let your hair and beard grow, practice saying  "my name Jose Jimenez"  
"No ingles" and asylum, (and acting like you don't understand anything)  
and everything will be handed to you on a platter in seattle.   Practice 
talking in farsi, borg or Klingon or such as a good touch.

[MBZ] More copart strange

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I was watching this item which was up for auction today.  It started out 
listed with a buy it now for $1500 with no bids.  In the last couple of 
days it started getting bids and this morning was up to $850 and the BIN 
was not showing, but it showed minimum bid (reserve).  When the auction 
started at noon all the sudden it disappear out of my watch list.  It 
shows item sold yet it never even got to auction yet.  So what 
happened?   Did they just let whoever was the high bidder at the moment 
win it before the live auction?

[MBZ] The mexicans and nigerians are ruining Copart

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I was bidding on a 116 300SD today.  Looked like it might have been 
rusty, hard to tell.  Interior needs new seats, front and back, which I 
have.  I bid up to 450 but kept getting outbid by somebody in Nigeria.  
No, it was somebody in UAE.  How the heck do these people on a different 
continent get these cars over there? How is it even economically feasible?

She needs you to appear to be dignified and respectable. If she can

share with her friends and co-workers, that her husband collects classic
Mercedes Benz, then that will have value to her. She does not want to tell
folks about your hobby because she is embarrassed by your bottom feeder

[MBZ] massive rain, breaker keeps blowing

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

We had 2 huge waves of stores/rain come thru, very heavy rain, road out 
front is a river.  Just now all the sudden the breaker for the outlets 
in the living room the TV is hooked up to along with the ceiling light 
have tripped.  I reset it and it tripped again right away.  Reset it 
again and it tripped after a few minutes.  WTH?  I don't know if rain 
got in somewhere somehow and shorted out something.  We have had several 
power flashes today. There is a sump pump on the end of the house but I 
really do not think it would be on the same circuit.  It would be closer 
to being on the outlets in my office.  I had to plug the power strip 
into the next room with an outlet close to the one where it was 
originally plugged into.

Re: [MBZ] Copart SL500

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Randy,

Just an observation on my part….

I totally understand where you’re coming from, but the likelihood that Clay’s 
spouse works in an oak paneled office with associates wearing three piece 
tailored suits and Italian loafers or Allen Edmonds wingtips is slim, based on 
my experience working in Alaska. Even more so as they’re not in a “major 
metropolis”, like Anchorage. I’m betting the dress code at her place of 
business is far more relaxed. Alaska is a very, very different place than the 
Lower 48 or for that matter, any Canadian province (excluding the Yukon, 
Northwest Territories and Nunavut, of course.)

And while I’m not one to judge, my wife may or may not approve of my hobbies at 
times, but she understands that they’re something I get great pleasure and 
enjoyment out of and she accepts that. Granted, I don’t have 2-3 older Mercedes 
in need of work or repairs other than my finnie, but if we lived in a place 
where I could have such things, I would and she would be accepting of it (as 
long as they weren’t parked on the front lawn, of course.) I might even go for 
the green and white W126 German police car replica….

I believe I suggested all of this to you before, but I will say it again

She is a lawyer. She works with people who judge her by the way she 
dresses and what she drives, and where she lives, etc.


If you want to collect old Mercedes, then they need to be objects of 
beauty. You need to stop creating green police cars and such.


Find a good example of a big Mercedes sedan that can be made to look 
like it has real significant value. Black or Silver are likely preferred 
colors.


It needs to evoke respect. You do not want to appear to be a bottom 
feeder. You need to appear to be the sort of gentleman who has 
impeccable taste, and prefers classic vehicles rather than the present 
throw away vehicles. Dress the part as well. You need to appear to be

She needs you to appear to be dignified and respectable. If she can

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cheapest place to install wind power

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I am on the board of our little rural water company. We got federal loans to 
build new infrastructure (and the original build-out 40+ years ago) because 
banks won’t loan money for that although we were later able to refinance those 
loans through private banks to get lower interest rates. We still have a fairly 
big loan for a new water tank a few years back, the rate is pretty good so we 
won’t be dealing with that. 

