Re: [MBZ] OT: VW 2012 PASSAT RIP

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

I bought a1983 Subaru Wagon off of the showroom floor from Evan Mecham
(Google him sometime...another AZ whack-job). I was by far the best
non-German car I've ever had. It shared the garage with my '68 280 SE.
Ahhh...those were the gays.

Re: [MBZ] Jill the felon

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

So I have this buddy in Houston who has a good friend (was his college 
roommate) who made a huge pile of money in trading oil futures or some 
such.  Not Soros kind of money but enough to be in the club.  (I met 
this guy once, very quiet and humble guy, very nice.)  This guy has a 
house in the Hamptons, apparently next door to Soros and Roger Waters, 
or right in the same address range.  My buddy goes up every summer for a 
coupla days to visit the friend. The friend has a big lawn party and a 
dinner party another night, invites the various swells in the 'hood.  So 
my buddy has had dinner with Soros and Waters a few times, he says Soros 
always shows up with a comely young "niece."  He says Waters is a pretty 
crazy guy, one evening after much food, drink, and mirth, he invites my 
buddy to go to Rio with him, like right now.  He calls up his pilot and 
says wheels up in an hour, we're going to Rio. My buddy had to decline 
due to prior obligations (and the concern about getting stranded in Rio 
with this crazy guy).  Various other notables also attend these affairs, 
but he finds Soros to be the most intriguing -- completely amoral.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Insurance

[clay via Mercedes]

It is pretty good so far for me.  I do not drive that far or often.  Keep it 
locked up, and have yet to need to file a claim.  Agreed value is multiples of 
what normal insurance was, but less than half the cost.  Restrictions on who 
can drive it and what you can do with it.  No commercial usage, but you can do 
club sanctioned events and driving things

[MBZ] OT: VW 2012 PASSAT RIP

[OK Don via Mercedes]

We're nearing the end of the VW Diesel-gate buy back process, and now have
the Subaru Legacy that's replacing it, so I thought it was time to add up a
few numbers.

We drove the Passat 34115 miles in 54 months and burned 826.4 gallons of
Diesel fuel. That's an average of 41.3 MPG. There are only two cross
country trips in that, and a couple of shorter trips (Tulsa and mid
Arkansas), so most of the miles are 25 mile round trips into town for
groceries, etc.

The Legacy cost us $3,000 after the VW buy back (yes, I'm counting chickens
before they hatch). We're trading Diesel goodness for all wheel drive and
electronic gismo's out the a$$. SWMBO really likes the back-up camera,
blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert features. I must admit
that they did help a lot when leaving a crowded parking lot this afternoon
- telling me traffic was coming from both sides as I was trying to back out
of a parking space before I saw them. So far, the Subaru is a bit more
comfortable than the VW was, but neither holds a candle to an old MB.

The newer MB's are still just too expensive for someone who wants to spend
his $'s on airplanes :-), hence the Subaru. Time will tell whether it was a
good decision.

Re: [MBZ] Fuel Filter Crush Washer

 Subject: [MBZ] Fuel Filter Crush Washer
   
The 300D has the early style (crush washer, 1 O-ring) hollow bolt on the fuel 
filter.  Since I changed it this past weekend the crush washer is seeping.  
It’s an aluminum crush washer, I might add.

Didn’t someone have issues with this in the past?  I’ve researched this and 
found that a bunch of people are forgoing the crush washer for a composite 
plumbing washer easily sources at Ace Hardware among other places.

I know you can update the filter head to the later two O-ring version, but I 
really don’t want to mess with that.

I’ll get one of the composite washers tomorrow after work.  I may take the 
aluminum crush washer off and lap it with some emery paper and a piece of  
glass to flatten it out.  For some reason I was thinking there was an issue 
with annealing them?

For now I’ll leave the car parked and drive the 350SDL tomorrow.  Nice to have 
a backup.

But the school activated their Active Shooter Warning System, a couple of
minutes AFTER a campus cop shot the perpetrator dead, and therefore 
declare

their warning system a success.

The perp's biggest mistake was in hitting the fire alarm to get everybody
outside where he could run them down with his car. In doing so, he 
summoned the
police BEFORE he started the attack, and got himself shot about one 
minute after

putting his car in drive. If he'd waited for classes to end, he could have
depended on the normal police response time and bought himself 2-3 
more minutes.

