I am not really sure if that happened or not.  I think if it was a 
cracked or broken rib I would be in worse pain but never broken anything 
so i dont know.  Fixing to head off to bed so will see what I am like in 
the morning.  I have GOT to get this rental house done this week.  Next 
week I am out of town for the week for work.

I was out in the back 40 unloading that 4matic wagon off the trailer.  Since 
the front drive shaft it out or whatever is going on it free rolls while it 
park.  Parking brake does not work.  I was carefully removing the last strap 
and car rolls slightly but was able to hold it with the door handle.  Just as I 
was removing the strap it started rolling.  I stupidly jumped into the car as 
it was picking up speed to try and stop it.  I caught my leg between the open 
door and the trailer then slammed my back left side into the B pillar as I 
jumped into the car.  Got it stopped within inches of hitting another car.  
When I hit the b pillar  it sort of knocked the air out of me and had severe 
pain and can barely move in certain angles.  I wonder if I might have bruised a 
rib or something. Thinking back on it, this could have turned out very badly so 
I do not recommend trying to jump into a car as it is rolling off a trailer.  
It starts out very slow but gains speed in the blink of an eye.

[MBZ] I was nearly killed today

2020-10-06 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
I was out in the back 40 unloading that 4matic wagon off the trailer.  
Since the front drive shaft it out or whatever is going on it free rolls 
while it park.  Parking brake does not work.  I was carefully removing 
the last strap and car rolls slightly but was able to hold it with the 
door handle.  Just as I was removing the strap it started rolling.  I 
stupidly jumped into the car as it was picking up speed to try and stop 
it.  I caught my leg between the open door and the trailer then slammed 
my back left side into the B pillar as I jumped into the car.  Got it 
stopped within inches of hitting another car.  When I hit the b pillar  
it sort of knocked the air out of me and had severe pain and can barely 
move in certain angles.  I wonder if I might have bruised a rib or 
something. Thinking back on it, this could have turned out very badly so 
I do not recommend trying to jump into a car as it is rolling off a 
trailer.  It starts out very slow but gains speed in the blink of an eye.

Re: [MBZ] I know what kinda car it is and what it is worth

2020-10-06 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
 I've had 2x 190D 2.2l. I've never heard of a 2.4l W201 which doesn't mean they 
don't exist but I've never heard of one. I remember Marshall had a grey market 
2.0l.
The 5spd 1985 that I had would average 38mpg with 43 being the highest I ever 
got, I had to work at it to get there but I guessed that 45mpg might be 
possible but you'd want to be somewhere pretty flat and you'd have to go pretty 
slow.

The '84 auto box averaged more like 36, I think I might have gotten it to nudge 
40mpg once. I disliked that car, the 2.2l really wants a manual transmission.
The market for these has crashed terribly, I paid just under $3k for my first 
one in 2005 and it was the cheapest one I could find. The second came with a 
"broken timing chain" for $250. It really had a broken timing chain cover and 
turned out to be a reasonable investment but not a fun car to drive.

If it's a one-owner documented car it might be worth a gamble for maybe
$1500.

That looks like some kind of lorem ipsum keyword generator, intended to match 
every conceivable
search filter so that this ad. turns up on any vehicle search, yet not get 
flagged and discarded as
merely having a crass list of inappropriate keywords tacked at the end.  I've 
seen it before.

Or the guy is batshit crazy.

Re: [MBZ] Nice car, interesting car jibberish

The sovereign citizen stuff gets caught in our data loss prevention system, so 
I’ll see it when it hits the fence. It’s amazing to read and doesn’t seem to be 
totally crazy until you read and parse the whole thing. My Mom got caught up in 
this garbage years ago and was convinced that she wouldn’t have to pay taxes if 
she claimed to be a sovereign citizen. It was silly to think, as  she was 
retired and probably paid little to nothing in taxes to begin with.

Fortunately, my brother, a commercial banker who also took care of her 
financials, convinced her it would be a very bad idea for her to pursue this. 
She backed off.

I believe Theodore John Kaczynski was clearly pretty smart.
The batshit part seems pretty well established too.

I was at a trade show of some sort once, this well-dressed, well-spoken 
guy comes up to me and engages in a conversation, seemed pretty smart 
and interested in whatever I was flogging at the time.  After a few 
minutes he says he needs to go look at other stuff but could I take a 
look at this stack of papers he pulls from his satchel then get back to 
him on how to proceed.  I say sure, he hands me the papers and walks off.


I had a slow time so I started reading this stuff.  It was several pages 
of well-written nonsense, single-spaced, no paragraph breaks, something 
about atomic energy if I recall. Stuff like this.  Guy stops by a bit 
later and wants to engage on my thoughts on his report, was very 
persistent.  I guess I was the only person to talk with him.  He got 
annoying so finally I had to tell him I couldn't talk anymore, he got 
pretty agitated but finally left.  It was weird, I guess he was total 
schizo.  Kinda said too as the guy was clearly pretty smart but just 
batsh*t crazy.

I was not sure the stuff could be reused.  Looks like your dead cells
power appliances and other junk until they perish.  Then it all gets
chopped up and sent to China for their use.


Supplies of Lithium are becoming like rare earth metals due to the 
incredible volume of lithium containing battery production. Stuff with 
lithium batteries shouldn't go to waste. (but I think rare earth magnets 
for high power motors are the main constraint on our ability to produce 
EVs today)