It’s all part of federal (and some state) law how we are able to function. It’s 
actually a pretty weird setup.

I have been banned from working on the cheep.  She accosted me last night 
because I had the hood up with the battery on the charger.  Just trying to keep 
it functional so #2 boy will be able to find a summer job when he comes back 
from university in a week.

Her crazy plan is to sell the cheep and replace it with some pop up camper 
thing.  That it would fit in her garage.  The Cheep has a hard time fitting 
now.  Removing the unused work out equipment and stack of winter tires will not 
fit a Great White North pickem-up vehicle in that tiny space.  A chubby 
suburban would be nose at the man door and tail keeping the big door from 
closing

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cheapest place to install wind power

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

REA helped Lektrick coops to organize and offered them low interest 
loans.   AFIK, all loans from the 1930s were paid back long ago.  I 
doubt any were over 50 years.   Is a loan program really a subsidy?   If 
the loan is subsidized like FHA, VA etc, then maybe.   I don't  know if 
the loans to the REA coops were subsidized or not.  Are federal 
guaranteed loans for rural development a subsidy?   IMHO,  not as long 
as they are paid back.   To me it only becomes a subsidy when the 
borrower defaults.


Curt Raymond wrote on 4/30/19 10:59 AM:
How does REA have any justification when other subsidies don't? If 
people want to live out there why is it okay to use other people's 
money to give them electricity?


Really what I'm asking is if "no subsidies" is the goal how can there 
be some subsidies?


For the record rural electrification was a hugely important step for 
our country and is a big part of the reason for our safe and stable 
food supply which is a big part of blah blah etc... I'm just curious 
as this seems like a "blind spot" subsidy...

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I saw that one.  Might not be too badly damaged for cheap.  Hood, fender 
bumper might fix it up, though of course those parts are not 
particularly cheap.  The top is probably not working so it has gotten 
ratty inside.  Fixed up it might be worth $3k if the top is toast, and 
no hardtop.

Re: [MBZ] Way OT Cardiac Rehab was Re: OT: Cheapest place to install wind power

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Not a whole lot. /s
To be fair I'm really outside of their normal target demographic which is to 
say I'm 20-30 years younger than most of the folks that go to rehab.
So anyway we stretch a little, lift some weights and then spend 15-20 minutes 
between treadmill, stationary bike and stepper machine for 30-40 minutes 
total.My heart rate range is something like 110-136, I forget the exact numbers 
but basically they want me in the low 120s. We wear monitors that are networked 
so they can watch my heart rate the whole time.
Once every 2 weeks you're allowed to move up 1# on the weights...
My issue is they don't push you to go faster and they actively slow your weight 
increases. This week in the hotel gym I've been doing 10# weights since they 
only have 5# and 10# as choices, in rehab I've been doing 7# and would have 
moved to 8 this week. I've been interval running with my heart rate around 140. 
The first run I got as high as 150 but this week its been easy to stay around 
140 while going faster than they let me go in rehab.
Insurance pays for 36 visits (12 weeks) of rehab of which I've only completed 
half because I keep getting interrupted by having to go to work. This drives 
the rehab crew CRAZY, I'm about the only one that goes that isn't retired...So 
at this point I'm thinking hard about dropping out, I've gained stamina and 
energy this week which I attribute to pushing myself more while I'm here.
Angie has been going to a local gym crossfit-like (but not actually crossfit) 
and wants me to go too, I'm considering it.
I don't remember if I told you guys but last year I did Couch to 5K, up until 
the weather got cold last fall I was "running" (jogging slowly) 9 miles a 
week...

Re: [MBZ] OT nextdoor.com

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I can see the advantages from the collective group-think stuff, as we had a 
situation with neighborhood youngsters pilfering valuables from unlocked cars, 
and the information sharing that occurred resulted in a very prompt and 
effective resolution involving the perps and the local gendarmes. This was much 
like what Max described.

