My nephew in law took an executive job with Amgen in February, got laid off on 
Halloween or the day before. 
They bought a 4bdr house in W Greenwich RI in April. You know what it's like to 
sell an executive level home in western RI when the only major employer nearby 
just laid off a bunch of executives? Pfizer was the only one willing to offer 
$100k of capital loss protection as part of their new hire relocation service, 
so his next job was with Pfizer. Then he got his W2, $100k more taxable wages 
than he expected...

Mitch.

As I recall, China has a serious (and irreversible) way of dealing with 
corporate execs that get caught screwing up.

The move was seen locally as a middle finger to the union.  I seem to recall is 
following on a prolonged labor action that shut things down for a while.  May 
have been coincidental to opening the SC plant that has no unions.  It did open 
up a bunch of very large and expensive residential real estate, which impacted 
the top of the market when the executives moved to ChiTown

Re: [MBZ] Goodbye Polei?

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

Buyer showed up at 0900 with a buddy.  I gave them the keys, showed him how to 
glow and where the parking brake was, then set them on their test drive.  It 
took them about 20 minutes to thrash the car enough to convince him to hand 
over $700.  Filled out the title transfer and learned that the Soviet Socialist 
State of Washington put into place a fee upon the seller of car for selling a 
car.  $14 for what used to be free.  Then they will charge the new owner $250 
to transfer title and register the car.  

What a scam.  

I am down to driving the SL for Xmas dinner visit to family.  60 mile round 
trip.  I will fill her with unadulterated petrol, put something in for her 
winter storage to keep the fuel fresh and put her to bed until I return this 
spring to put her on the block.

She is a Kaleb Car.  Silber Grun on green leather, with Dunkle Grun top and 
hubcaps.  All factory.

Re: [MBZ] Goodbye Polei?

IIRC, financiers forced Preston Tucker to hire an established automaker 
executive (who was from GM and did not want another automaker to exist) to 
order him around. We all know what happened to Tucker. He was prosecuted for 
fraud for raising money for a car company when he 'never intended to make any 
cars'. "Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, now that the trial is over, would you 
like to go for a ride in some of the cars I never intended to build?".

[MBZ] Goodbye Polei?

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

I am getting down to the wire with depleting the hoard.  About the only stuff 
left for me to deal with on my own are the two cars and some old Apple/Mac 
computer promotional items.  I have been spamming the few brave folks who over 
the summer removed the Benz items, but nobody has spare cash at this time of 
year.  I really do not want the poor SDL to spend another winter rotting in the 
rain, not getting taken on the road.

The other day a fellow who snagged a bunch of my Mac stuff and the Newton 
message pad came by to pick up the Newton manual I found in a camcorder bag.  I 
figured I could do no damage by mentioning the faux police car, and he said it 
deserved some thought.  I outlined the extreme project nature of the car, but 
that it did all the things a working car does, even has working Becker radio, 
AC and heat, brakes rebuilt with fresh ABS pump, and transmission shifts well 
enough to chirp the tires.   For a basic A to B car, it would be fine, while a 
poorer person saved for a real car.  This guy works for Boeing.  Maybe he sees 
some slack time in his future (737 max?) and just asked to set up a test drive 
for monday morning.  Looks like I am making a K’leb price deal

maybe.  For the price, getting a bunch of spare parts to make upgrades or 
repairs along with a driver seems like a deal to me.  To get rid of it.
