Population pressures. Yeah, that is the ticket! What is needed is the natural response of pressure. Put in a pressure situation, you either blow up or squish it all.

Re: [MBZ] Quote without comment
Plug in cars are great for markets like Seattle and other clogged road urban areas. The things will not need to power while they are trapped in gridlocked highways or city street. They will not get you where you want any faster than a petrol car. I can make it the five miles to downtown in 20 minutes on a really good day. If (always) traffic is at a standstill, it takes 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Fuel gets burnt hoping somebody will be able to move a few feet. The plug in car will end up sucking electrons for just as long in traffic to run the AC and other gewgaws keeping the occupants distracted. We are getting no new power plants and the stupid greenie idiots want to take out the Snake River dams. I am not sure what energy those produce. I know the Elwah and one out of Skamania County did make electrons for our grid. Both are now gone, so the fishies are safe for the Norther Pike to gobble down anadromous salmons. We may have another forest of bestilled wind turbines being planted in the coming decades.

I watched that prius this morning. After watching Chris Fixx swap in a fresh battery into a prius last night. Figured I should know how if I got the lexus hybrid. First, take the car apart (after purchasing a rebuild pack of cells for half dealer cost) so that nothing is attached behind the front seats. Then you have to put it all back and everything is peachy keen again.

Re: [MBZ] If not the SD....
SWMBA seems morally against the marque. It clashes with her perceived identity as a nice person. That I gather to myself the bottom feeder sort of car, and those tend to require a reasonable investment to update, this is deemed to be a “waste” of money. My perspective is otherwise. I see them as more fiscally responsible than paying for newer cars which will probably require a significant investment to keep them in good repair. The W220 was a decade old when it came my way. In the four years I drove it, repair costs equalled purchase price. At the point of SLS and cluster failure, I had tossed close to $5k in 12 months at it. Those repairs would have upped it to another $6k. Car would not meet KBB for those repairs. Dan may be very well versed in how to make the newer cars worth owning, but I am only capable of keeping simple old cars on the road with what little cash I have and a few band aids. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Nov 16, 2018, at 8:46 AM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 15/11/2018 10:45 PM, clay monroe via Mercedes wrote: >> I do not call the shots on this.

Re: [MBZ] If not the SD....
The W220 was not bottom fed. That really sealed the fate of the Star Cars in her mind. NO Benz is good in her eyes. The w124 was too “snooty” for her, and repair costs on that 15 year old car were not “fiscally responsible”. My vote would be to put a low miles 617 in the SD at less than one years car payments. It may not be a perfect car, but I can source better wood trim, rebuild the seating, and make upgrades for lower costs. That “newer” car will require paying a shop to work on it, as I will not.

Re: [MBZ] Paint
Summit Racing I did paint on Allen (SD) 18 months ago. Used Mom’s garage to set up a paint booth of sorts. The Harbor Fright guns do an adequate job of laying down paint. YooTooB provided the education. You need a really strong air system with loads of capacity. Make an air drier and you will deliver enough clean air to paint anything. You have enough scrap to play with. I would advise hoods and trunks to figure out shooting pattern. All the work is in the prep, not really the shooting to make the job look great. If all you are doing is 040 it should be simple. For the best looks, you need to strip all trim and the rest so that paint goes into all the places it should. I learned all the bad habits by cutting corners. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Nov 11, 2018, at 5:01 PM, Kaleb C.

I have found that presenting the statutes to the administrative minion tends to resolve the misunderstandings and errors made by the Barney Fifes. A person does need to fess up when they were in the wrong. I quite enjoy quoting the statutes to the cop while he is fishing for something else to try to catch me on.

Re: [MBZ] Who is in Charge? Just the Facts please
I much prefer the low amp/slow juicing, but with the diesels I sometimes need to just kick the thing over and hope I get enough of a charge on the way to make it good.

Re: [MBZ] gas v Diesel
I used to do the premium pump gas, but did not feel it did well in the w220 or R107. When I switched to no ethenol “premium” the old M17 was much happier. Without the alcohol, octane drops down to 88. Pump gas comes in 87 89 and 92 out west. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Oct 29, 2018, at 7:15 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] gas v Diesel
Whhht? Around PNW the price for #2 is on par with 87. The idiot legislators want us to vote to reduce carbon by taxing our fuel another $0.52/gal. This makes the dorks in electric cars feel superior, because the power plants are exempt from being taxed for spewing carbons. ANYWAY, I filled up the SDL (24 gallons) for $3.46/gal. That was a penny cheaper than the petrol 87. Safeway fuel, not the expensive stuff from the named petrol guys. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Oct 29, 2018, at 4:19 PM, Kaleb C.

Ah, now I know how the homeless issue can be addressed. If a hotel caused cancer, then the hobos can be labeled as carcinogens due to the drug use, smoking, poor food and alcohol usages, living in constant contact to exhaust fumes and urban air.

[MBZ] Who is in Charge?
TIme for power upgrades. I tried to drive Allen yesterday morning and found her dead as a rock. I figured I could give her a jump with Polei, being diesel to diesel, but all I got after five minutes of electrons flowing over what now seems to be overly fine wire gauge (maybe I need to invest in 00) was a wincing shrug of an attempt by the starter. Screw it, I had Polei running, so I took her. I got home post game and tossed the sears charger (smart 2/10/50) at 2amp at the battery. I just installed the group 49 in June, battery born 4/18, so was bewildered that the battery was non responsive. Three hours of two amps made no impact on the battery, so I popped it to 50 amp start mode and gave it a chance to put some electrons back in the box. No avail. No action at all from a turn of the key. And, the charger was pretty warm, it was getting dark, and I was not interested in messing about with electrons in the rain. The charger and battery came inside and I put it to charge low and slow over night. No electrons in the box this morning and just a warm charger. Multimeter found 2.8v in the battery and no voltage from the charger. This forced me to unhook the battery tender widget from the R107 and put the battery on that. The Diehard charger just moans and gets warm with no lights or needle action, nor expulsion of electrons out the clamps. I have the receipt for the battery, and will visit the vendor if she does not take a charge. What I would like is the group consensus on replacement charger for my gaggle of group 49 batteries. All are fairly new (under 18 months). I am tempted to get a wheeled charger with ability to jump a cold winter battery at this point. Or, should I get a standard Schumacher set up for $75 with low and high amp? What of a few of the low cost things and just keep them under the hood of each car? clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
