Spring break is a term used to justify a vacation regardless of whether there is a religious holiday.

Re: [MBZ] 123 prices
Ok let me know how much and where to send it. Not like I will ever use it here, but I have already had the car for 20 years so it may well be around for another 20. It takes the kids and dog to school and violin and the park and that's about it. Gas pedal fell off the floor the other day so need to weld in a floor pan patch I guess. The water from the AC drain and snow used to collect in the heel well and it rusted through. I figure one of the boys can take it to college somewhere. Still only about 207k I think. Good Yom Kippur to any of you observing it. Schools are shut down here today - even the Public and Catholic ones.

Re: [MBZ] 123 prices
The first winter I commuted with my '83 240D we had a run of 0F daytime highs. I would go out and start the car at lunch and run it around a little to keep heat in the engine so it would start after work. That was with M1 0w40 in it. With 15w40 conventional I couldn't get it to start reliably below zero without the block heater. -Curt On Thursday, September 16, 2021, 11:52:24 AM EDT, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: I figured that out quickly as well. I had a piece of cardboard designated for the radiator on that car that cut off about half of the radiator area. That gave me reasonable engine temperatures in often sub zero ambients.

Re: [MBZ] 123 prices
Mine was in a garage, but I didn’t have the heat on (in the garage) during the week. The garage was insulated, but I only ran the heat when I was working in it. This was on a 1979 300TD, so it took FOREVER to heat up in Wisconsin winters. Having a block heater not only made it start better, as you described, but I would have cabin heat almost instantaneously and throughout my 30 mile highway commute to work. Because there was minimal traffic on the highway I was able to run at speed (65 mph) after a few miles of spooling up, but when the ambient was 20F or below the engine struggled to maintain operating temperature. -D On Sep 16, 2021, at 10:48 AM, Curt Raymond mailto:curtlud...@yahoo.com>> wrote: Geez I loved having a timed block heater.

Re: [MBZ] 123 prices
The one I saw only concluded that a Mercedes diesel was less environmentally damaging than an EV. I didn't see that it was "least damaging". I would expect a little diesel crapbox like they sell in the rest of the world. The problem with an MB is always going to be weight.

You have to look at the total energy cycle - all of it used to manufacture those wind generators, solar panels, nuclear plants (probably the best option, if thorium based), the batteries, all those silicon chipsand the rest of the car.

Re: [MBZ] 123 prices
Keeping your '83 240D on the road for nearly 40 years as an alternative to the environmental impact of producing the 6 or 8 (or more) cars most people would own in that span of time is probably more "green" that driving a new EV.

Re: [MBZ] 123 prices
One time I was headed to the airport in Boston and running a little late. The first row of parking spaces at BOS were "Green vehicle parking". I'm sure they meant "electric vehicle parking" but I was in a hurry. I took a scrap of paper, scribbled "Bio" and stuck it on the "diesel" badge on my '83 240D. When I got back parking enforcement had left a nice note "Very funny, don't try it again." -Curt On Sunday, September 12, 2021, 04:03:49 PM EDT, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: My 300td with the block heater has an electric cord dangling down beneath the radiator.

Re: [MBZ] 123 prices
You might be right, it looks like pickup truck prices have recently taken a big dump. 2 months ago everything in the 3-4 year old range was $30,000+, there was nothing at all in the $15-$20k range and not much sub $15k.Now there are a lot more trucks, I see some 2017 stuff under $30k. I might be able to replace my current rust bucket before the bed falls off. -Curt On Sunday, September 12, 2021, 01:34:54 PM EDT, Rick Knoble via Mercedes wrote: All the government stimmy bux are gone We will be seeing a LOT of stuff at fire sale prices, very soon (six months or less).
