Re: [MBZ] why america is finished (pizza, not mercedes)
a nice place in Vancouver called Smokey's, don't know if it's still there or if it's any good. It's still there. We went there with my sister-in-law, a Smokey's girl, over a year ago, and she didn't think it was as good as it once was. She had always thought it was better than Chico's, but has since become a Chico's convert. They found Chico's about 8 years ago while traveling (it was the only place open in the area at 8:00 PM). The Super Deli (combo pizza with just about every meat topping possible) is our favorite, but we like everything on our pizzas.

Re: [MBZ] why america is finished (pizza, not mercedes)
I remember those days. We called the pages door sheets. These days everything is run by computer. I reach into each store server through a static VPN connection and pull all of the store's performance data into a SQL database then I process any reports they may need. The largest franchise I work with has 32 stores and several of my SQL tables are approaching 2 million records. Most everything I do is automated including the polling process. The Corporate side of things has also gone hi tech. If you order a pizza online, you can actually watch your order process through the store. The Dominos web site has a bar that fills left to right as your order progresses all the way through delivery.

Re: [MBZ] You asked for it
Happened to me just today. Driving along, behind a woman in the passing lane going under the limit to boot. Sees a temp tax station set up on the other side of the street and with nothing in front of her, hits the brakes! I lay on the horn, and all the cops look over from the other side of the street. Was pretty funny. It would be interesting to know, and I'm sure it's never been looked into, if setting up such traps to catch ppl creates a greater danger than the so called offense of "speeding", what with cops running out into the middle of traffic to wave ppl over, and the cars behind trying to figure out why the sudden deceleration and then hitting the brakes themselves, not to mention now bringing traffic to a stand still in one lane that was previously flowing. Nothing spells frustration like two lanes attempting to merging into one. I won't even mention some of the near disasters I've seen after watching ppl trying to merge back into flowing traffic from the shoulder of a highway after getting a ticket. If cops are after easy money, and really want to do something to protect ppl, just set up shop beside any crosswalk. My best bud is an ER doctor and tells me 90% of ppl hit by cars are hit at crosswalks. I've yet to see a cop at a crosswalk in the city, ever! I'll now return to the inside lane and play some soft classical music. :-) Ed 300E On 31/01/2008, Robert Rentfro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think my all time driving one is when people are bombing along at the > speed limit on either the freeway or on a street and they slow way down > simply because John Law is visible somewhere.

Re: [MBZ] why america is finished (pizza, not mercedes)
"Back office database" that's pretty funny. When I worked there we wrote all the orders on 4 ply forms -- the red copy went to the make line, the yellow copy was for the driver and the white copy was glued to the box. Totaled it up at the end of the night with an adding machine, which aside from the telephone switch was the only piece of electronic technology on the premises. Heaven forbid if you lost a sheet of blank forms -- the franchise office would charge you $100 per sheet.

Re: [MBZ] OT Taking a Poll on Tailgating - Not a Rant
Here in Alabama there are no laws requiring drivers to stay right and I'm as likely to pass on the right as on the left. Thanks, Tom 256-656-1924 -Original Message- From: "Allan Streib" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Sent: 1/31/08 9:09 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT Taking a Poll on Tailgating - Not a Rant Was not trying to condone tailgating, I guess my point is that when you get into a pissing match on the expressway eventually someone is going to end up hurt or dead. I stand by my position though that if you are impeding traffic in the left lane you should move right. You are not there to enforce the speed limits (unless you happen to be a law enforcement officer). Sudden braking in the left lane, moving right to thwart a pass on the right after you've already blocked the other driver to the left to "teach a tailgater a lesson" is as childish as the tailgating, and is escalating the situation. I've been in a car with a friend who was pulled by a state trooper for driving in the left lane. The left lane is for passing, and he was not passing, he was just driving there. The cop approached from the rear, my friend did not move right and though he was not driving under the limit he was pulled over. You cannot lollygag in the left lane and you cannot drive there pacing the traffic to the right. "Slower traffic keep right" is what the signs say. Speeding is a separate and unrelated offense, as is tailgating. Allan On Jan 31, 2008, at 9:33 PM, Richard Smith wrote: > Actually Alan anyone who tailgates is the one who is childish.

