[MBZ] Cibie headlights?

My 85 300D had a set of cibies installed by Jon Agne years ago. Driving back from the Q in 2019, a stone took one out. I’m not finding any available to replace it. I can only find Hella. Is Cibie no longer in business? Is it ok to leave one Cibie and replace the other with Hella? Sent from my i

Re: [MBZ] Why would anybody want to live in CA?

So if you have A neighbor that hates you and decides to report you to the authorities because you’re fixing your car in your garage, you get penalized. There are a lot of asshole neighbors ask me how I know. That is the problem with ordinances like these and HOAs etc. Sent from my iPhone > On

Re: [MBZ] OT - Crazy Real Estate

A liberal arts degree is worthless nowadays. They force feed you crap like gender studies and indoctrinate you with liberalism. In the past, I mean 100 years ago, you’d come out of an undergraduate institution an educated person, versed in the classics, philosophy, history, art and the sciences.

[MBZ] Rounded drain plug!

Yup like the idiot that I am I rounded the oil drain plug on the 90 300D 2.5. It was in bad shape to begin with and tight so there you have it. I haven’t done anything this stupid since my early twenties when I started wrenching on cars. My plan of attack is to weld a cheap 13 mm socket onto it
