Re: [MBZ] Interesting but I think price is too high

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I believe I have related this story before about a tornado in maybe 1974 
that went through Indiana and did huge amounts of damage.


I belonged to the flying club at Purdue and there was a deal if you 
washed and waxed an airplane you could get a couple hours of flying time 
for free.  I corralled a buddy who also lived in Fort Wayne, we were HS 
friends and classmates and he would go home with me occasionally, to 
come out and help me do the plane.  The club had its planes at this 
little private airport a bit NE of WLafayette kinda out in the country.  
We were out there one afternoon, I think it was a Sunday doing the 
plane, had washed it outside then pushed it into the hangar to wax it 
out of the sun.  It was a gorgeous spring afternoon.


After awhile maybe around 3ish I noticed the sky was getting a little 
weird, kind of a yellow glow, wind had died down and the insects had 
quit making bug noises.  The guy who owned the airport lived in a little 
house there and had a coupla dogs that were acting kinda weird.  I told 
my buddy we should probably think about going back to campus as I had 
seen this before and had an idea of what was coming.  I had a car at the 
time for a little while that my parents had let me take to school for 
some reason I forget and had driven it to the airport.  Anyway, we got 
in the car and put on the radio and the announcers were all screaming 
about storms and tornadoes so we said we had made a good call. Got about 
halfway back to campus and it started raining so hard we couldn't even 
see out of the windshield.  I pulled over best I could to what I thought 
was the side of the road and stopped. Wind was incredible and we both 
thought we were in the middle of a tornado, the radio was saying there 
was one going through and it was bad.  We were both about as scared as 
20yos can be because it was pretty rough.


After a few minutes the rain and wind stopped and the storm passed on by 
and sun came out, it was weird.  We got back to campus and of course 
everyone in the dorm was talking about it.  There were a couple of 
high-rise dorms maybe 1/4-1/2 mile away from ours that you could see, 
they were all saying the tornado was coming right at one of them but 
passed over at the last second and went up into the cloud then dropped 
down again and headed NE.  Next few days the news was full of reports 
about the storm and tornado and damaged it had caused for like 
20-30miles.  It was crazy.


Next weekend I got my buddy and we took the plane up for a reconnoiter.  
Flew to the SW a bit and found where the ground path had started then 
followed it for the whole path and it was 20-30miles.  Stayed pretty low 
so we could see the damage on the ground.  It had the whole deal -- 2x4s 
through phone poles, the path going between a house and shed or garage 
like a plow had torn up the ground but left everything either side 
completely intact.  The craziest thing was this steel truss bridge over 
the Wabash river had been picked up off its pilings and moved like 100ft 
downstream  and dropped intact in the river.


I remembered really bad tornadoes, Palm Sunday in probably 1965 or 1966 
or so that had even worse devastation. My parents went on a drive to 
oogle the damage and that made an impression on me.  This one was right 
up there.


A couple years later kind of the same situation, one spring afternoon it 
was getting a little weird, tornadoes were around, radio was saying 
there was one to the west.  I was living in this apartment complex at 
the time, my window faced west, I was looking out and shonuff about 
5-10miles away I could see one dancing from a cloud.  I kept an eye on 
it for a bit but it went on north of where I was and I don't think it 
actually did much damage anywhere.  Scary enough though.


We have them here on the Island too, I think a few years back associated 
with one of the hurricanes I had a small one hit right in front of the 
house in the woods, a few days later I noticed a bunch of small trees 
down in a swirl pattern.  A bit later I checked out the recorded radar 
path and it looked like it probably did come right through but here the 
strength was not registering so I guess it was not too strong.  It was 
winding and raining pretty hard at the time in the hurricane so did not 
hear or see it directly.


Be vigilant!

Re: [MBZ] Interesting but I think price is too high

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I guess a lot of people who haven’t grown up in the Midwest don’t understand 
the thrill of sitting out on the (enclosed) porch and watching the whole 
process of a big storm blowing up. Something I never tire of, but don’t see 
much of anymore, either.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting but I think price is too high

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

Two nights ago we had a batch go through. First time in 40+ years I went to bed 
with a tornado warning underway. 
Lightning struck a 525kV line tower about 400 yards from the house as we were 
watching the sideways rain. One kind of forgets how impressive that is. The 
whole experience was a little overwhelming to my youngest daughter who had 
never experienced the routine having lived in AZ all her life. 
I finished all the projects my dad had ready for me (rear brakes on the Ram I 
traded him, replacing a couple of janky boards on his expansive deck and 
prepping it for staining, setting a precast concrete stoop off his front porch, 
fetching and installing a modem for his house), we’ve done the requisite family 
visits introducing the new granddaughter, so it’s time to fly back to AZ 
tomorrow. 
Little Inch is busting some top teeth through so the trip home might be a 
little fussy.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting Benzing experience

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Many years ago I was coming back from northern Maine not long after Memorial 
Day. 

