Re: [MBZ] might be interesting

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

You'd think maybe they'd find dealers who would be willing to provide
title services as a donation-in-kind. Tax writeoff for the dealer, plus
goodwill. More $$$ for the charity. Maybe not enough kind-hearted
dealers around?

On the other hand if the charity is volunteer-run, it sort of makes
sense to keep the workload to a minimum, otherwise you lose volunteers.

Re: [MBZ] might be interesting

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Which brings us back to government/charity think: free money beats no 
money.


About 20 years ago, a local fire chief signed a contract with 
telemarketers.
The telemarketers did all the work, and at the end of the campaign 
they'd cut a check to the FD for 4% of the gross. Which was all well and 
good, until the details became public, and the average working stiff was 
quite irate to learn that giving $100 of hard earned cash to the FD 
meant flushing $96 down the tube from their point of view.

Re: [MBZ] might be interesting

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

There was some sort of charity outfit in Houston that would get donated cars 
and have a live auction once a month at a lot they had in a fairly rough part 
of town. I went to a couple just for grins. Some of the cars were total junk, 
others not too bad. I remember some kid and his mother were there once and 
bought a half-decent 300SD for $800, the kid was ecstatic. It was a reasonable 
deal at the time. Another one I remember was a clapped-out Vega 2 ol boys 
bought to make a dragster, it went for some fairly big money, like $2k if I 
recall but they were happy with the deal. 

The auctions lasted a year or two then faded away, no idea what happened to the 
organization.

They don’t care, because it’s essentially free money for them.

My local NPR station has a guy that coordinates these donations. That is, he 
makes the calls to the service that disposes of the cars/boats/whatever. They 
never touch or see the vehicle, they just call a service that picks it up, 
determines the best way to get rid of it (many times it’s CoPart) and sends 
them the check after deducting his fees.

they just leave it on the donor's title and sell it to dealers who can 
reassign the title. But that kills the auction value of the donated car.

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 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.

Allstate has been advertising "pay per mile" plans here, so it's probaby
related to that.

The app gives you the ability to remove or delete “trips” that it records. For 
instance, if you’re not driving, you can tell it you’re not.

You can also disable the app’s ability to phone home, too, if you want.

Why do I use it? Because I get a significant discount with it, like
20%. When your insurance costs exceed $3k/year for two cars, ten bucks
is ten bucks, as Geddy Lee says. I vetted the app and found that it’s
pretty innocuous for the most part, relying primarily on the
accelerometer to determine braking, acceleration and speed. Those are
the biggies.


That's my favorite part. If you stop for a yellow light and check your 
scorecard afterward, they ding you for a 'hard stop'. If you sail 
through as or slightly after the light turns red, your insurance score 
is better.

Especially when it is a euro version.  A 107 280SL will outrun the us 
versions of the 350, 450, 380, and possibly the 560 in american trim. 
Yuro M110 is a hot engine. (for its day)   It is not a 2.3 cosworth as 
in the 190E 2.3-16, but it is NOT shabby.


A us version 300SEL is not far from a 200D automatic

It was drilled into our heads in the 60s and 70s:  the fallicy, "there's 
no replacement for displacement"  My first foray into German cars showed 
me different, and even before that, in HS, a guy had a Fiat Abarth that 
caused may stories to be told.  That Abarth was what?  maybe 1200cc  no 
more than 1600.

Those are still the burning of fossil fuels, just remotely, by big

Actually since  a lot of manufacturing is done offshore its by big corporations 
that own their governments and force more lax environmental laws...

At least that's their plan.  Solar to get the hydrogen, hydrogen

Sure and there are no losses from transmission. The thing is that the greenies 
want "no tailpipe emissions" to equal "no emissions" which they don't.
I had a huge argument once where my side of the argument was just me repeating 
"where does the hydrogen come from" over and over. My opponent had no answer, 
he had no idea where hydrogen came from for powering a fuel cell...
Last time I looked into it, which would have been maybe 2 years ago, the best 
report I could find was that electrolysis to get hydrogen was something like 
20% efficient.

Fall down laughing is a good thing?  The argument FOR electric or

Fall down laughing is a good thing?  The argument FOR electric or
hydrogen powered cars might be that the pollution generator is a
solitary point source generator rather than a diverse pollution
generator driving along the road?

Precisely.  Hydrogen is not an energy source (unless you live on the sun).
Hydrogen is an energy storage medium (and a troublesome one at that).
Something else is the source.

They're paying you to haul their freight, not your own vehicle
weight. If you're carrying a ton of fuel and two tons of
batteries, you're throwing away payload because total weight is
limited by law.


Yup.  That the reason for aluminum wheels the wide base tires
instead of duals.

Aluminum can save about 30 lb., which is over 500 lbs saving for a
tractor-trailer combination.  1/4 ton - but enough that most road
trucks bother.

A single wide base tire and wheel assembly weighs about 300 lbs
less than a typical dual wheel assembly resulting in about 2400 lb
savings for the whole combination.  Some drives say the wide base
ride better than duals.  The down-side to the wide base tires is
the lack of redundancy, considerable expense in retrofitting.

With any of these weight savings, it's the bulk hauling that makes
the best use because it's easy to add just a few more pounds.
With packaged freight, it's hard to add one more package to each
pallet after the loads been made up.

Even with the truck at less than weight capacity, fuel use goes
down as the weight goes down so even packaged freight can see some
savings from less weight even if revenue doesn't go up.

Aluminum power is added to the dope to reflect ultra-violet, reducing the
deteriorating effect of UV exposure on the fabric. It adds many years to
the life of the fabric covering. The nitrate dope was very flammable.

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting, Hydrogen

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

It was indeed the fabric, and the nitrocellulose/aluminum powder/iron  
oxide dope (thermite with a fuse, so to speak).   The Deutchland was  
immediately grounded and the entire covering removed and replaced  
before she flew again (on the South American route) for this very  
reason.


Needless to say, the Nazis didn't bother to tell anyone else what  
happened, mostly for liability reasons.  Painting an airship with  
something that can be ignited by a spark (or even a tear in the  
fabric) isn't too smart.


On top of the flammability, the individual panels of linen fabric were  
NOT grounded together with conductive thread, so the static discharge  
to the ground line caused a spark somewhere in the tail that ignited  
some of the linen panels.  Fire spread from the tail forward, as you  
can see from the films of the event.


Naturally, thermite (iron oxide and aluminum powder) burns HOT -- a  
family friend of ours worked for the railroad immediately before WWII  
and used it to weld railroad rails together.  Leaves molten iron as  
"ash".


History Detectives did a piece on this, if you ignore the theatrics  
it's quite interesting.

Payload capacity is everything in a semi tractor.
They're paying you to haul their freight, not your own vehicle weight.  
If you're carrying a ton of fuel and two tons of batteries, you're throwing away
payload because total weight is limited by law.

We have CNG vehicles because natural gas is too hard to liquify, but this thing
will run on liquid hydrogen? 
Will it be continuously boiling off in a giant Dewar flask?