Re: [MBZ] You asked for it
I'm gonna join in this nebulous thread by indulging myself in a small pet-peeve share. Hmmm, which one to share? Oh okay, here: At a four way stop (or a three way stop) I wish folks would really just know the law and follow it. Things would be so simple, and so much time saved. Instead, most seem to want to play the eye contact and wave-on game. Call me antisocial (I am) but I am not required to interact on that level with other drivers. I am required to follow the law. I love it when I don't make eye contact at a four-way, and the other driver, so convinced that eye contact is the law, all but refuses to go, even though they were clearly there first. Given enough time, I'll pull my keys out of the ignition and show them to the indignant driver. Brian On Jan 31, 2008 7:39 AM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] OT Taking a Poll on Tailgating - Not a Rant
People from CA have a bad habit of driving in the left lane while doing at or just below the speed limit. I will sometimes come up right behind them and tailgate them in an effort to get them to get the heck in the right lane. I don't flash my lightthis isn't the Autobahn.

You also have the legal right to flip off other drivers it doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. Staying in the fast lane and not overtaking a vehicle when you have a string of cars behind you is extremely rude and liable to incite road rage in other drivers. It is better for everyone involved if the person holding up traffic in the fast lane slows down/speeds up to get around the vehicle they are passing. > To me it sounds like Luther is just being a good parent and > attempting to teach an immature childish driver a lesson in behaving > safe and respectful.

Slamming on the brakes for no apparent reason is highly dangerous with a tailgater... what happens if they can't stop in time, hit you on a corner, and throw you underneath that semi you're riding next to? Then they go flying across the median into oncoming traffic. Quite a lesson if you ask me. Especially for the innocent bystanders.

Re: [MBZ] OT - tools to work on a Mercedes or four
The impact provides the needed torque to break the nut or bolt, then backs it out very fast. Same working action as a half inch impact wrench used at tire shops, but considerably less torque. The size makes it very easy and comfortable to use one handed. Strong enough to pull head nuts off, but not strong enough to pull lug nuts off. Mechanic friend of mine turned me on to them when I used to help him rebuild VW air cooled engines on weekend. Seriously speeds up tearing an engine down to line boar.

Actually Alan anyone who tailgates is the one who is childish. The one who initiates the tailgating is the one who is the aggressor. The person in front always has the right of way in any state in the USA. If they want to slow down and run along beside the car in the right lane then they are well within the law to do so, but following to close is a crime in every state.

Re: [MBZ] OT - tools to work on a Mercedes or four
That's the procedure they use for testing Scuba cylinders. It's called a Hydrostatic test. Immerse the cylinder in water and measure the additional displacement when the tank is pressurized as a test of the expansion properties of the metal. Old metal becomes brittle and does not expand as easily. They over pressurize the tank in the process to see if it bursts. They pressurize with water because it contracts less under pressure so that when a tank bursts, the damage to the test rig from the sudden release of pressure is minimal. -Dave Walton On Jan 31, 2008 10:59 AM, R A Bennell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My old compressor had a date stamp on the tank of 1947.

Re: [MBZ] why america is finished (pizza, not mercedes)
I actually have a long relationship with Dominos - 24 years to be exact. These days I develop back office databases for a few of the larger and better franchises. If you are fortunate enough to be served by a well run franchise, you'll get great Dominos pizza. If you aren't, then they can deliver a pretty lousy product. I can tell you that every Dominos store starts with top quality ingredients from the dough all the way through the black olives - the rest is up to the franchise. And they don't use corn syrup as a sauce filler like their nearest competitor (Poppa Johns) does! What's my favorite pizza? Chicago style - but only in Chicago & eaten at a local pizza store!

Re: [MBZ] why america is finished (pizza, not mercedes)
what do most americans eat for pizza? Most of the pizza available near me is either Pizza Hut, Dominoes or others trying to immitate them. There's also Round Table which is better, but it doesn't do anything for my pizza craving other than to remind me that I need some REAL PIZZA! . There's a place on the southern Washington coast (Long Beach) called Chico's Pizza that makes their pizzas with all fresh ingredients piled high atop a reasonably thin and crunchy crust.

Re: [MBZ] OT Taking a Poll on Tailgating - Not a Rant
A lot of people have no idea of the requirements of a truck and think it is just like a car. Happened to me a couple of times, leave enough room so I can safely and efficiently bring the truck to a stop and some turd in a little buzz box jumps into that space, all of a sudden a relaxed stopping maneuverer turns into a frenzied maximum braking effort. The stupid part is that idiots would not even know that they done anything wrong but think that I was a cowboy truck driver hell bent on trying to scare the brown stuff out of them, when I just managed to bring the truck to a stop a couple of feet off their rear end. Luckily most of the driving I did was out in the bush away from the yuppies and their mobile phones. Of course if you ever rear ended one of these clowns guess who is going to be in the poo for not leaving enough distance.

