175 bid increment on THAT is kinda stupid/ridiculous.

Re: [MBZ] crazy prices for service at the stealer

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I used to have a good dealer 150 miles away.  As is usually the case, it 
was a very old dealership, having sold studebakers since cars had wood 
spokes, long before Stue began importing MBs.  Like most of the good old 
dealers, they are long gone.  Now the stealers have to have (and 
support) new expensive glass showrooms on expensive real estate.


Same with BMW motorcycle stealers.  I had a great dealer about 90 miles 
away.  It was in an old building that had been added onto many times.  
They only had 1 to 3 machines, new or used in the (dusty) showroom.  An 
8' garage door open meant they were open.  They grove gravel trucks to 
pay for keeping the doors open.  They stocked everything I ever needed.  
They were knowledgeable and always fair.  BMW kicked them out for a 
fancy showroom 35 miles further in a bigger town, where they stocked 
maybe 20 new BMWs (10 more than they could sell)  and went under in a 
few years.  Rinse, wash, repeat


I knew of a couple great old BMW car dealers too.  They got forced out 
of business by BMW before they got around to making motorcycles part of 
the "luxury" image.

Well another point of view I have a dealer about 50 miles,away- Carriage
House of New London CT that is,honest & very competent. They have been
straight with me & a MB friend for 15 years. Of course there is a nearby
stealer that does oversell.

Re: [MBZ] Clay's tire issues could be resolved with this

Bolt it to the street curb, use it, then unbolt it and stash it 
somewhere until needed again?

All my cool tools are bolted to logs standing on end. Grinder, buffer, 
vac pump, chop saw. I have to haul them out of my tiny shed, onto my 
tiny porch, use them, then stuff them back into the hole. No room for 
a pallet to hold a tire do-hickey. I have to use the welding table as 
picnic table space is so dear.

Re: [MBZ] Not even sure what to say about this

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

We are older, and more likely to take time to remedy issues on our own, instead 
of paying somebody else to make a car pretty.  The Classic Center will rebuild 
cars, but I would not be able to drive one, for fear I might hurt it.   Buy low 
and wrench value back into the cars.  It takes a lot of work to turn a driver 
into an exceptional example though.  

I do like being a bottom feeder.  I got Allen about a year ago for free.  I 
gave the guy a dollar.  Over the past 11 months I have been able to turn her 
into a $3899 value, according to the insurance adjuster.  If I can reupholster 
the seats, put pretty Bundts and fresh rubber, and finish up the paint work, I 
could have a $4k car.

Re: [MBZ] How much for a 560 SEL?

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

Not really all that hot of an example.  Too much rust and corrosion.  The 
repairs are a pale approximation of Jim’s microwave magic.  The tires look like 
somebodies pooch marked them, and I question the value of putting Tex into the 
car where the rest is leather.  The cruise control does not function, I doubt 
the AC functions, and then there is the issue with Djet.  Being built 11/73, 
there is also the transitionary nature of parts.  A person will really need the 
VIN to be able to establish just which parts were used where.   Are they the 
1972 parts or the 1974 standards?

All that whining being made, I find that the current bid is just about spot on.

Re: [MBZ] crazy prices for service at the stealer

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

Well another point of view I have a dealer about 50 miles,away- Carriage
House of New London CT that is,honest & very competent. They have been

Yup.  That was what I had in mind with the comment

   the changer in place when I need it."

Something like this should do the job.

All my cool tools are bolted to logs standing on end.  Grinder, buffer, vac 
pump, chop saw.  I have to haul them out of my tiny shed, onto my tiny porch, 
use them, then stuff them back into the hole.  No room for a pallet to hold a 
tire do-hickey.I have to use the welding table as picnic table space is so 
dear.

Re: [MBZ] How much for a 560 SEL?

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

Nobody wants a 380SLC.   Only the one year, but so many compromises to that 
model, not worth owning.  Better to find a 500SLC (450SLC 5.0) with all 
documentation.

Re: [MBZ] Early R107 auction

That is fairly simple to resolve.  I am needing to build a replacement for 
Frosch.  Finding Euro bumpers will be a bear though.  I would worry about rust, 
it being MI car.

