Re: [MBZ] Merry Holiday, just divested myself of used MB parts
The Democrats represent the very poor; and the Republicans represent the very rich; but who represents those of us who work hard, live conservatively, and save our money; i.e. the middle class? Gerry BZZT! Demo-ists (demaoists) say they represent the poor, but the donors are city rich, oil/powerrich and hollyweirdrich. They represent the rich and want to use the rich money to buy indigent wetback voters to stay in power because they know nobody wants their platform. Their other objective is to keep as many sheeple as possible dumb, mis-educated, and more interested it sports, cardassians, or startrek/starwars/drwho/drphil so they will keep the Demaoists in power. The Democrat party died with Kennedy. The Rsocialists are out to get rid of the loyal supporters, unless they are eastern rich or oil/powerrich. The middle class keeps insisting the Rsocialist represent them. Rsocialists want nothing to do with normal people. The answer to your question of who represents those of us who work hard, live conservatively, and save our money; i.e. the middle class? is: NOBODY Unless WE elect a constituationalist, or make the constitution party real. Both R and D are scared shi**less about Trump, Cruz, Carson and probably Carly.

Re: [MBZ] Merry Holiday, just divested myself of used MB parts
I don't see that either party represents either the rich or the poor, but do a grand job of feathering their own nests. Seems to me, we no longer have representatives in anything but name only. Good cause is shown that they are all "owned" by some lobby group or criminal gang under the color of some fake cause or name. If you had something in your home that stunk as bad as congress, you would try to flush it, or call the HAZMAT people... Just saying..

Re: [MBZ] Merry Holiday, just divested myself of used MB parts
With more than a year to swearing in the next president [unless BHO treason trial starts early] there are many opportunities to failure of ALL the hopefuls. However, the Presidential marathon has begun, there is talent in the race, some with staying power. Hillary doesn't have the numbers to make it.. and will likely skate on criminal charges as long as BHO is president.. Bernie is unlikely, and who is the other guy? Republican field of over crowded and will be boned down soon. Jeb, I predict, will jump to Democrat, before it's over. Trump/Cruze are now the likely ticket. That may change, but the momentum and political traction becomes more established each day, for now. The tides of politics can change quickly, voters are a fickle lot. However, the tone of politics for this election has been changed forever, mostly by Trump setting a completely different level of focus.. He terrifies some, energizes others.. at this point.. the energize side is gaining faster than the terrify side. Nothing is cast in stone well, except death and taxes.. and we all have had to much of both.. regardless of political persuasion.

Blower motor is fairly easy on these. Remove wiper arm by taking out the pinch bolt and sliding off. Please be careful not to slam something into the windshield. Pull trim at base of windshield off.

Pull seal off inner firewall, then remove the screws and finger grip knobs to allow you to remove the side tray drains (may have to do the next step first though).

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts
My lift has safety interlocks ever 4 inches that click into place as the lift goes up. If anything fails it can't drop more than 4 inches. You have to release the safety locks to lower the lift. The "chains" are multi layer links rated for way more than the lift is, so I feel pretty safe walking under a vehicle. However, the rule in my shop is.. never place a body part you want to keep between what ever can fall and the ground, so the sign reads: SAFETY FIRST - STUPID SECOND On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 10:32 AM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Screw drive too.
