[MBZ] Computer screwup

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So I needed to use my sds system on my other computer today running VMware. The 
host machine was upgraded to windows 10. The virtual machine is not seeing the 
rs232 pcmcia serial port. In the host machine it seems to be installed but is 
not showing in device manager as a com port. So I figured the driver needed to 
be updated or something after the windows 10 update. I went on a search for a 
driver and thought I found one but mistakenly downloaded a exe file which 
apparently was virus/malware ridden. All sorts of stuff starts happening. I 
scanned with malewarebytes and it found almost 1900 threats. It's removing them 
now.  When this completes I will run an avg scan. I have not messed up like 
that in a while. 

Anyway, still looking for a driver.

[MBZ] Smacked in the back

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

Ok, odd question.

Could being hit in the back of the car have made damage to the suspension?  I 
put on the brakes and hear as well as feel a KLICK from the front end.  This 
did not happen before the accident.  I am also having a jiggly idle.  The 
engine mounts are pretty fresh.  I think the engine was installed a few years 
ago and had all of 500 mile on it before I got ahold of the car.  Oh, the 
engine actually has around 150k, but the mounts had 500 when I got the car.  I 
have put around 4k on the clock since then.  That would be two oil changes on 
my watch.

I am not much for physic or other energy shenanigans and the impacts on the 
rest of my car, but I suspect it could be possible for a wee honda going 30mph 
impacting a 2 ton car that is stopped just might case more than some deformed 
sheet metal

I could not find any Mobil1 ATF when I was changing the transmission

My plate is full now, what with recovering from a vacation trip and
likely getting ready for another trip with the big rig.

Got to get the big ready ready as much as possible for the trip, since
I have not yet gotten an APU and engine-off climate control apparatus
installed in it. I also need to get the AM/FM radio replaced and the CB
working.
