Fair point, but I think you're talking more like about 12 for that car.

W126 has a 30 gal. tank. My brother got 28 mpg on the highway with his SDL, so
had enormous range. At 14, about 400 miles or so, which isn't too bad.

Places that have Amish folks around will find metal roofing to be much
cheaper. When I was looking to have our house done (no Amish here) the price
was 100% more than architectural.
My aunt and uncle had metal put on my grandmother's house up north, the Amish
did the job and that 2 story big

I put metal shingles on my roof a few years back. Screw down to the decking,
and it's quieter than asphalt shingles due to the air space under the metal.
50 year warrenty, I won't be around to fool with it then, even if I live as
long as Mom did (97).
Metal is the way to go.
I used copper in small quantities on my garage for the drip cap over doors and
windows and for the eave returns. The eave returns I fabricated myself and
soldered the corners. Overall a few hundred dollar investment in sheet copper
and I still have some leftover.
I did a copper standing seam
What brand and type?

I forgot about slate. I should have remembered that one, as nearly all the
original homes built in the village of Kohler, WI, had slate roofs. Very
durable, but very expensive to repair if damaged, and not a lot of qualified
contractors to service them, either.
The steel roofs I’ve seen around
Yeah, these houses all have slate roofs and copper flashing and gutters. $

People seem to get 20 on the freeway on the forums but honestly I don't
think I have ever calculated the mileage on any of my cars. I am glad I
drove the wagon during residency when I did not have a lot of cash; it was

I rarely gave mine that. Only in hot weather does it really
seem to make a difference. Typically I got maybe 17mpg,
would crest 20 on optimal trips.
Electronics is a weak point, particularly things like cruise control
and HVAC. Vacuum pods don't last
Copper is also used for roofing, primarily on historic houses. It's considered
a 100 year roof where I think slate is a 150 year roof. Absurdly expensive
though.

Someone came and measured up my house for all the metal roofing and it
showed up in various crates of pieces the right lengths. If I recall
they cut all the angles on site.
I did a shed roof with a friend, we gave the outfit the dimensions of
the roof and they rolled and cut the pieces, guy
My formerly owned 1940 colonial in D.C. still has its original slate roof,
which had some minor repairs over the decades but will basically last
forever.

Yes that is an option. It would probably decrease glare also if you choose
a reflective color and have houses above you to complain.
Honestly I cannot detect any visual damage on my parents' roof, and it sees
serious hail. Insurance gave them replacement cost. You may also wish to
check and
The 560SEC got fairly abysmal fuel mileage on premium, not that I cared

We did metal a few years ago. Pricey but probably good for resale and you
just don't think about it after it is on.
The guys measured our existing roof carefully then the panels were all done
at the factory.
There is more work than you think. There is underlayment which is the water
barrier,
They should roll a golf-ball-type surface pattern in, then hail damage
couldn't even be noticed. Might even help with sudden snow unloading.
I was going to put metal on the wood pavilion, but the roof didn't end up
square enough due to my sloppy pole construction. So it got 3-tab instead.

Tesla sells solar shingles. Those are going on the roof of my dream house.

So somebody bought it for $8k and has been trying to flip it for double
that for two years now?
And reserve isn't met at $12k?

Well I checked out the 5400 dollar 560 sel. It is honestly pretty straight
but someone did a crappy repaint so the clear is flaking off in places, the
accumulators are done, and it is leaking either power steering fluid or sls
fluid down the front and on the steering knuckle. But it has good power
It was for sale locally a couple of years ago for $8k. I have seen it
on CL and FB every since for various high prices. It has been on Copart
tulsa several times. It is now listed on Copart springfield.
