Re: [MBZ] '07 E320CDI

You are making me jealous. That Texas 190Dc would be a lot more fun! Those are great cars to drive, so long as you don't corner too hard with nothing in the trunk. I still think you would put a 114/115 rear end (not really a subframe) under them and get much improved handling.

I see a new type cert. in your future! Waytago! 'Went out and sat in Schwartze a long while late yesterday learning to use the nav system and deleting former owner's destinations. Whew - a bunch of 'em! Left couple of 'em in common with mine - RDU, Duke Hosp. Slowly coming along.

[MBZ] Ideas?

Seems like a quiet weekend. Everyone must be busy with mama, yard and garden, and neglecting our Benzes. I have probably 40 or so hard drives ranging from 10 gb to 40 gb left from when I used to supply removable drives for classrooms. (and a few 9 gb scsi drives) Rather than pitch them or

Re: [MBZ] Laws hep me

I am going to go look at this thing. I talked to the guy the other day, said it had a "gas issue" but would start and run, and the hood wouldn't open. He posted it again today. If it runs and looks half OK I'm going to insult him with a lowball (NO LOWBALLERS) price and see what he says.

Re: [MBZ] Battery info

I had figured out that the H8 seemed to be the same as a 49. For a while a 49 was $150 or more while a 93 was ~$100 at advanceauto. I bought the 93 as the CCA was the same. Last time (Feb) the prices were the same. Thanks for the info. Group 49, or 93, or H8 or ??? I decided to get

[MBZ] POSitive news

Took the POSitive out for a drive tonight. Probably about 100 to 120 miles. It performed well. This was the longest drive since the Diesel Kleen started to cut loose the soy oil polymer tank lining and cause massive fuel filter pluggin, resulting in the tank coming out and a week of
