[MBZ] I'll pass on the peas.

My father-in-law has always been reluctant to talk about his wartime service. This was due to the fact that he was a POW camp guard, and in his mind not a worthy contribution to the war effort.   He's never really opened up about it at length, but we know that he guarded German prisoners

[MBZ] Failyah to communicate

Last night he bumps it, saying he's got to get it out of the driveway and he's accepting reasonable offers. I send him a PM and offer him $1800 with the offer good for 24 hours. After all, it's a $2000 car in my market No response. Something tells me I'm not going to get one. Dan

[MBZ] Car will start

I saw that he just updated the CL listing for it instead of creating a new listing.  Not a bright idea, as it will stay way, way down the list and not be current.  And he's asking $950, not $700 like he was earlier ** Thats a page from the Okie book of car salesmanship: If

[MBZ] N2 in tires -- the chemist has spoken

Dry nitrogen gas as an option to inflate premium tires (the places that have beluga caviar in the waiting rooms) is used because 1) The gas contains no moisture, and 2) 100% Nitrogen replaces oxygen in air, and oxygen decays rubber over time, thus at least extending tire life from within.

[MBZ] 170S

I have driven a 170S, and would consider them dangerous on a highway. Practically a parade car. I would love to have one, though. Dan * I understand the 170 engine was subcontracted out to Briggs Stratton and had a pull start. DBV, 40:1 oil-gas mixture information minister

[MBZ] ROM BIOS is a wirus you get when you open an email

I got a call from Ah-Poo, aka Mike who sounded like he was from the Microsoft branch office in Calcutta, warning me breathlessly that reports from their servers detected a virus (wirus) had infected my computer! If I turned control of my computer over to him, he assured me, he could clean my

[MBZ] XP Update: for real or did I get punked?

A Windows XP update popped up in the Windows toolbar in the same place where Win updates have for years. It popped up from the MS shield toolbar icon (ie, not a web ad) There were two files, which after some hesitation, I green-lit.  One was  KB972270 and a second one whose number I didn't
