Peter,
Another good thought, but on my car only one lug at the starter, main buss

Rick,
Good thought, but a 124 starter is opposite side alternator. Worth a look,
would be nice to find a loose connection.

It won't.
I have Michelin Destiny tires on the kids car and Kumho Solus on the coupe.

Check the positive cable on the starter -- typically, Benz attaches
the main buss line there, and it can slip up into the cable bundle
while you are wrestling the starter in, with the result that the
alternator is NOT connected to the electrical system. You can get
some contact by the loop

Ahh but thats something that anti-s are using to snub electric cars.
Apparently a Volt was left in a yard of some sort for 2 weeks after a crash and
finally spontaneously caught fire. A regular gas car would have had its fuel
tank drained, apparently nobody thought to disconnect the battery.

I didn't say that Steak 'n Shake's shakes were fake, just that the "base" is
ice milk, not ice cream. The flavorings were all real when I was doing it, but

That sucks. It is possible that the bolt is turning but not coming out because
the aluminum arm it threads into is stripped.
