Re: [MBZ] W211 E500 more air suspension questions

RockAuto also has these by "FCS" for $365.

https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=11387517=1426429=7556=1387

I probably sound like I'm cheaping out, and if it were a newer car I'd not 
hesitate to just put new Bilsteins in it but the car is 20 years old. I'm 
taking more of a "keep it on the road" approach with it. Yet I want to get 
something that's not going to blow out in 18 months and especially not leave me 
on the side of the road needing a tow.

I should probably try to see what brand it has on it now, whether they are the 
factory originals or have already been replaced.

Re: [MBZ] Straight 6 gas motor 1964 Unimog Troop Carrier for Sale, $11, 500

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Is that an M110 engine? The thing probably has a top speed of about 45mph. 
Seems to be missing the interior engine cover, otherwise looks pretty original.

I'm thinking that the manager was selling cars for X+Y and embezzling 
the Y whilst putting the X on the paperwork.


My guess is that if proven, he should be charged with embezzlement and 
assessed criminal damages of Y or Y+interest.


Asking for a full refund of several years' earned wages is pie in the

 Lawsuit accuses former manager at SC Porsche dealership of taking
 bribes for cars

David Wren dw...@postandcourier.com
3–4 minutes


The owner of a Porsche automobile dealership in Charleston is suing 
its former sales manager over allegations that he required customers 
to make under-the-table payments totaling hundreds of thousands of 
dollars to secure the highly sought after vehicles they wanted to buy.


Baker Motor Co., owner of the Porsche Charleston dealership 
 on Savannah Highway in West 
Ashley, is accusing James Marino of pocketing bribes for high-demand 
cars since at least 2022, according to a lawsuit filed in Charleston 
County court 
.


Marino has not filed a response to the lawsuit, and he could not be 
reached for comment. A lawyer for Baker Motor Co. did not immediately 
respond to an email seeking further information.


Marino had been sales manager at the dealership for six years before 
being terminated in March after the alleged bribery scheme was 
discovered, according to the lawsuit.



 



The dealership "specializes in selling high-end, luxury Porsche 
automobiles," the lawsuit states, adding the vehicles "are in high 
demand, and there are often numerous potential buyers competing for 
them."


A report by Road & Track 
 
states the timeline for ordering a Porsche can be as little as three 
months, but "the waitlist for models like the 718 generation Cayman or 
even a 992 generation 911 Carrera S can be years long."


"With nearly every Porsche model in high demand, build allocations are 
highly sought after and the models that aren't spoken for upon dealer 
arrival become highly competitive assets," the magazine stated.



 



The lawsuit states that as sales manager, "Marino had the final say in 
determining which potential buyer would be allowed to purchase these 
high-demand automobiles."


Baker Motor says in court documents that Marino's actions were 
"intentional, willful, wanton, reckless and malicious." The company 
wants a judge to force Marino to repay all of the money he made from 
the alleged scheme as well as all of the wages and benefits he 
received during his time at the dealership. Baker Motor is also asking 
for unspecified punitive damages and legal fees.

 Lawsuit accuses former manager at SC Porsche dealership of taking
 bribes for cars

David Wren dw...@postandcourier.com
3–4 minutes


The owner of a Porsche automobile dealership in Charleston is suing its 
former sales manager over allegations that he required customers to make 
under-the-table payments totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to 
secure the highly sought after vehicles they wanted to buy.


Baker Motor Co., owner of the Porsche Charleston dealership 
 on Savannah Highway in West Ashley, 
is accusing James Marino of pocketing bribes for high-demand cars since 
at least 2022, according to a lawsuit filed in Charleston County court 
.


Marino has not filed a response to the lawsuit, and he could not be 
reached for comment. A lawyer for Baker Motor Co. did not immediately 
respond to an email seeking further information.


Marino had been sales manager at the dealership for six years before 
being terminated in March after the alleged bribery scheme was 
discovered, according to the lawsuit.



 



The dealership "specializes in selling high-end, luxury Porsche

FCP Euro is wanting $600 each plus $200 core charge.

Rockauto $470 no core charge.

That's a big difference to pay for the lifetime FCP warranty. Are the Arnotts

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 recall when a tornado went through just south of our first house in Indiana. 
As you drove down SR 37 you could see it’s path through the forests and fields. 
Like a lawn mower went through and just cleared a path.

And yes, tonadoes *do* sound like really loud freight trains.

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] Jetta TDI 5 speed wagon on BAT

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Same year as Angie's Golf although hers has the BEW "Pump deuce" engine and I 
think this is an older VE type. I prefer the older engine although I guess the 
BEW can make more serious power. In any case a stage 1 tune takes it to 110hp 
for about $300. Totally worth it, it's the tune the Euro engines already have 
That price is absurd, the car looks nice but not that nice... Gen 4 cars are 
getting a little hard for find but they're still around.

Re: [MBZ] Jetta TDI 5 speed wagon on BAT

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I would have been interested but not at the price it sold for. $15K for a 20 
year old VW is putting more faith in VW parts than I have.

My Jetta was leaking rain into the interior and various fluids from the engine 
by that age. It ran great, it just had a lot of minor problems with anything 
made of rubber or plastic.

Good afternoon. Here’s what you should know today, April 26:












	
		China is holding its fire as the U.S. moves to ban TikTok
	
		The thrill factor is back for retail investors
	
		“Hay” is for horses—and "hey" is for anxiety-provoking workplace communications

What to Watch






















	Menthols, marketed by brands including Newport and Kool, account for more than a third of all cigarettes sold in the U.S. annually.

	PHOTO: MARIO TAMA/GETTY IMAGES














1.
 The Biden administration is reversing course on its plan to ban menthol cigarettes.












	The decision comes after weighing the potential public-health benefits of banning minty smokes ( read for free) against the political risk of angering some Black voters in an election year. The White House said that it needs more time to consult with outside groups on the matter. Menthols account for more than a third of all cigarettes sold in the U.S. each year and are predominantly used by Black and Hispanic smokers, according to a WSJ analysis of National Survey on Drug Use and Health data. Some Black community leaders had fought the ban, saying it would expand the illicit market for cigarettes and lead police to racially profile Black smokers. The ACLU and some members of the Congressional Black Caucus expressed similar concerns.











2.
Donald Trump’s allies are drawing up plans that would attempt to erode the Fed’s independence, if the former president wins a second term.












	Some advisers argue that he should be consulted on interest-rate decisions, and a secret draft document recommends subjecting Fed regulations to White House review and more forcefully using the Treasury Department as a check on the central bank, according to people familiar with the matter. They also say some contend that Trump would have the authority to oust Jerome Powell as Fed chair before his four-year term ends in 2026, though Powell would likely remain on the central bank’s board of governors. It couldn’t be determined whether Trump is aware of or signed off on the effort, but some people close to the discussions believe he gave it his blessing. The Fed has enjoyed considerable operational autonomy in setting interest rates since the Truman administration.

3.
China’s response to the U.S.’s TikTok ban has been relatively muted.












	Beijing hasn’t vociferously defended the country’s first mobile app to break through globally, despite describing similar maneuvers as an attempt to suppress a Chinese company and an example of U.S. hypocrisy. But Beijing’s response in part reflects the view that TikTok is of less strategic value to China’s quest to become an industrial and technological powerhouse, people familiar with the matter said. China’s State Council didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who visited China this week, said that TikTok didn’t come up in his conversations with

So he probably got it for $8k, spent a grand for shipping, another grand for
