Oh so true.  Big uproar over one.  BIG silence over the other.

Double standard?  Hypocrites?  Why the disparity?

so all the west coast and it seems a good part of the country is all 
atwitter that this stanford kid got a light sentence.


Meanwhile, a serial rapist walks free, delivering "speeches" so 
memorable nobody records them, and rakes in millions for selling state 
secrets, with his dear wifey, hands out millions of taxpayer dollars, of 
which about 30% are paid to him, and outside of a couple guys on the 
radio, nothing is said.  No demand that he be prosecuted from the 
"caring" public, no arrest, nobody atwitter, only crickets.

Re: [MBZ] Sand blasting


You can turn off the micafone in the setup menu, I did that.

The instructions (and the other user "manual") alludes to the GPS input 
but no details on how it might work.


The keep back 500ft from dumb trucks is BS, has no liability protection.

pertinent to the event it might play well in court..

It's your decision. From my recent experience.. I suggest you take extra
care to ensure the time/date stamp is correct.. and, the camera has a place
to plug in GPS input.. so if you have a GPS, it can overlay exact location,
speed, etc.. [again.. it could hang you in court as well as save you, you
decide].

Good luck, and safe motoring..

Should have had this in SWMBO's car last night.  If we like it, I'll
probably get a second for The White Whale.

Called The Authorities today about the damage from the truck's load raining
onto the car, and basically we are up the creek as far as pursing a police
report and insurance claim.  The officer I spoke with this afternoon said
the best thing would be to see if DMV will run the license and provide the
registered owner, then pursue them in small claims court.  He said some
trucking companies (especially the local guys) will settle immediately and
write a check, but that is not too common.

The State Police have an automatic license plate reader system, that may
have captured the trucks plates / time / location, so if we can get that
record, more evidence for a court case.  State DOT also has various traffic
cams around, they may have footage as well.  Would be nice to show our car
in position behind the truck with turn signal on trying to get out and pass
but being blocked and held in place behind the truck by heavy traffic in
the right lane.

June 10, 2016 at 9:54 PMvia Postbox 

Today I was driving on I-95 in SC and NC and there were 3 or 4 
incidents where I am tooling along in the left lane at 75, passing a 
truck or something, and some car comes up VERY fast behind me and gets 
right on my bumper until I complete my pass and move over.  Also a 
couple where I have moved left to pass, one comes up fast behind me, 
switches to the right lane and passes me then cuts right () in 
front of me to pass the other vehicle too, speeds of 75-80.  That 
scared me more than the idiot riding my bumper as one small swipe on 
my RF fender would send us both cartwheeling and likely kill us and 
whoever else happens to be in the vicinity.  I had the cam running, I 
should probably download the trip just to have that to review.  That 
was some scary times.

and that the perp had a long OWI record, and that one poor guy was

The list of charges is particularly interesting.   no info yet on if

blasting her on purpose, as he passed her and then the attack began, and she 
was trapped by heavy traffic and couldn't move into the left lane to pass.  
Apparently she didn't consider or didn't feel safe slowing down to let the 
truck pull away.

My biggest complaint at present is the system has been converted to R134a 
and performs OK at speed, but if you come to a stop and are idling it’s 
not efficient and the vent temperatures drop off noticeably. The system is 
charged with the correct amount of R134a and the pressures are correct for

Re: [MBZ] Sand blasting

Here, all dump truck loads must be tarp covered. Most of them now have
signs on the back that say "Stay back 500 ft." also.

Arizona used to be the land of construction [pre 2008 housing crash] and
held the record for broken windshields and damage from debris blowing /

Re: [MBZ] Sand blasting

Once you receive the camera, you will find there is a focus feature that
lets you easily zoom in close focus and read and record license plate
details.