Re: [MBZ] Clay's tire issues could be resolved with this

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

I tried the long blade to see if I could section the tires.  That was a bit 
unwieldy.  The blade was also getting too close to the face of the rim, so I 
will wait for the rain to stop and switch to a much shorter blade to trim the 
sidewalls down.

Wow, that was a poor choice, but not as poor as some of my choices. I can think 
back to things I should have chosen differently that would have lead to making 
way more money which I would like to think would have amounted to more than 
that over a working lifetime

The other thing with these machines is that they are really very basic. 
As such, there is little need to mount them inside a garage. Any solid 
concrete pad should do. The weather ought not to hurt them much. If it 
pleases, you, paint them annually. Oil up any threads and carry on.
Hey, mount it on the patio and add a removable table to hold your cold

I have the Coats version of that manual tire machine... [exactly same

I mounted it to a 48" x 48" pallet, with a piece of 3/4 inch plywood
covering the pallet and through bolts that caught both the pallet and the
plywood.. Tire work is done standing on the pallet with zero issues. The
machine has manual bead break for both front and back sides, and a lever
bar that's about 4' long.

Tip: Buy a gallon of Ruglyde rubber lubricant and the mop, slop it on the
bead of the tire, both sides, AND the rim... it makes remounts go easy. I
also use it for dismounts to help old rubber slip off the rims. Failing
that, a stiff mix of dish soap and a brush will give good service... don't
be shy, slop it on.

A search of the inter-web will pull up a YouTube video that compares the
Harbor Freight tire tool vs the Northern Tool unit... Northern Tool wins
hands down... Slight more money, much stronger build.. better quality...
Your choice...

Poor enough?

[MBZ] OT - Viktor Schauberger

[Mountain Man via Mercedes]

Okay - this is Dr. Craig arena, or maybe not?  physics, etc. okiebenz
has its share of information geeks, so have at it and tell us what you
know?

Schauberger was a naturalist forestry guy in Austria 100-years ago
that evidently got to know how things operate by spending time
outdoors?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXPrLGUGZsw

"It is possible to regulate watercourses over any given distance
without embankment works; to transport timber and other materials,
even when heavier than water, for example ore, stones, etc., down the
centre of such water-courses; to raise the height of the watertable in
the surrounding countryside and to endow the water with all those
elements necessary for the prevailing vegetation."
"Furthermore it is possible in this way to render timber and other
such materials non-inflammable and rot resistant; to produce drinking
and spa-water for man, beast and soil of any desired composition and
performance artificially, but in the way that it occurs in Nature; to
raise water in a vertical pipe without pumping devices; to produce any
amount of electricity and radiant energy almost without cost; to raise
soil quality and to heal tuberculosis, cancer and a variety of
physical disorders."

"... the practical implementation of this ... would without doubt
signify a complete reorientation in all areas of science and
technology. By application of these new found laws, I have already
constructed fairly large installations in the spheres of log-rafting
and river regulation, which as is known, have functioned faultlessly
for a decade, and which today still present insoluble enigmas to the
various scientific disciplines concerned."

https://www.alivewater.com/viktor-schauberger

Fascinating?
Certainly someone reading OkieBenz has heard of this guy?
Repulsine flying saucer was developed by Schauberger at concentration
camp Mauthausen.
Use translate.google to read in english, or... read it in de:

Health care in the Arab states is usually top notch, except for maybe places 
like Yemen...  The contracts I considered back in the day included health 
insurance and disability, much like you would find here.

What about health care, and related insurance? That would be the deciding 
factors for me.
Ultimately, probably SWMBO will be a deciding factor.

Re: [MBZ] Taking rust free cars to Michigan

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Heck, if the spouse is willing, go to Abu Dhabi.  Then you’ll be able to retire 
in style when you’re done.  Not only that, with a month off and a $12k annual 
travel stipend, see the world on your time off.  Do some Viking River Cruises 
in Europe.  That’s pretty much what the people I know who did it did.