However, as Clay described, the developer’s efforts to rape and pillage 
personal information is pretty awful. I didn’t look into the web based 
approach, but considering what they were trying to get out of me, I suspect 
they’ll still try and get whatever they can.

Thank goodness ours is nowhere near that restrictive, but I’ve heard stories 
about ones that are. It seems like the more expensive the properties, the more 
restrictive the rules get from my experience.

As for the NextDoor app, my oldest son is on it and shares stuff with me, but 
it’s so intrusive as to the information they want from users I won’t join up. 
If it wasn’t for the MB groups I’m in on FB I would bail from that, too.

My buddy lives over there and has to keep his Harley in a storage unit up the 
road a bit because they don’t allow motorcycles inside the wire.  There are all 
kinds of other HOA rules too. I’d shoot myself rather than live in one of those 
places. Another friend had a condo over there, lived in it until her husband 
died, she used to go to the various meetings and be a PITA, almost got arrested 
a coupla times calling out their nonsense.

Are the other subsidies "gifts" or "loans"?

I believe all the money in REA was as loans.

 Come to the hospital in Gardner and watch the turkeys flock under the wind 
turbines. You can see them from where I go to cardiac rehab. Now if I could 
only sit under there with my shotgun...
The really big turbines being installed today barely make any noise at all. 
Gardner has I think 4 1.5MW turbines, you can go stand under them, they're much 
quieter than a 300D idling. (MB content) :)

 How does REA have any justification when other subsidies don't? If people want 
to live out there why is it okay to use other people's money to give them 
electricity?
Really what I'm asking is if "no subsidies" is the goal how can there be some 
subsidies?
For the record rural electrification was a hugely important step for our 
country and is a big part of the reason for our safe and stable food supply 
which is a big part of blah blah etc... I'm just curious as this seems like a 
"blind spot" subsidy...

bringing lektrick or internet to areas where no private company can

The gummit should get out of areas not specified in the constitution. 
They SHOULD mind the business specified in the Constitution, like

Minimal. Towing anything will sap the range due to extra weight and
aerodynamic drag. I've never seen one fitted with a towing hitch.

I've seen them in red and sort of a silver/gray.

I don't think any of these cars will move with something plugged into the 
charge port. 

I can imagine tapping straight into the battery with a couple of 3500W 
generators on a trailer hitch mounted cargo rack, 240v rectified and wired in 
series to charge the 400v traction battery as I fly down the freeway at 75mph 
and 12-15kw draw. 
I can also imagine myself walking away from the car, forgetting about the 
generators, and setting the battery on fire. 

Mitch.

What’s a Tesla‘s towing capacity?

I have lately seen a bunch of these things around here, mostly apparently 
associated with the luxury gated lifestyle resort communities down the road. 
None of them towing anything though. All black or white, seems like there are 
no other colors. 

I am awaiting the day I get run over by one while I’m riding my bike, like 
almost happened with a Pious running on battery. Can’t hear the damn things 
coming up behind.

Re: [MBZ] OT: drove a Tesla

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

It was Rabbit, not Beetle, to match the EV.  Front half, and with a Cabrio 
tailgate grafted
on to the pusher/trailer.  Looked like a very practical arrangement, a 
permanent tailwind.

I think one of those receiver-hitch luggage carriers with a nice little 
rope-pull genny in it
would make a nice statement on a Tesla.

I doubt that any of the new EV's could make use of, or even tolerate, its 
presence in any
kind of functional sense.

IMHO the Chevy Volt was the best of the bunch, concept-wise.

So has anyone prototyped a trailer with a generator, tow behind your Tesla
and charge as you drive down the highways and byways? I remember a guy that
rigged up some kind of pusher for his 'lectric car, used the back half of a
VW beetle and I think it had their autobox in it, so he could easily
manipulate it with cables from the driver's seat of the car being pushed.
Looked like a real death trap.  I wonder if you-toob has it online?

Re: [MBZ] OT: drove a Tesla

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Pretty much do now AFAIK. The issue is that not all chargers have the same 
ability to output to the port nor do all batteries have the ability to accept 
charge.
