The second photo shows the corner of the backing plate across the back of the

I've been driving the 300SD a bit the past few days. I've not really
driven it too much since I got it, and I feel like the braking is a

I've only heard bad things about them, all the way back to the mbz.org

I've heard that Metric Motors USED TO BE a source of factory

Halon is very very dangerous because it is very heavy, and if you
breath any in, it will sit in your lungs and not come back out. You
can very easily suffocate while still breathing.
It also makes lots of nice clean phosgene gas when it contacts fire.