It’s not apples to apples with the domestic job.  After the IRS gets done 
squeezing you you’ll be lucky to have half that unless you have Mitch managing 
your accounts.

Re: [MBZ] Taking rust free cars to Michigan

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

I’m speaking with my super flamboyant, Uber gay tax man next week to discuss 
this stuff to ensure I know exactly what’s up. 
My conditional offer has 31 days off a year, $12K per year family travel 
stipend. 
The company is paying for everything. It’s nuts. My quandary is a plant in 
Michigan is offering nearly the exact same money, but I have to pay my living 
expenses and the first $108K is not tax free. 

What to do??

I figured it was a bargain for a Kaleb or so. 
But a NJ bidder and a FL bidder got in quite a battle over it. 
The guy from Jaimeland ended up with it for $2950 plus fees. 
That feels like BATmoney to me.

Nice, but once you commit you’re on the hook.  Decide you don’t like it or get 
homesick, you’re screwed.  What’s the penalty for severance?  That was usually 
pretty serious when I was in a line of work where these were common.  Also, any 
travel provided, and what kind of annual time off?

I seriously considered a two year gig in Micronesia (Solomon Islands, I recall) 
that was about $160k/year in the early 90s.  No dependents, so I would be on my 
own, which had a high suck factor to compare to the money I would have made.  
Annual salaries for comparable Stateside positions at the time were in the

Re: [MBZ] How much for a 560 SEL?

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Sure is a lot of BAT chatter for a car with a $3000 bid.  Rust was a huge
issue, so being garaged is a huge advantage.  Red is also a very rare color
for SL Cs.  That being said, I would try to find the very latest one
available (1981), garage kept, low documented miles, and in showroom
condition.  Then I would hang on for a decade until it's worth $50k.

Re: [MBZ] Taking rust free cars to Michigan

[Ed Booher via Mercedes]

Abu Dhabi? That would be *really* interesting from a cultural perspective.
I'd like to have an offer from out there, give me a new outlook on life and
such. Probably wouldn't want to live there forever though, but the amount
of money has got to have created some really crazy differences.

[MBZ] Daimler next?

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

The carmaker Volkswagen has suspended its head of external relations and 
sustainability after admitting that he had known about experiments in which 
monkeys were locked in small chambers and exposed to diesel exhaust.

Thomas Steg, a former government spokesman, who worked for German chancellor 
Angela Merkel and her predecessor Gerhard Schröder, is the first person to be 
relieved of his duties as VW said it was “drawing the consequences” of the 
scandal which has rocked both the government and industry.

The company initially tried to distance itself from the institute which 
commissioned the tests, the European Research Group of Environment and Health 
in the Transport Sector (EUGT), a car lobby group funded by Volkswagen, DAIMLER 
and BMW. But it is now known that VW managers were informed about the testing 
before and after it was carried out.

I suppose another option is to bolt it to the floor in a corner and stack loose 
tires over it so that it doesn't waste storage space. But then you can't walk 
around the tire, you might have to stop and rotate the wheel in the machine as 
you work around the rim.

Speaking of which, I think the intake manifold and EGR is all gunked up, 
I gotta get it off and see if I can clean it up, maybe do the bypass on

I suppose another option is to bolt it to the floor in a corner and stack loose 
tires over it so that it doesn't waste storage space. But then you can't walk 
around the tire, you might have to stop and rotate the wheel in the machine as 
you work around the rim.

Re: [MBZ] Kaleb Could Have Driven This Home...

That looks half decent, but then he wouldn't be able to get this $500 
dizzel.


Speaking of which, I think the intake manifold and EGR is all gunked up, 
I gotta get it off and see if I can clean it up, maybe do the bypass on 
the EGR, and get this thing running.

Re: [MBZ] Kaleb Could Have Driven This Home...

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Why?

The  4Matic system on the W210s is trouble-free and pretty bulletproof compared 
to the earlier version on the W124.

The only real problem with 4Matic on the W210 is that it complicates a number 
of jobs that would otherwise be relatively simple, like front shocks and motor 
mounts.
