Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

WOW That 300SDL is nice. But 405K miles? Wow. I don't think that would get better than 25 mpg. Right? It is nice. I am lusting in my heart for the Green 240D. My trip is 65 miles and I'm guessing it might take 15 to get up to 80MPH. Or will one these actually go that fast? It would get g

Re: [MBZ] Pahtz sources

What is their other parts website? It seemed like the MBNorthlake website had higher prices than the discount MB parts website they ran. Curley McLain October 27, 2017 at 1:24 AM Ja, Northlake is what i was trying to remember. Danke! Max Dillon via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Banned?

I grew up (or, rather, spent my first 23 years) in Indiana, mostly, then another 22 in the Boston area, so I knew cold.  Then moved to Texas and now SC and my blood is totally thin now.  I was at a thing the other evening after the cold front came through, and it was down like in the 60s and I

Re: [MBZ] Banned?

All true. I cut firewood all winter when I was in Jr. High/high school. Boots 2 sizes too big, Cotton socks, bread sack, 2 pr wool socks, another bread sack and into the boot. That made all the difference in the world! I could be comfortable cutting, splitting and loading at 0, 10 below or

Re: [MBZ] Banned?

I hated winter in WI the first year (realize that it wasn't foreign to me, moving there from IN) but I soon realized that if you didn't get out and have fun, you would go flipping nuts. Once that realization set in, it was fun! Cross country skiing, snowmobiling, etc., etc. There was always so

Re: [MBZ] Banned?

I actually grew to like winter quite a bit, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. It appealed to the rugged individualism in me. If one can survive rural life in Wisconsin winters and learn to enjoy it, one can be happy in just about any conditions. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Oct 2

Wife used to have to go to Tomahawk when she worked for Harley, as they had a plant there that did all their fiberglass stuff like fairings. She hated going in the winter Poos > On Oct 27, 2017, at 11:27 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > I grew up not far at all from Rhinelander

Re: [MBZ] Banned?

True. I recall being in Wausau in January once. It was so cold that when I went out in the morning and sat in my car, the springs and upholstery didn't compress when I sat on them. I believe it was only about 20F below that morning. Poos > On Oct 27, 2017, at 12:20 PM, Curley McLain via Merce

We've got an Advance auto that just opened, and it's within walking distance of my house. I haven't walked there yet, but it's nice to know that I could walk or bike over if needed. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list arc

I never talk to their people, except at the store I dump waste oil at. There's a guy there who is a friend of my oldest son's, so I try to be decent to him as he's been helpful on a couple of occasions for finding me stuff or ordering it into the store for stock so I don't get nailed for shippin
