[MBZ] MAF-less
Does anyone know if our cars, in my case the M119 engine, will run without the MAF? Granted, I would expect it to run poorly, but I was wondering as I continue to part out the S500. FWIW, I've sold almost $1000 worth of parts and have maybe $500 more currently on eBay. And that doesn't include the $270 I will get at the scrapper for the two catalytic converters or the scrap value of the car when I'm done, maybe $100-$150. Just factoring purchase cost and nothing more, I might end up breaking even on this car when it's all said and done!

The avocado lime coconut is very light and refreshing, almost like a sorbet but a bit more heft to it. You can't really taste the avocado but it also gives some fat and thickness to the blend, and the green color. He put a crust on it of roasted hazelnuts and chocolate bits. it is quite awesome.

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
Beats me. All I know is that almost immediately after I posted on the local CL that the car was being parted I started getting offers for the cats for like $60. The activity made me realize they must be a hot commodity, so I checked with some local scrap metal people. Mine are considered large import cats and are selling for around $135 each at the local scrapyards. One guy kept emailing me with increasing offers. When he got up to $100, I told him I would take the going rate for them, $135/each. Haven't heard from him since.

Correction, the squealing pads were conventional Car Quest red which were supposed to be their better pads...I didn't notice any lower rotor life using ceramic, here the rotors lots of times rot out from rust put there with road salt... -Curt From: Curly McLain 126die...@gmail.com To: Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com; Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Monday, August 10, 2015 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Ceramic Brake Pads I did them on a 201, some kind of random brand Rusty sent me.

The harder the pads (ceramic) the more likely they are to squeal, AND the more they wear your rotors. I can get 200 to 300k out of rotors with the cheap (dusty) pads. it is easy to change pads and cheap, it is harder and expensive to change rotors. Ceramic pads DO have to be broken in properly to work properly and also to not warp your rotors. The ceramic pads of the dogde and the rotors needed to be changed at a little over 100k. Mucho dinero$$$ I've never had to buy rotors for my Mercedes with the organic or asbestos pads. I see no advantage, unless you have a show car and the dust is a significant factor. I see several DISadvantages to ceramic. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Here we have two grocer chains, one (Bi-Lo) does the points similar what you describe, another (Harris Teeter) sells gas station gift cards at 20% off, one fifty dollar card for every fifty dollars in groceries. Shell stations accept both the discount points card from the first chain and the gift cards, so you can double dip and get quite a nice discount.

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
In theory only. In reality, the data is rarely collected for true hot stuff, like stolen AC condenser. A couple years back a BBQ cooker was stolen from out church. These cost about $5K; they are basically a big stainless steel grill with electric heaters which hold 2-3 whole pigs. This item was later found at a local scrap yard in trashed condition but somehow the paperwork didn't show who sold it to the scrapper. Like gun laws, this is a nuisance for honest people and no problem for folks with criminal intent. -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of WILTON via Mercedes Sent: Monday, August 10, 2015 2:45 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] MAF-less Good.

2 years ago, I had 5 cars stolen from storage. They were all waiting restoration and none ran, so most likely they all were sold for scrap, based on other things that were stolen in the robbery..

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
They’re pretty retentive about selling scrap metals down here, although I can’t vouch for how successful that is. The issue for years were people stealing AC condensers, as they would just go up to them, take some insulated cutters and just sever the power and refrigerant lines and toss them in the back of a truck. It got to the point where the major recyclers would only take AC units from commercial AC places they had been dealing with. Can’t address the car thing, as I haven’t dealt with those folks, but I will be shortly. Certainly no shortage of places that “Pay Top Dollar” for your junk or wrecked cars down here, that’s for sure.

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
Scrap prices are at an all time low right now, so many recyclers are warehousing scrap, hoping for increase.

[MBZ] Lowest gas prices in the USA
CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average price of gasoline has dropped 11 cents over the past two weeks to $2.71 a gallon. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that the current average sits 81 cents below the year-ago price. The cheapest price recorded in the continental United States was $2.19 a gallon in Charleston, South Carolina. The highest was $3.80 a gallon in Los Angeles. California saw a 21-cent price drop over the past two weeks — following a huge spike caused by a brief supply shortage. Lundberg says supplies are flowing again and pump prices are poised to drop further in the Golden State. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] OT - blender vs. food processor?
Coconut milk would be quite rich. I was thinking regular milk, perhaps with some half and half thrown in. I also probably overblended - went past the point when the mixture gelled to a solid, causing it to then relapse to a smoothie/slushie texture.