There was an accident and the whole highway was down to one lane at a walking 
pace. Occasionally somebody would decide they wanted to take the closest exit 
and would slip down the breakdown lane. Just ahead of me were a pair of monster 
5th wheel campers pulled by diesel dually pickups. They decided they'd try the 
breakdown lane trick.

It'd been a wet spring and the shoulder was soft. No problem for a car, just 
stay on the pavement. Well the wheels of that big camper hit the soft shoulder 
and it started to slide. It went slow but steady, I couldn't believe the driver 
kept driving but I guess he thought he could save it. By the time he decided he 
couldn't it was too late and the whole rig slid slowly into the ditch, the 
right side of the camper completely buried in the muck.

His buddy steered back into the travel lane and never stopped...

Both important points.  There can also be sudden wind surprises.  I know I
see a lot of guys blasting past me
in what look like brand-new muscle-bound pickup trucks towing what look
like brand-new very large RV's.
Going faster than anybody else, whipping in and out of traffic, etc.  I'm

Accidents waiting to happen if you ask me.

Once saw a nice new big RV on its side on the freeway, with the new towing
truck also tipped over on its side.
Stater said it was due to too much speed on the corner, probably
exacerbated by wind, and maybe evasion/braking
due to the onramp that was right there too.  Had plenty of time to chat,
while the road was closed.

Agree, and many of those RV trailers don't really weigh very much. Stick 
framing and plywood with fiberglass paneling on frame made from angle-iron. 
That doesn't help in a gusting crosswind.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting Benzing experience

I have found that a tad below 70, so like 68 or 69 is kind of a sweet spot as I 
am just a bit slower than the speed limit so I’m not having to pass a lot of 
other vehicles except for the occasional semi. So there’s not a lot of drama 
with having contention with other vehicles. And I can keep a good stopping 
distance ahead of me.

[MBZ] Interesting Benzing experience

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I went to look at this 95E420 and stole it out from under Kaleb after a bit of 
negotiation. I mostly wanted the AMG wheels (with 10yo Continental tars with 
some usable tread) for the 92 400E but it has other good bits too and the 
catholic conversions are still on it.  It’s not in bad shape but apparently the 
engine was not running.  Overall I guess it wasn’t a bad deal, a bit more than 
I would generally pay but the wheels are worth a good amount. They’ll need new 
paint but weren’t dinged. 

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/345688404493236/?mibextid=6ojiHh

The guy was really nice and said he was restoring a 190E Cosworth that was at a 
buddy’s shop having some engine work done. Showed me a picture of it, looked 
really nice. He teaches auto body work at the local community college there. I 
wish he was closer!

His wife came out and we were chatting and asked where I was from. I told her 
and the guy says he did some body work on a VW bus he sold to a guy called 
Derek from there. Turns out Derek is a friend of mine. The guy shows me this 
old video of them coming to pick up the bus. That was really cool.  Small 
world. 

I’ll have to come back up to pick up the E420 next weekend as I’ve got the $600 
99E320 on the trailer and going to Bristol TN tomorrow to swap it for a crank 
no start 06E350 in very nice condition with AMG stuff and they’re giving me 
$500 too. Good deal!  I’m taking a crank position sensor to swap onto it to see 
if maybe that’s what’s keeping it from starting. I’m not sure the balance shaft 
has failed on it but maybe. 

Got 13.2mpg in the GL450 towing the car at 70ish most of the way to my 
daughter’s about 220mi. That’s down from 19-20 it generally gets. Will be worse 
tomorrow in the mountains.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting -- transmission issues -- SLK 230,$1,000

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Ok 722.6 that’s what I was thinking. I sent a msg have not heard back. 
Connector might be buggered or the TCM was bad to begin with or fluid leak not 
the trans. Likely nothing significant esp if some jackleg mech was doing the 
work. I could probably get it sorted in the driveway. 