Also.. remember there is a microphone built into the camera.. it records
anything spoken. So be careful what you say on cam [ I'm gonna kill
that s@)#($*$%*%
might not play well in court]. However if you make verbal comments that are

It's your decision. From my recent experience.. I suggest you take extra

to plug in GPS input.. so if you have a GPS, it can overlay exact location,
speed, etc.. [again.. it could hang you in court as well as save you, you

Re: [MBZ] Alternative Refrigerants?

Reading the Enviro-Safe instructions, looks like a smaller charge is
required compared to R134a.  I'd go slow with charging, measuring the vent
temperatures, until I was getting about 40 deg F or so (but don't go too
much lower or risk freezing up the evaporator).

I've got a few cans that I plan to install in The White Whale, just need to
get a round tuit and I'll be all set.

[MBZ] Alternative Refrigerants?

Considering changing the 350SDL over to a hydrocarbon refrigerant.  Freeze 12 
apparently is no longer made or available.  Enviro-Safe looks to be the main 
contender in the market.  Are there others?

Any caveats to be aware of using a “test” refrigerant?

My biggest complaint at present is the system has been converted to R134a and 
performs OK at speed, but if you come to a stop and are idling it’s not 
efficient and the vent temperatures drop off noticeably. The system is charged 
with the correct amount of R134a and the pressures are correct for that 
refrigerant.  Personally, I don’t think the (original) condenser is big enough 
or the correct type for the system.

Inside Higher Education reported

that Laureate Education paid Bill Clinton an obscene $16.5 million
between 2010 and 2014 to serve as an honorary chancellor for Laureate
International Universities. While Bill Clinton worked as the group’s
pitchman, the State Department funneled $55 million to Laureate when
Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. That would seem a pretty major
story but virtually no mainstream media outlet has reported it while
running hundreds of stories on the Trump University scandal.

Bloomberg backs up the 16.5 mil payments to Bill Clinton.

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-07-31/hillary-and-bill-clinton-paid-43-million-in-federal-taxes

MSM has been silent on the State Department's alleged $55 mil, as far
as I can see.

If it's real, like the Holder-Obama Fast and Furious "guns for
Sinaloa Cartel" scheme, it'll be relegated to the blogosphere until
the story becomes too big to ignore, then the MSM will trot out the
tired excuses.

Re: [MBZ] OT knead sum advise

You are pretty much correct but this is his deal now so he can figure it 
out.  The key issue is he just doesn't want to screw with a car so 
something newer will probably be less of a headache.  One hopes.

Interestingly enough residents' salaries are pretty decent now (as 
opposed to when my wife went through that), and he lives pretty cheaply 
so he has run the numbers for what he is comfortable with and continues 
to be focused on paying down his loans so that is good.

Re: [MBZ] 1990 300D - SOLD!

Thanks, Kevin.

I don’t think it would have been a money pit, per se, as most of what it needed 
was little stuff.  Granted, the little stuff can add up quickly, but to sort 
out the windows, radio and seat adjusters would have probably taken a couple 
hundred bucks, tops.

I was more concerned about the integrity of the engine.  It was wonky enough as 
far as the cooling system and things that were going on there that I had no 
confidence whatsoever in its longevity.  Since I was looking for something I 
could sort out and give to my oldest son for reliable transportation I just 
wasn’t comfortable in that regard, so I felt it was best to pass it along to 
the next owner.

Maybe it is fine, maybe not.  I didn’t want to roll the dice to find out.  Had 
I not been in a hurry and done my due diligence when I inspected the car I 
wouldn’t have bought it in the first place.  Hence, lesson learned.

Rich inquires:

The boy wants a "new" car.  I'm thinking a small-mid-sized SUV A/4WD

given he is in a northern climate and it would be roomier than a 
little

car.

Thoughts?

I recently rented a Jeep Compass, and a Hyundai Santa Fe.

The Jeep was uncomfortable on a long trip.

The Hyundai was an exceptionally good appliance.
Quite comfortable. Great fuel mileage. I would
recommend it, if one is looking for a smaller SUV
type appliance.

