I went to geezer hour at the grocery on Monday morning 6A-7A.? It was
mobbed with geezers driving their carts like they drive their cars in
the parking lot.? Some of those people were rather vicious and of course
they tend to wander and leave their carts crosswise of the aisles and

checkout they stand there and oops realize, oh I actually gotta pay for
this, then root around for a wallet and debit card or whatever and that
takes another 5min.? I got a few things and decided not to deal with
that madness again.

Popped in yesterday afternoon, there was hardly anyone there. Only good
steaks, not much other beef.? Some chicken etc.? Plenty of eggyweggs.?
Other staples in short supply but I am fairly well-stocked in that regard.

Get off my damn lawn!!!

Nice.

I built one by stripping the jacket off of an 1ft extension
cable.  Quick and easy - but no current multiplying.

I was looking at electrical stuff on a website (maybe Zoro) and saw

what I did.

Re: [MBZ] OT how bad could this be

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

That guy Hoovie bought a “cheap “ Roller for $80k or so. He took it to his mech 
and I recall something about checking mineral oil in some system. He did get it 
sorted and apparently it was working fairly well. A lot of the parts are BMW 
bits so it is possible to get them cheaper

I went to geezer hour at the grocery on Monday morning 6A-7A.? It was
mobbed with geezers driving their carts like they drive their cars in
the parking lot.? Some of those people were rather vicious and of course
they tend to wander and leave their carts crosswise of the aisles and
are oblivious to anyone else around.? Then after going through all the
checkout they stand there and oops realize, oh I actually gotta pay for
this, then root around for a wallet and debit card or whatever and that
takes another 5min.? I got a few things and decided not to deal with
that madness again.

Popped in yesterday afternoon, there was hardly anyone there. Only good
steaks, not much other beef.? Some chicken etc.? Plenty of eggyweggs.?
Other staples in short supply but I am fairly well-stocked in that regard.

Get off my damn lawn!!!

Re: [MBZ] OT how bad could this be

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I believe there was something about them using (mineral?) oil in their 
hydraulic systems, or something to that effect? I was thinking I had heard 
about non-Rolls mechanics working on them and putting the wrong stuff in them 
and doing some serious damage as a result.

I’m pretty sure I’ve spoken about how the first place I worked for in the 
generator business was next to a Rolls Royce dealer in Zionsville, IN. It was 
just a little hole in the wall place, but people drove or had their RRs shipped 
in to have them worked on there. We would wander over during lunch if the shop 
door was open and chat the guy up. He showed us a lot of neat stuff, none of 
which I recall except that they paint marked every fastener to know if it had 
been tampered with.

Re: [MBZ] Economics

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Lol, you need to read Pikety's books.

Seems that economists mostly sit around doing imaginary "mathematics" making up 
meaningless equations that prove whatever they want to prove.

Not news to me, I figured that out decades ago when our faculty sponsor for the 
sailing club while I was in graduate school was an econ professor and getting 
disgusted with the subject.

Airy fairy bullshit is what I would call most of it.

When the currency is pegged to a physical object (like gold) increases in 
production, harvest, efficiency, or mining all result in lower prices as the 
amount of gold is more or less fixed, and the available currency is infelxible. 
 One of the major causes of the Depression was the gold standard -- as 
industrial production ramped up in the 20's -- one of the golden ages of 
efficiency increases and productivity increase per worker hour (mostly due to 
automation) -- and the US had some really nice crop years, the amount of goods 
increased rapidly at a time when gold mining was yeilding very little gold.  If 
you had twice as much wheat this year as last, it can only cost half as much 
per bushel if there is no more gold.  

Add in the collapse of the embargo on Russian wheat when the Whites lost the 
civil war and the Reds took over and the consequent collapse of the European 
wheat market for American wheat, and prices plummeted.

The flip side of that equation, to my mind, is that when you inflate your way 
out of massive debt, as the Western world has been doing since the 1960s, 
prices inevitably must rise as the value of the floating currency declines -- 
and vast "fortunes" made by high speed stock trading and real estate 
speculation decrease the value of the currency (also known as inflation).

Re: [MBZ] OT how bad could this be

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

I think I have told the story about my son the mechanic working on the 
brakes of an old Rolls before but will do it again.


I don't know or remember all of the details so forgive me if I am a bit 
vague.


This fellow had an old Rolls. Not sure of the vintage. Not ancient but 
old - maybe from the 50's.


The brakes were essentially non existent. He brought it to their shop 
because they did custom work on hotrods, race cars etc.


They looked at the brake system which was something quite unusual. If I 
recall, it had some sort of hydraulic booster driven off the back of the 
transmission. Parts were either unobtainium or silly expensive so they 
looked for alternatives.


They installed a brake booster out of a Chevrolet and that improved 
matters somewhat but not enough. This thing had massive drum brakes if I 
recall correctly and they started looking at the brake mechanism for 
clues as to why it did not work like they thought it should. Ultimately, 
they elected to reverse the shoes in the drums. I think they put the 
ones from the right side onto the left side etc. Totally backwards by 
anyone's book, but it worked reasonably well. I don't think they felt 
that the brakes had been put together wrong by previous mechanics.  My 
son still did not think the brakes were good on the car but the owner 
was happy as could be. He said they were much improved from the way it 
was when he brought it in and felt it was safe to drive it. I think he 
only used it in photo shoots for weddings or something like that so did 
not intend to drive it cross country.