It’s maybe 4hr away but could be worth the trip. Quick fix and easy flip. I 
really can’t fit in those things so of no particular interest as a fun driver.

This car ran and drove great till one day she wouldn’t even try to 
start. Mechanic said starter engine and transmission is good but has 
electrical problem. Nice tires and rims are removed but available for 
$400 more. Also exhaust removed and available separately as well.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting...

[G Mann via Mercedes]

If the car has been sitting unused and not running for some time and is a
gas car, which means the last tank was most likely ethanol fuel, the tank
will be loaded with "ethanol varnish" and the fuel system will be plugged
with it. Expect to have to do a fuel tank removal and cleaning, all
fuel lines, complete engine fuel delivery system replacement, or [if
possible] rebuild...
$$$ .. to do all this??? Your best guess.. still won't be enough, most
likely.
But, if it's nice enough car to warrant that level of work.. and cheap
enough to warrant that level of further investment.. you might just get
lucky.
Good luck..

That's 18538 miles/year, 1545 miles/month. For a 5-day work week drive,
260 times per year, that's 71.3 miles/day.

If I worked in Albuquerque, I would drive that amount every day, and some
more on Sunday and Saturday.

So, very doable.

[MBZ] Interesting Benz history -- the first imported to US

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I'm on our local water company board.  One of the techs just dropped off 
my packet for next week's meeting and saw my cars and was telling me 
about the first Benz brought to the US by a guy who also invented the 
fire hydrant.  I looked it up and discovered some amazing history I had 
no idea about.  Here's a start, but search on his name and you'll get 
all kinds of great stuff.


https://www.muellermuseum.org/mueller-bio/

In 1892 Hieronymus imported a Benz automobile from Germany and, together 
with his sons, began refining it with such features as a reverse gear, 
water-cooled radiator, newly-designed spark plugs, and a make-and-break 
distributor – all leading to patents. His automobile innovations were 
such that his “Mueller-Benz” won the first unofficial road race in the 
nation in 1895 and finished 2nd in the first official race held a few 
weeks later in Chicago.

Says it's a Euro version. Instrumentation is also metric.

Manuals are much more popular in Europe, guessing there are a lot of manual 
options that were never offerd in North America.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting Trivia

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Talking to this guy at LKQ today he says his nephew (who is also A parts puller 
there) bought a 2010 E430 (I think that was it) from a guy who brought it in to 
sell as the air shocks (which I guess the car has) were collapsed and he didn’t 
want to pay for new ones so he was going to sell it to LKQ. The nephew bought 
it from him for $700. They were going to fix it this afternoon with shocks from 
somewhere, then flip it. If it’s in decent shape that’s probably $6-7k at 
least.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting Trivia

[G Mann via Mercedes]

It was a perfect storm, generated by the brains of those who lobby
congress... The great crash of 2008 left people out of work, broke, and
underwater on their house mortgages. They were not able to buy a new car
when the garage they would keep it in was in foreclosure.
Then, CFC program came out to sweep available cheap cars off the trading
floor and "stimulate" new car sales [remember Chevy was bankrupt?, and
Chrysler? Ford was the only car company with its head above water [barely]
 Banks would not make car loans unless you were so rich you didn't need
one, because they were busted and living on "bailout money".
To force new car sales [stimulate was the magic word used] the government
bought and crushed anything that would run or tow into the CFC lot.
2009 through 2011 were lean years for car sales... and everyone else...
Then, slowly, people went back to work, banks loaned money, houses built
and sold, new cars
It's been a hard run since 2008 and the fallout is still falling out.
$10.00 per gallon gas [coming real soon] is another social engineering
program to stimulate EV car sales. [That magic word again "stimulate"] ...
more electric generation ignored to feed those EV cars..
Reporter: Dr. Einstein, what is the difference between ignorance and genius?
Dr. Einstein: There is no shortage of ignorance.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting power thingie

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Aren't those wires also live when using the ODB port to power the system?
The battery in a trunk you can't open does require something like the ODB
port, but I wonder if the lighter socket won't do the same thing?

The issue this can address is inability to access the battery in the trunk. I

True, but this is far more elegant of an approach, especially if you’re 
changing a battery. You would be wrestling live battery cables around the 
engine compartment while you’re trying to swap a battery.
