Re: [MBZ] Iran

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I think you may have Shah of Iran confused with Saddam of Iraq Once
Shah was deposed, he left to live in exile [then died].. Saddam is a
different chronology, different country...

I'm sure it was nice as long as you weren't a brutally represses 
political dissident.


It is good to know this hominy cat is so benevolent and there are no 
brutally repressed political dissidents there now.


Along with no queers, no dogs, no hogs, no Jews, no Christians.

(please ignore that fact that this utopian wonderland was created by 
killing all the above.)

I'm sure it was nice as long as you weren't a brutally represses political 
dissident.

So the Iranians run out the shah and the US decides that's a bad deal so we set 
him back up, he then basically goes on a killing spree and we wonder why they 
don't like us...

The best thing we could do to the middle east is leave the whole dang place 
alone. They don't like us and EVERYTHING we do there turns to crap, but 
no,we've got this hero complex, we're going to fix it all you just wait...

Just for the record, my feelings can not be hurt by any comments you may
make about any public official or personage.
Any convictions I may hold can not be swayed by terms of personal
derogation or lack of respect. I curse fluently in 5 languages, so I likely
have heard any insult that may be thrown... Let the games begin..
hahahaha..

I side with Mao on this.. we are adults, we have opinions, and we have
decades of knowledge, much of beyond just Mercedes.. Keep it friendly and
informative.. perhaps even spirited.. I'm good with that..

 Okay.
 Are you up for a slight challenge?
 Give us your view on something other than brain cancer - I'm
 interested to hear you speak a bit about Mr. Carter.  I really did not
 pay attention to his time in DC, but it seems there are things to like
 about his ways these days.
 I would also like to hear more about what Grant and Curly meant about
 Mr. Carter's time in DC and the ruination from that time until today.
 My opinion is that it is partly politics but mostly our fat-*** ways
 of doing things - yeah, we don't.  We think DC will do it.  We want
 more for us.  We want entertainment.  I like the guys that took that
 AK47 guy down in France - that was doing something.  We need more of
 that.  And DIY W123 repair is also doing something.  That is why I
 like to hear this stuff from Dwight AND Grant.  And Wilton.  You guys
 have more basis for politics than my fat-*** life.
 Thanks.

What he said. I've had both, and black cars look dirty far faster 
than white cars.

DB140  Is great!  I first thought it was plain as sin, but it grew on 
me.  plain, but looks good when dirty, and looks great when clean. 
Actually, the ubiquitous silber is not bad.  Not quite as good as 
DB140, but  it hides dirt fairly well.


DB040 (Black) is a horrible color.  As Dan says, before you get done 
washing or waxing or wiping it down, where you just cleaned is now 
dirty.

Goodness! we can't speak of long ago politics?  That sort of screws the whole 
topic of history, since Wilton was bombing Viet Cong, which may trouble some,  
or those who are not partial to LBJ or JFK.  No ability to talk of anything of 
historical value, since politics would be involved some how.  Some of us think 
Nixon was a great guy.  

I say we keep off the current crate of imbeciles looking for office, and the 
prior goof ball in the white house.  That opens up history prior to the 
millennium.  

So, no talk of Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Barak Osama, W, or Abortion.

Re: [MBZ] OT Snow blowers

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

A quick google search seems to indicate that a lot of the new ones have 
power steering.
Don't know that I would worry about getting one with tracks instead of 
tires.

Get chains and it should be fine.
The tires on the newer ones are generally larger than they were on the 
older ones that helps.

Hi - I sent this yesterday but it has not appeared. Perhaps I was 
bumped from membership again and I missed the email?   Anyway- 04, 
all options appears to be in good condition.  Are there any inherent 
problems to look for?

Several of us answered the original post.  Unless you HAVE to change 
cars to keep SWMBO happy, your current 124 will run another 250k or 
more if you can keep the tinworm away.


E320 is ok, but more prastic than your 124.  Less soul, more like an asian car.

Hire someone.

I think this may be the better solution.  You can hire a lot of kids 
to shovel for the $2,000+ they want for a tracked snowblower.

Re: [MBZ] OT Snow blowers

Alles.I'm in the market for a new snowblower and a tracked, 
steerable one seem to be what I need.Last winter whilst I struggled 
to use the olde Ariens that I have had, lo these many years, I 
discovered that my old muscles ain't what they used to

Fred Moir.Lynn MA.Diesel preferred.			  


Fred,

Read this.  some insight, but no clear answer.

Hatz Diesel engine conversion idea is interesting for us Dieselfolk

I see airens makes some with tracks, but I didn't see anything about steering.

The big old whirlwind (36" to 42" single blade) and similar mowers 
from the 40s and 50s had the sulky seat you rode on, as in the one 
post.  I think it was hard work to steer them from the seat, but I 
never ran one.

Re: [MBZ] 126 Rubber WUZ: ADMIN

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I'm sure that's the case.

That's what Worldpac does. A lot of the online parts retailers are using a 
customized "front end" that utilizes Worldpac's system. When you order it just 
goes to Worldpac and they drop ship from one of their warehouses with the 
seller's information on the pack slip and shipping label.

I suspect Autohauz works out of inventories owned by other folks and "drop

from them. That would easily explain the delays and "shipping lag".

It's a win / win / win all around because who ever has "dead inventory"

Re: [MBZ] 126 Rubber WUZ: ADMIN

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I noticed the other place someone mentioned had a lot of URO stuff, too.