If anyone is truly interested, I will ask him and either correct my 
guesses or add whatever detail he can provide. I know he should remember 
this well.

As OKDon said, "Looks great - Atta-Boy!"

What is the scale of the ductwork we are seeing (how large in diameter is
the round outlet)?

What is the red T-shaped "thing" with the black parts?

Is the second picture rotated?

Re: [MBZ] Don’t miss out on this fantastic investment opportunity

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

A man after my own heart. I’ve done stuff like this on more than one occasion 
and it’s often, not always, yielded results.

“Gee, I’m sorry I can’t offer more, and I certainly understand your 
predicament. Be sure to reach out to me in the future should things change.”

I always share my observations and information whenever possible, too. Sure, it 
may end up working against me on occasion, but more often than not it tends to 
build trust with the seller. I just send a note from time to time to touch base 
and maintain contact.

You just have to be patient sometimes and willing to commiserate. It’s all 
about trust.

Re: [MBZ] underwater on my title loan

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

You have to give/show the title to TitleMax or whomever when you go get 
the loan, they put a lien on it so you really can't convey it.  That's 
the deal with this ML500 that I need to get sorted out.  The covids 
might work to my advantage on that deal too, TM are way underwater on it 
now, will be even worse when no one will want a 15yo dead anchor no

[MBZ] Economics

[Craig via Mercedes]

In regards to comments made by Andrew and Dan about the used car market
collapsing, is there anyone here who understands economics to be able to
comment on the article I found below? I have heard a quote from Benjamin
Anderson who said the Great Depression of the '30s "was great in
magnitude and endured because the 'government played God.'"


Craig

P.S. I do not understand economics. When I was in college, the fellow in
 the next student house room was an economics major. His faculty
 advisor was the prof who taught the economics course I was required
 to take and commented to him I was one of the people who should not
 be forced to take economics.

--

Even If the Fed Keeps Pumping Money,
We May Still See Deflation

 It is tempting to assume both money supply inflation and price
 inflation will come soon as the central banks pumps new money.
 But if banks aren’t lending because the economy is in disarray,
 the money supply may actually shrink, and prices may even fall.

So far in March, the data indicates that the yearly growth rate of our
measure for US money supply (as measured by the AMS metric) stood at
10.5 percent against 6.6 percent in February and 1.7 percent in March
last year.

Given that the Fed is busy throwing money at the economy as if there were
no tomorrow, it is tempting to suggest that the momentum of the AMS is
likely to increase further and that consequently runaway inflation could
emerge in no time.

However, in response to the massive decline in real economic activity,
it is possible that banks’ generation of loans out of thin air, i.e.,
through fractional reserve lending, could fall sharply.

For the time being, the annual growth of our measure for this type of
credit -- also known as inflationary credit -- stood in March at 14.1
percent versus 7.4 percent in February and 3.4 percent in March 2019.

If the momentum of inflationary credit were to fall sharply, it would
likely cause the yearly growth rate of money supply to follow suit (see
chart). Consequently, a sharp fall in price inflation could emerge. If
this were to happen, the government and the central bank would intensify
their spending and money pumping to counter the deflation.

 Figure-1

A general decline in the prices of goods and services is regarded as bad
news, since it is seen to be associated with major economic slumps such
as the Great Depression of the 1930s.

In July 1932, the yearly growth rate of industrial production stood at
–31 percent while the yearly growth rate of the consumer price index (CPI)
stood at –10.7 percent by September 1932 (see chart).

 Figure-2

  Is the Fall in Prices Bad News?

Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing wrong with declining prices.
In fact it is the essential characteristic of a free market economy to
select those commodities as money whose purchasing power grows over time.
What characterizes an industrial market economy under a commodity money
such as gold is that the prices of goods follow a declining trend.
According to Joseph Salerno,

 In fact, historically, the natural tendency in the industrial
 market economy under a commodity money such as gold has been
 for general prices to persistently decline as ongoing capital
 accumulation and advances in industrial techniques led to a
 continual expansion in the supplies of goods. Thus throughout
 the nineteenth century and up until the First World War, a mild
 deflationary trend prevailed in the industrialized nations as
 rapid growth in the supplies of goods outpaced the gradual
 growth in the money supply that occurred under the classical
 gold standard. For example, in the US from 1880 to 1896, the
 wholesale price level fell by about 30 percent, or by 1.75% per
 year, while real income rose by about 85 percent, or around 5
 percent per year.1

In a free market the rising purchasing power of money, i.e., declining
prices, is the mechanism that makes the great variety of goods produced
accessible to many people. On this Murray Rothbard wrote,

 Improved standards of living come to the public from the fruits
 of capital investment. Increased productivity tends to lower
 prices (and costs) and thereby distribute the fruits of free
 enterprise to all the public, raising the standard of living of
 all consumers. Forcible propping up of the price level prevents
 this spread of higher living standards.2

Most experts argue that a general fall in prices is always “bad news,”
for it postpones people’s buying of goods and services, which in turn
undermines investment in plants and machinery. All this sets in motion an

Listed 20 hours ago in Savannah, GA 



  About This Vehicle…

Driven 75,000 miles

Good condition 


  Seller's description…

Dark green, 4 door, manual transmission sedan in excellent driving condition. 
Updated parts and routine service through Crumley's Compound here in Savannah. 
Odometer and speedometer not working but other gauges do. Odometer is just over 
75k and mechanic said by state of car, that is likely close to the reality of 
mileage. Interior is tan leather. More photos to come. Best offer considered.
