I'm thinking dead cell in your battery, or dead short in starter.  Next time it 
happens, see if the starter has gotten warm.

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun - Cars & Guns

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

My adventure was trying to figure out why the SDL hates me.

This has happened before.  I got in after she had been sitting for a few weeks. 
 Figured  I should give her legs a stretch.  I gave her a glow, then tried to 
light off.  Everything went dead.  No lights, no dash, nothing.  All manner of 
key turns, and nothing.  Drove the other w126.  When I got back, I hoped 
everything had reset, but it had not.  Plugged the charger in and set it on 
50amp light off.  Everything behaved, and she lit off.

Battery was not dead.  A little low on power when hooked to the charger at 
1amp. Five hours later, it is all topped up.  Maybe I need to chase wires and 
see if there is corrosion.

And you are trying to buy up a bunch of cars, so it sounds like you need 
to move to Oklahoma.

[MBZ] Today's Fun - Cars & Guns

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Replaced what appeared to be the original factory shocks on the front of my 98 
wagon tonight with a set of Bilsteins from FCP Euro. Best price and ordered 
them with free shipping and still got them in three days.

Took a short test drive and the ride is noticeably better. Looking forward to 
the commute tomorrow to really put it through its paces.

Got a new door check for the driver's door I'll put on the car Saturday. No 
more "clickety-click" when opening and closing the door.

Got my new 1911, too.  I’m thinking about playing hooky tomorrow so I can go to 
the range and shoot it….I’m going to go look at an SKS tomorrow, too.