What will cause angst though is that he apparently violated a "safe

discomfort should ever happen.

conveying magnitude  (/how
important is county X compared to other counties?/).

For example, *L.A. County * alone has a population of over
*10 million*. That’s more than the combined population of 10 entire states.
*Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota,
Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont,* and *Wyoming* together have a total
population of just over *9 million*?

Which says that LA County could basically be the key to a Clinton "win"
since the margin is like 1.5M votes at this point, and I think her margin
was larger than that in LA County?  And LA County would basically negate
the votes of 10 states that comprise a very large geographic area though
low-density.

I'm pretty sure "we" did not do enough for him, give him enough free

What will cause angst though is that he apparently violated a "safe

You should contact BAT and see if they’re interested in selling it for you.

[MBZ] OT - Insurance

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

With the youngest son heading out of the house in the near future, I’ve been 
giving some serious thought to reviewing our insurance situation, primarily 
auto and umbrella coverages.  For years we’ve used mainline insurers, State 
Farm for 30 years until they started screwing us, then to Allstate where we’re 
currently at and happy with the service and coverage.

That being said, I’m wondering if I should shop this as well as consider 
talking to an independent agent.  While I am not keen on feeding the corporate 
animals, I also have some concerns about spreading my coverages across multiple 
insurers and whether or not that savings will justify it.

My concern of late is that we seem to be paying an inordinate amount of money 
for our umbrella policy, and I’m not sure why.  It could be due to the 
youngster’s presence over time and I just haven’t paid that much attention to 
it, but I want to be sure.

I would be interested in hearing anyone’s experiences in this vein, positive or 
negative.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel purge.

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I just did this yesterday. Here's how I did it:

Two pieces of clear hose about 18" long. New primary (inline) and secondary 
(spin on) filters.

Removed old secondary filter. Filled new secondary filter with Diesel Purge and 
installed.

Removed "cigar" hose (return line) at the filter head and clamped short piece 
of hose in its place.

Removed supply hose with old primary filter at injection pump. Used old primary 
filter as a hook to hold it and supply line up and out of the way, higher than 
tank so no fuel would flow.

Got new inline filter and clamped it to piece of hose. Plugged outlet end into 
short hose on injection pump inlet.

Poured remainder of Diesel Purge into clear bottle. Inserted both hoses into 
bottle, making sure hose going to injection pump was all the way to the bottom 
of the bottle.  Pumped primer to make sure any air was purged out of supply 
line.

Started engine and revved throttle up and down while Diesel Purge was consumed. 
Ran until there was almost nothing left in bottle. Shut off engine.

Reconnected hoses and tightened clamps. Pour remaining Diesel Purge into fuel 
tank.

Re: [MBZ] needs much repair 82 380SEL

A MiniQ sounds like a great idea. We should get together to plan 
something.

Lazy way is to refill secondary filter with Purge when you change the
filter.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel purge.

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I left out a lot of stuff, like the fact that the steel supply line and
maybe even the return line will leak fuel when you remove the rubber lines,
so be prepared to deal with that and other things that will come up.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel purge.

In the engine bay, on the inside of the left front fender, there are two
steel fuel line connections.  Attached are rubber fuel lines that go to the
engine.  The "fat" swollen looking hose is the "cigar" hose and is the
return line.  Mark the steel line it attaches to so you can keep the steel
lines straight.  The other line is the supply line.  Disconnect the supply
and return lines, put the ends of the rubber lines into a clean container,
add the can of diesel purge to that container, start the car and rev the
engine until all the diesel purge is consumed.  Put the rubber lines back

Re: [MBZ] Let the Martha'ing Begin!

That should be “effects".

Almost forgot - put the brand new MB carpeted floor mats in after spraying them 
with a can of ScotchGard I found in the garage.  They’re beautiful, but I know 
they won’t stay that way. Darn.

Going to order the K1 shift kit from the dealer today so that I can install it 
next weekend when I do the filter and fluid.  Got a set of engine mounts to do, 
too.  Might try those out one evening this week if I feel up to it.

Looking forward to getting out on the road this morning.

Happy Cyber Monday, all!