You just have to be an informed shopper when it comes to these guys. 
Fortunately, most of them identify the manufacturer. I always check the part 
when I get it, too, just to be sure.

I suspect Autohauz works out of inventories owned by other folks and "drop

It's a win / win / win all around because who ever has "dead inventory"
gets it sold, Autohauz gets a cut for marketing it, and we get factory
parts at cheap prices.

The last times I installed 2000 and XP, the updates take a day and 
several manual shutdown/restarts.  I believe MS does this 
intentionally so that you get disgusted installing the "old" OS and 
go out and buy the "new" OS, which is still only 2000 with all the 
patches and a gussied up "new" interface.  (bloatware)

I did that experiment years ago when XP was new.

Clean installs of 2000 (near or at end of life) Wissta and XP
ran all the SPs and Updates until MS was happy.

Each HD had about the same amount of space used.  By now since 2000 
and XP are dead and MS does not admit wissta ever existed, that a 
fully patched Winder 10 will be bigger than fully patched XP, but I'd 
bet it is nearly the same as a fully patched winders 8.1.

Sounds like M$ is playing the "frustrate you with winders 7 installs 
so you go out and buy 10" game.

Notwithstanding the lag time in delivery, Autohausaz.com is the cheapest

Makes no difference where i order from.  It takes a week to get 
anything unless i can buy from FLAPS.  once in a while it is less, 
but I figure that is a bonus.


If I try to anticipate everything i'll need, i end up with unused parts.
If I take things apart, then order, I have a vehicle down for a week 
(or 2 if the unforseen happens)

Sometimes I end up taking the car apart 2 or 3 times as parts trickle in.

Its a lot less frustrating to keep one old MB in ready reserve.  Then 
if you have one down waiting for parts, you can still carry on. 
Right now I have cars scattered over 1500 miles, and that is not good 
either...

Probably, but I didn't have SP1 available.

The last times I installed 2000 and XP, the updates take a day and 
several manual shutdown/restarts.  I believe MS does this 
intentionally so that you get disgusted installing the "old" OS and 
go out and buy the "new" OS, which is still only 2000 with all the 
patches and a gussied up "new" interface.  (bloatware)


I did that experiment years ago when XP was new.

Clean installs of 2000 (near or at end of life) Wissta and XP
ran all the SPs and Updates until MS was happy.

Each HD had about the same amount of space used.  By now since 2000 
and XP are dead and MS does not admit wissta ever existed, that a 
fully patched Winder 10 will be bigger than fully patched XP, but I'd 
bet it is nearly the same as a fully patched winders 8.1.

Nice.

A local fellow has a Porsche that looks like the McLaren and he used to

Unfortunately he had engine problems with it and has had it in his

That's because the FBI and Harris requires that they sign a non-disclosure

We had a big dust-up down here recently where the ACLU filed an FOIA request 
over one of these with the local prosecutor and Federal marshals showed up at 
the prosecutor's office and took the case over, effectively thwarting the FOIA.

Re: [MBZ] car hacking

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Somewhere today, there is a career car thief exploiting this principle to
gain instant entry to a new car worth thousands of dollars.

If you doubt it, look for the statistics on number of cars stolen and
dismantled each year. It is a huge industry.

Re: [MBZ] car hacking

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

Once done, some Chinese outfit will be selling the equipment for 
cheepcheep, then it becomes another running battle.  Just like all the 
other cracks, hacks, cloners, and whatever else to circumvent or get 
into various systems -- the electronic keys are big now, garage door 
openers, whatever.


I recall some years ago getting a cell phone bill (my work phone) for 
nearly $2k, calls all over the world, most to Mexico, from all over the 
US.  I call the cell phone co, whoever it was, and ask WTF.  They look 
into it, determine my (analog at the time) phone had been cloned and 
someone made clones and were probably selling time to make calls.  Found 
out a few others at the company had the same thing done, turns out 
someone was probably sitting at a traffic light not far from the office, 
sniffing phones while people sat in the traffic making calls or pinging 
the towers or whatever. Equipment was fairly cheap even then (though 
probably not from China at that time).  Now the cops have these devices 
that can spoof phones, acting like a cell node, and collect all kinds of 
stuff from them.  I guess if you have a coupla $k you could buy one too.

I just back up the windows activation, format and install windows from a
slipstreamed
Win 7 CD, restore the activation, and selectively update with windows update,
downloading
most of the security patches and not much else. Then I have to install all my
drivers and
software.

Re: [MBZ] 126 Rubber WUZ: ADMIN

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Autohaus uses the stupid UPS/USPS arrangement for their cheap shipping. This is 
the equivalent of a slow boat to China. On a few occasions I've upgraded to UPS 
and things get to me promptly, albeit they still never ship the same day I 
order them.  If you hit the threshold for free shipping I believe things go UPS 
as well.

I just try to plan accordingly when I order from them and not order something 
I'm in a hurry for, if possible.

Re: [MBZ] 126 Rubber WUZ: ADMIN

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Clarification: OEM part.

I will give Autohaus credit for sourcing lots of little bits that are stupid 
expensive at the dealer, even with a discount. A good example of this is the O 
rings for the oiler tubes on the M119 engine. From MB they're like $2/each. 
Something like $0.35/each from Autohaus, and they often come in the original 
Carl Reinz bag, too.

I needed a thermostat for the "new" S420, as it takes forever to get to working 
temperature (I'm assuming it's got the original thermostat in it.) From the 
dealer it's like $45 my cost, the same OEM thermostat from Autohaus is under 
$30 shipped.