[MBZ] 1990 300D - SOLD!

Sold the 1990 300D.  Just too many questions regarding the integrity of the 
engine.  Bought for $650, put oil, filter and fuel filters on it, sold it for 
$800 to the first CL buyer who showed up.

Can’t say I made money, but I probably broke even.  Lesson learned.  Just glad 
I was able to get rid of it.

I’m done with project cars for the oldest boy for now.  Going to focus on some 
stuff with the 350SDL before I take on any (new) major projects.

Re: [MBZ] OT knead sum advise

2016-06-11 Thread Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes

I've been a doctor for about 18 years now and I drove a Volvo 240 wagon for
the first few years, and an 85 300td since then. Paid cash for both of
them. Not sure which was the better car, actually.

No way would I put someone on a resident salary or paying medical school
tuition into a car payment. That's unwise. Getting out from under the
mandatory educational debt is hard enough without adding gratuitous debt
unnecessarily, especially if he sets up shop in any major metro area
eventually. Save the cash for a condo or house downpayment, and buy him a
lightly used plain jane Nissan sentra with a 5 speed.

 I didn't hate it. The Sante Fe had an adjustable
 lumbar support, which made it WAY more pleasant
 to drive for 14 hours.
 Both cars were "twitchy", meaning they have fast steering ratios.
 The Jeep had superior electronics, streaming bluetooth
 in that car was very easy and worked exceptionally well.
 The Hyundai was a little buggy, in that regard.

 Thanks.  He went to the local Carmax and looked at a variety of SUVs.
 He
 rated them all on a list (how organized is that?) and liked the Hunda
 CRV
 the best, but also liked the Nissan Pathfinder which is a bit larger
 and a
 bit more $$.  I was suggesting the Nissan, just for the larger mass and
 safety.  I saw a CRV yesterday morning, never paid much attention to
 them,
 it was nice but looked small.  He looked at the hundays too, was not
 totally impressed compared to the others.  I recall renting one some
 years
 ago, thought it was OK too.  He also liked some Fords, interesting.

 I'm going to look at some of them around here, try to find a suthrun car

Re: [MBZ] Starting Wilton's wrecked 124 300D

With car-part.com you can often get a starter or alt for close to the 
u-pull price, but don't need to waste your time and the part is 
delivered to your door.  Since for your plan you will need a starter 
anyway, if the original can't be resurrected, you will need another starter.

That's a thought. I'm thinking about a visit to local LKQ to see if I can
get a compatible starter, which I could then keep as a spare.

Long term plan for the engine / drivetrain is transplant into a '95 124
wagon, replacing the gasser with a real engine.

If the starter is fubar, you might try car-part.com for a used one.  I 
got one there for $25.  To me, that is  cheap enough that i would not

I'm going to try Kaleb's idea first, and try jumping it directly from the
battery, see if it will spin with no solenoid engagement and then see if
12.5 VDC directly to the solenoid will kick it over.

If that fails, then I'll pull the starter, take it apart and see what's
going on.  Maybe it can be revived.

Inside Higher Education reported that Laureate Education paid Bill Clinton an obscene $16.5 million between 2010 and 2014 to serve as an honorary chancellor for Laureate International Universities. While Bill Clinton worked as the group’s pitchman, the State Department funneled $55 million to Laureate when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. That would seem a pretty major story but virtually no mainstream media outlet has reported it while running hundreds of stories on the Trump University scandal.Bloomberg backs up the 16.5 mil payments to Bill Clinton.http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-07-31/hillary-and-bill-clinton-paid-43-million-in-federal-taxesMSM has been silent on the State Department's alleged $55 mil, as far as I can see. If it's real, like the Holder-Obama Fast and Furious  "guns for Sinaloa Cartel" scheme, it'll be relegated to the blogosphere until the story becomes too big to ignore, then the MSM will trot out the tired excuses.
