Re: [MBZ] California is banning sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035.

Where does all this animosity toward CA come from? I mean I live here, and there is plenty of crazy stuff going on, but I don't obsess about what is going on in other states. For some reason people seem to enjoy slagging on California, even when they dont pay any taxes here. That seems weird to me

Re: [MBZ] W123 yellow Bosch fog lamp

Buy the headlight assembly and toss the extras on the shelf in case you need them later. The fog lamp is $266 from the dealer new, and aftermarket not much cheaper. -D > On Sep 26, 2020, at 4:14 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > My '83 300TD wagon has a badly cracked front left
