprised 72.5 percent of the firearms used in murder and
non-negligent manslaughter incidents in 2011; 4.1 percent were with
shotguns; 3.8 percent were with rifles; 18.5 percent were with

*The big picture:*

  * Every year in the U.S., an average of more than 100,000 people are
shot, according to The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence
 
.
  * Every day in the U.S., an average of 289 people are shot. Eighty-six
of them die: 30 are murdered, 53 kill themselves, two die
accidentally, and one is shot in a police intervention, the Brady
Campaign
 
 reports.
  * Between 2000 and 2010, a total of 335,609 people died from guns --
more than the population of St. Louis, Mo. (318,069), Pittsburgh
(307,484), Cincinnati, Ohio (296,223), Newark, N.J. (277,540), and
Orlando, Fla. (243,195) (sources: CDF
 
,
U.S. Census ; CDC
)
  * One person is killed by a firearm every 17 minutes, 87 people are
killed during an average day, and 609 are killed every week.
(source: CDC)

*Homicides by weapon:*

  * Handguns comprised 72.5 percent of the firearms used in murder and
non-negligent manslaughter incidents in 2011; 4.1 percent were with
shotguns; 3.8 percent were with rifles; 18.5 percent were with
unspecified firearms.


I still think that bullet proof shelving should be installed in all retail
stores for the protection of the people.

So, how did MB change it after 74? The AC system in my 76 is pretty basic.
I wouldn't have thought they would have changed anything much before 
they went from the 115 to the 123 models?

Any ideas?

Re: [MBZ] Sure wish it was a diesel

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I replaced a W114 blower motor in a 1970 250C.  I still have the scars on my 
hands to show for it.

After that experience I found a number of creative ways to resurrect the fans 
on these cars if they weren't completely kaput.  Fortunately, I never had a 
replace another one...

Short answer: Deterrent.

The OC guys say they live happier lives never getting mugged in the first place 
because the muggers pick a soft target.


The CC guys say they've got the element of surprise when somebody tries to mug 
them not knowing they're armed.  They also believe that when making contact with 
a criminal who decided when and where to jump you, he's the one with the element 
of surprise in his favor, you've just got the disadvantage of trying to draw 
from inside your clothes while his weapon is already deployed.


There's a good article about 'the open carry debate' on page 9 of this 
newsletter. I'm going to meet the guy who wrote it tomorrow night.

I have an apple tree in the front yard of my new home.  How can I identify
the variety just from the fruit itself? They are a crisp, juicy, tart

There's at least $5k worth of work needed just to make it safe to drive,
including reassembling the dash but not repainting the body.  "Needs a
tuneup" probably translates to "needs a valve job".  If it's green it would
look awesome repainted, but by then we're in the upper brackets.

Re: [MBZ] Testing Prius

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

I'm sure there is at least one heritage and heirloom apple site on the  
internet, with pictures.


You can indeed identify your tree by the apples.

My boss up in Canada had some trees up the hill behind the house that  
I think were SnowQueen or Famouse (sp) -- one of the original named  
apples from ether England or France.  The house was originally built  
before the American Revolution  (Sailor's Encampment on St. Joseph's  
Island, Ontario), and I suspect from the condition and appearent age  
of the trees, they had been there since the place was built.


Bright but darkish red skin with pronounced red streaks in the flesh,  
small, and the best tasting apples I've ever eaten.

Might be alright if you want a project and if the body is 100% rust free 
(although me thinks the seller would have mentioned that as a selling 
point, so you can assume there is tin worm), otherwise that other one 
would be better value but generally like most ads, you only hear half 
the story.

There's at least $5k worth of work needed just to make it safe to drive,
including reassembling the dash but not repainting the body.  "Needs a

look awesome repainted, but by then we're in the upper brackets.

Re: [MBZ] nitrogen Jackpot!

[Hendrik and Fay via Mercedes]

I would say that for a car on a public road N is a waste of money. They 
use it a lot in motorsports where a psi or two can make a difference to 
handling and the tires get pretty hot.

I have it on good report that the SR-71 airplane used Nitrogen to
pressurize the tires... thus if you also use nitrogen in your tires your
car will go Mach 3+...

I'm sure that's how it works.

Re: [MBZ] OT: The secret revealed

Well perhaps it may improve mileage by .03% but it's more to do with 
looks and styling, giving it a more sporty look, rather than utilitarian 
workhorse.

That chin spoiler is supposed to improve your mileage by preventing 
air from going under the truck on the highway. You need to make one 
that can be lifted or lowered depending on where you are driving. 
Hydraulic or air cylinders?


And the winch? Must be some way to make an anchor that you could drive 
into the ground so you could pull yourself free. I used to work with a 
fellow who was an avid hunter and fisherman. He drove 4 WD Suburbans 
and said if he had to choose he would take the winch rather than the 4WD.

Most places we go theres not much to winch to. More useful is the 
Highlift jack. Jack 'er up and stuff something (like the extraction 
ramps) under the tire.


I am considering a new bumper though, the Dodge has a huge chin and a 
plastic air dam very close to the ground. I forsee the air dam 
getting ripped off pretty early on, its only maybe 6" off the ground.
