37.08 with the 14.13 shipping.   Amazon's $35 is still cheaper.  When I 
saw the $23 price, I thought it was a good deal, but the 3 times cost 
shipping takes it out of the running.

Y'all are missing the whole point of this subject!  The issue is not the

bus, or aircraft, it is a universal performance booster!  It is

I think K&N filters are garbage, but they do enhance performance at the

...the turbo operates on a pressure ratio. The lower the ambient

it otherwise would.

Ah!  You are talking about rapid increase in engine RPM.  I was
referring to power output - sustained.

So, if you man "it takes longer for the turbo to build pressure"
rather than "it takes longer for the turbo to spool" - I fully
agree.


So a less restrictive filter results in faster spool. I also
found that top end performance was improved, with a higher max
rpm at max throttle. Is isn't even subtle. Taking off from a
stoplight is a different experience.

Hmm.  That doesn't match my experience with various diesel turbo
engines.  But if your experiences were otherwise, who am I to argue!

Re: [MBZ] 98 Jetta new high

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

When I was a kid maybe 10 or 11, a coupla friends and I were headed over 
to a field to play ball or something, and were waiting to cross a fairly 
busy street.  This clapped-out old brown station wagon comes by and 
BOOM! the gas tank falls off the thing, right in front of us, and skids 
along the street, sparks flying and gas sloshing out where the filler 
tube had been.  I guess the only thing, much to our disappointment, that 
kept it from blowing up was that it was full.  I don't know why the gas 
on the street didn't catch far.  The car it had been part of coasts to a 
stop, and a kinda white trash-looking woman sucking on a Pall Mall or 
Marlboro gets out and walks back to take a look at it, looks at us 
standing there gawking at this spectacle as boys of that age will do, 
and says to us, "Ah lost my gayess tank."


Yup.

Friends had a very nice looking red Pontiac - 1968 maybe? - somtime back 
in the late 1970s. The body looked fine but apparently it had issues 
underneath as the transmission mount was rusty and the tranny dropped 
onto the roadway on the way to a hockey game. They junked the car rather 
than attempt any sort of repair.

Reminds me of the first junker 190Dc I bought in 1975.   Kid had taken 
off the front calipers and let it sit with the brake system open for a 
couple years  The engine was trash, and the interior was similar to this 
126.  Evidence of being a pothead druggie, etc. Lots of "repairs" 
started but nothing finished or repaired.   His parents I bought the car 
from said he was a sewercide case a year before...From what I could 
see, it was not much loss.  I did feel somewhat sorry for the parents, 
but then they raised him, so I figgered their loss was caused in part by 
parenting failure.

[MBZ] Opera Oops!

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

"The Opera web browser recently had a security breach that hit their 
password manager, Opera Sync. Because of the breach, over 1 million 
users had their passwords leaked. If you use Opera, we suggest you 
change your passwords right now. Bookmarked pages and site histories 
may also have been leaked. Opera isn't really indicating how big the 
issue is, possibly because they themselves don't know. When a breach 
occurs, there's no way to know if every file has been viewed by the 
hacker or just the files showing evidence of the breach.


It's possible that bookmarked pages and site histories have been 
leaked; Opera isn't really indicating how big the issue is. They 
themselves may not know because there's no way to track what 
information hackers have seen. Imagine someone breaking into your home 
and leaving no trace that they'd been there.


In an attempt to keep hackers away from passwords, Opera uses a closed 
source security system, which means it doesn't allow people to view 
the encryption system. Other companies use open source coding because 
they want people to be able to find bugs and suggest improvements. 
Maybe after this incident, they will consider making a switch."


From Kim Kommando Website.

For those who believe open source is best!

Re: [MBZ] This is what meth does to one's brain

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Obviously, this is an excellent example of what not to do.  But, I am amazed at 
some of the craigslist ads I see.  They post one picture at a weird angle. Or 
the car is so far away in the picture, it could be a Mercedes or a Cadillac or 
a large cow.  Or the people that take decent photos, but they don't bother to 
pick up the trash.  It amazes me that someone goes to the trouble to try to 
sell something on the internet and doesn't at least look at other ads and try 
to copy what other people are doing.   AND spelling?  I'm astounded some of the 
people writing these ads are able to feed themselves based on the nearly 
intelligible language they use.  Remember I am a trial attorney.  I have dealt 
with a lot of stupid people, but the craigslist seller population seems to have 
an abundance of people who are incapable of expressing a cogent thought.

Reminds me of the day I parked my beloved 1977 Saab.
Straddled a woodchuck, heard a hollow 'bong' sound back by the trunk, looked in
the
mirror and saw the marmot stand up, wobble a bit, and fall down dazed or dead.

When I got home, I looked under the car, and one of the two gas tank retaining
straps was
missing, and the tank was tilted down at an angle. Must have bonked the critter
with the low end of the tank. The straps hooked onto the body at the front, and
at the back was a tensing screw in a bracket welded to the trunk floor. On the
right side, where the spare tire sat, there was a rust hole and no tank holding
bracket. And I never drove the Belgian Rust Bucket again. (in the mid 1970s,
every rally replica and sunroof car was made in Belgium, and they were a lot
rustier than the cars made in Sweden. Made me wonder if bare metal body parts
were stamped in Sweden and ocean-shipped to Belgium)

Re: [MBZ] 606 non turbo egr valve

[clay via Mercedes]

I hit the Cannuck club show and shine this weekend.  Diverse group.  Old white 
guys and younger asian guys.  No dames with star cars.  Old guys had old cars, 
but for the sugar daddy with the gull wing SLS.  Asians, as a group had the 
flashier newer cars that you can spiff up with tint, audio, rims, weird furry 
seats cover animals.  No great shakes all around, polite, but you could see 
there was no future for the current market of cars becoming collected or driven 
once the electronics crap out.

Down the street was the PNW Japanese Auto agglomeration.  Must have been a few 
hundred cars from far and wide there.  From the tiny early roller skate sort to 
the thumping, booming, neon endowed cars.  The bulk of the classic jap cars 
looked to be in top condition and not rat rods.  Must be the sheer volume of 
cars out there that you could find parts to keep them on the road.  Some of 
these things were probably not much more complex than lawn mowers anyway, so 
most idiots could work on them.  Much like the VW Bugs of old.

Coming back home, the roads were packed with Priapus’.  Those are the current 
bug, just no future in keeping them on the road.  Too complex and expensive to 
bother

You seem to be applying your great plains/midwestern middle and upper class 
standards to a cross section of Americas population. The values that you 
consider important; facility with a camera (visual competence), neatness, 
cleanliness, deductive reasoning ability, literary competence, education level, 
and upper IQ level; aren't common characteristics of the majority.
However, the question of why "average" people buy used luxury cars instead of 
less complicated and more sensible cars, still remains. Are they trying to 
compensate for their perceived deficiencies?
