Some buddies and I went tobogganing up around there somewhere once. I 
remember it was when comet Kohoutek was in the sky so we spent a good 
deal of time looking for it.  We also stopped to have a beer or two at 
some dive bar, as Michigan was 18 at the time while Indiana was 21.  I 
remember there was an older couple there who were out on a date, they 
were sitting at the table next to us and struck up a conversation.  They 
were discussing what to order and ended up getting a bottle of wine - 
Boones Farm Apple.  The sommelier made a big deal of opening it and 
offering the first taste

It's only about as far as Wausau.  It is not that far up there.

From Indiana it is up there wherever there is in Michigan.  Once 
you cross the border it no longer matters how far it is.

Re: [MBZ] Anyone near Bellaire, Mi?

2015-05-08 Thread Darren Marshall via Mercedes
Yeah, it was quite the adventure!

This was the first trip I'd taken over 50 miles since getting it on the road. I 
suppose it was quite a risk for a car that hadn't been driven in 14 years, but 
I needed to put it through the gauntlet--it was also stag weekend, and my wife 
needed the rover. I got a clean bill of health from my local shop, had a 
gallon of Rotella, coolant, water, tools, 

Anyhow, highway driving was pretty smooth, but couldn't really cruise past 70 
unless on a slope. Floored it the whole way... 

By the time we got to Bellaire, the hills just did us in. I finally puttered 
into the driveway of the house we rented, and the car was begging for mercy. I 
had to call up a local mechanic to source an alternator belt, as mine (only two 
months old, which had been set and tightened a week later) was stretched so bad 
I'm pretty lucky it didn't fall right off.

Topped off the oil, and she cranked right back up Monday am. So almost 1200 odd 
miles later, we were back in Chitown. She's squealing pretty bad now while 
idling, which I need to figure out... but I'm awfully proud that it held up as 
well as it did. Almost thought I was going to bury her up in those mountains.

Sounds like its time for fuel filters, a dose of biocide and some anti-water.

Congrats on the long drive.