Re: [MBZ] 2008 Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI Test Drive: Torque-Rich Euro Diesel Scores 41 MPG
I think the original rant was about the exchange rate of Euro vs dollar. I know back in 97 we went to the UK and then the exchange rate was 33 pence to the Oz. Problem is that people in the UK get paid in pounds pretty much the same as what we get paid in Oz $'s. Say $30,000 is the average wage, that means that when we get to the UK we got 10,000 pounds compared to the average wage over there of 30,000pounds. I think fuel is about 1.5 pounds per litre, which is $4.50/liter to us but to a pom it is only 1.50. That's where we get screwed However yes fuel is taxed a bit more in Euro land.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes question
There are only certain ones that have the chain, and they are considerably more expensive than the plain rubber ones. I think they were used primarily on the 107 chassis, for some reason. I just know my dealer parts guy knew the distinction and would steer me to the "regular" ones if I needed one. As for the constant breakage, I agree with Tom. There is something amiss in the system if they're all breaking on a regular basis. Otherwise, you're buying cheap knock-off ones that are made more of carbon black than rubber. Ask me about Karmann Ghia chassis rubber and seals some time and I can tell you an amazing story...

Well I get 2-300 a day from okiebenz and related stuff, I am on just about every other mb list (well, there are 2 others). The main other traffic list is the hitler list, but like I said I just skim thru it. Even it does not usually get near the traffic we get here.

Re: [MBZ] You asked for it
I was going to comment on that the other night, but didn't get around to it. You're right, for most trips, if you want to save time, it has to be over somewhat of a distance, and you really have to put your foot down. If you do the math, driving an hour at 70 mph, or upping it to 80 mph doesn't make much difference. Having said that, I'm not one who thinks speed is evil, and I'll do it whenever the conditions allow, just for the pleasure it brings. Some like to cruise, some like to fly. If we all keep our eyes open, off the phones and keep to the correct lanes, there's room on the roads for everyone. :-) Ed 300E On 31/01/2008, LWB250 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > While I would say that most of the drivers around here > are pretty decent, it's the ones who are too busy > yakking on the phone, texting, etc., that piss me off. > These are the ones who usually creep into your lane > then whip back over when you tap your horn. > > As a biker and driver, I always have my 3 second (or > more) cushion in front, and rarely if ever exceed the > speed limit.

Re: [MBZ] OT Taking a Poll on Tailgating - Not a Rant
You have to be careful playing those games at speed. A guy who wants to get past, always will in the end, and then, if he decides it's pay back time, things can get ugly. Before pulling out to pass, I always have a good look, to see what's coming up. Regardless of how fast I'm going, before I pull out, if I see a guy closing at a higher rate than me, I give them right of way to overtake first. When I overtake I tend to do it with some speed differential. I'm not one to creep past a car in the right lane. I read a great book years ago by Stirling Moss, which he wrote in the 50's I think, but still a lot of stuff that can be applied today. eg, when over taking a car on a two lane country road, back off a little, and have a run at the car you're overtaking, so as to pass quickly and reduce the time you're exposed to oncoming traffic. Simple common sense stuff, but how often have we seen someone pull out to pass on a two lane, only to see them trying to overtake too many cars at once, and then see them run out of time? The slower your car, the more you have to plan ahead. Often, speed and power are your best friend. ;-) When done right, driving is still a beautiful form of art.

Re: [MBZ] You asked for it
While I would say that most of the drivers around here are pretty decent, it's the ones who are too busy yakking on the phone, texting, etc., that piss me off. These are the ones who usually creep into your lane then whip back over when you tap your horn. As a biker and driver, I always have my 3 second (or more) cushion in front, and rarely if ever exceed the speed limit. Yeah, to some people it's a PITA, but if they ever sat down to do the math the 5 or 10 miles above the limit they want to do doesn't save them a significant amount of time, and increases the likelihood of an accident. When I'm on my bike I'm especially careful.

Kinda makes you cry when a nice 1994-95 W124 is cheaper than a rice burner, don't it.

To add to the lunacy, there's a guy here on Craigslist selling a fairly well taken care of 127K miles 1994 E420 for $4000 while some goober wants $2500 for a "biodiesel ready" 1983 300D with 330K miles and a bad transmission.
