Re: [MBZ] I accidentally won this on copart

How do you”accidentally” buy something on CoPart? Did your finger slip on the mouse button and inadvertently click on the “Bid” button? Looks halfway decent for the $1000 you’re going to drop all-in with fees except for the golf ball sized ding in the trunk lid. -D > On Aug 21, 2020, at 7:19

[MBZ] NO: OT Wuhan Red Death - Keeping Perspective

I’m calling this political mainly because the vehicle is from Jess Weber, but also because the subject is one of great debate and has already been discussed here ad nauseam. Let’s leave the COVID stuff off the list unless it’s directly topical (and if you don’t understand what that means, PM me

Re: [MBZ] 2004 Mercedes Benz 320E 4Matic Brake Question

Robert, I’m not aware of multiple wear sensors, but I guess there could be. Not sure what the value of that is… I realize this is after the fact, but for the future, any time you replace rotors, buy a set of retaining screws, as they’re cheap and I’m sure your dealer stocks them. 201 421 01

Re: [MBZ] Amazon Delivery Clown Trying to Buy My W124

That’s the response I use when I get a stupid low offer on something on CL or FBM. Offer me $500 for a $2k car? I’ll counter at $2500. But think of all the blessings you would get, Bob! -D > On Aug 21, 2020, at 9:42 AM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > wrote: > > I love the idea that he would

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: OT - VirtualBox & Copying a VM to a Physical Machine

The big issue with VB and the Mac side is SIP. It creates all sorts of havoc when it come to modifying the new disk, as SIP doesn’t want you to do it. I toyed with the idea of running VB as root, but that’s a scary thing and could potentially bodge up my machine. I know this can be done, I’m

[MBZ] OT - VirtualBox & Copying a VM to a Physical Machine

My STAR system is on a VM that runs off an external drive. It works fine, but it’s sluggish and I don’t care to have the hassle of an external drive. I found a larger hard drive for my laptop, but I want to move the VM to the larger hard drive and put it into the laptop as the boot drive. I

They’re both pretty much equal. The later (white) one looks like it might be a little rougher than the 2002. -D > On Aug 18, 2020, at 10:34 AM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes > wrote: > > Or is this a better wagon choice? > > Bob R > > Sent from my iPhone > > >> >> 2003 Mercedes Benz E-320 >>

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: 2001 Mercedes Benz E320 Wagon AWD $2000 Firm

Later model 4Matic systems, that is, systems later than the W124 systems, are pretty bulletproof. You need be aware that it does make things a little more complicated and will increase repair costs for some jobs, mostly suspension related stuff. That’s not to scare you, just make you aware.
