Re: [MBZ] MBZ charging for software subscriptions
Sadly more and more true, the creep tyranny has turned into walking, trotting, and now galloping flat out soul-crushing tyranny. Toe the line, smile and nod along with the masses, and you'll be fine.

> So, what is the whole story? Do you have an unfriendly nosey neighbour who complained to someone in authority? Who even knew the tire was low and the battery dead? Actually Randy, no. All of my neighbors are very cool with the live and let live philosophy. I keep my property up, however I drive older, rust belt cars. Some can be quite unattractive at times, but are mechanically sound. The code enforcement officer in my town hasn't been able to enforce much in the last eighteen months because of the government reaction to a virus. So, eighteen months of pent up overzealous enforcement has been unleashed. As I stated earlier, I procrastinated on getting plates, and that was the primary cause. The mail is slow however, and they arrived today, after the cars were gone. They are and were technically legal. Without running the plate, the officer on hand wouldn't know that. My son informed him they were legal, but Barney Fife wouldn't have it. I am grateful I was not home. The situation would have escalated very quickly. I am off for the next three months. Target one on my mission list is the only emissions standard in the state of Indiana. Never underestimate the power of an extremely passionate man, with too much time on his hands.

Re: [MBZ] MBZ charging for software subscriptions
I will probably take the city to small claims court. And as a matter of fact I did have a truck towed and crushed before I could get it back about twenty years ago. Granted, it was inoperable (2.8 v6 gmc with a failed intake manifold gasket), but I purchased it new, and had it rustproofed. It was very clean.

Re: [MBZ] I’ll be moving…
I have a few reasons why we want to sell the Sprinter. First, we are once again without a driver, and I don’t want to have to pay extra to have it shipped. Second, it’s primary use is just putting around town to here and there, lots of idling and stop and go, none of which are good for a Diesel engine and even worse for a modern one with DEF/DPF and EGR. Third, we could use the money for moving expenses since we’ll have to pay for storage for our stuff so the house can be staged properly and sold quickly. Once we get settled into the new place, I can spend a LOT less money on maybe an older Sprinter Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 29, 2021, at 5:39 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > Good luck with the sale and move!

Re: [MBZ] MBZ charging for software subscriptions
I think the day is coming where we will no longer own cars, you will license/lease them, with various options and features enabled or disabled, just like software. Used cars as we know them today won't exist. You'll simply return the car to the dealer and they will reset the options and relicense it to the next tenant. The other model will be short-term rentals (hours/days) for people who only need a car occasionally. Most people won't care, to them a car is a monthly payment either way.

Re: [MBZ] Temptation 93 300CE $2200
"Not more than a few minutes without overheating" speaks loudly of a blown head gasket and intrusion of combustion gasses into the cooling system... cooling system holds about 16 psi... compression gases make 140 +- at 400 F, so compression blows into coolant and makes it hot, quickly. Quick check, Open coolant tank, start engine, look for bubbles and surging of coolant as cylinder pressure pushes out. If it does, head gasket is leaking.
