I do but you can't have it ;)

An '82 380SEL parts car with a virtually pristine tobacco leather
interior---just a few surface cracks in the driver's seat---which is at some
point going to be swapped into my Euro 500SEL.

Craig wins the prize. I put in Kleb's address, zoomed out until I could see 
Michigan, recentered on Charlotte, and zoomed in on Ralph Davis' place. He's
got 
  10 acres of cars, Kleb's only got about 1/2 acre.
If you scroll south you will see the buildings identified as RE Davis Motor 
Sales. The Checker Marathon mentioned here recently is SE of the main
building, 
maybe 50-60' from the road.

 You're right, http://tinyurl.com/2676g5o gives some place in Michigan
 about 7 miles southwest of Lansing (Mitch's? :-) ). That's because the
 address given to Google Maps is
 
   24637 S Wells Ranch Rd 74019
 
 If, however, you put a comma in it, like,
 
   24637 S Wells Ranch Rd, 74019
 
 the marker will end up about 500' south of Kaleb's place.
 
 
 But Kleb has more MBs than anyone on the list as far as I know.  I 
 was up to 14 or so counting hulks a few years ago, but now not so 
 many.
 
 I count something like 30 in the picture.

Charlotte, between Battle Creek and Lansing. Never saw a Benz there that I 
didn't park in front of the building while picking up parts for something else.
Haven't seen a BMW there in ages. I just knew the yard would look impressive 
from above, so made it look like that was Kaleb's address to see how people 
would react. There's a new pick it yourself place near Holt that I want to check

That's what I did.  I didn't have a lot of junkers at one time - in fact they 
weren't junkers - just not MB. Since I sold my 1990 300D 2.5 to Ok Don, I went 
through a collection of decent cars, but none were really as nice as the MB I 
now I have.  I really love my 95 E320.  Sometimes, you just have to stick with 
the good stuff!

Speaking of my car, I am going on a short vacation to The Land Between the 
Lakes in Kentucky.  We will be driving the E320.  The round trip is about 1300 
miles.  I am looking forward to getting it out on the road and really clear out 
the cobwebs.  We are driving Saturday night to Springfield, MO where I'm from 
and will spend the night and have breakfast with the family. Then, drive on to 
Grand Rivers, KY.  We stay S, M, T, W, and then head back home on Thursday 
morning.

Nice place, my dad lives near there.  I used to go to Kentucky Lake 
before Lake Barkley was created, and remember all the changes that went 
on when they made the lake -- flooding old towns and whatnot.  One 
incident I clearly remember -- my dad and I went fishing with my uncle 
in his boat on Lake Barkley not long after it was flooded (fishing was 
really good).  We got out really early, it was quite foggy when we 
left.  He knew where he wanted to go, we were going along pretty fast, 
when all the sudden my dad yelled STOP  So he did, and we were in 
the middle of a flooded graveyard, all the headstones sticking up around 
us, we finally picked our way through them and out, and got on our way.  
It was kinda creepy but quite an adventure for me, being young.


In the park there are a lot of old iron smelters, if you can find them 
back in the woods there is a lot of really pretty colored slag chunks 
around, like glass.  I used to have quite a collection, not sure what 
happened to it.  MY granddaddy grew up all around there, he used to know 
where they were and take me and my cousins there on rambles.

Yuk.  But it's not the bodies per se that matter so much as the
contamination of the groundwater with formaldehyde, an unequivocal
carcinogen, which happens whether you flood the cemetery or not.

Around here, the casket has to be sealed in a vault to keep from contaminating 
the groundwater, but I don't think they were made for flooding. If they were 
perfectly sealed, a flood would leave all these concrete boats floating around

Have a reverse auction sale. Put an ad in the Tulsa Craigslist for a $1000 
Mercedes. When they call you to find out what model, tell them you've got 60, 
come pick one out. Next week lower the price to $900 on the ones that didn't 
sell for $1000.

A few months ago, cars were going for about 10 cents a pound. Not sure about 
now.
I guess it depends on how many pounds are left on the cars that Kleb has been 
taking parts off from. If you separate out the non ferrous metals, the aluminum 
and copper, that stuff goes considerably higher than the rest of the car.

Craig wins the prize. I put in Kleb's address, zoomed out until I could see 
Michigan, recentered on Charlotte, and zoomed in on Ralph Davis' place. He's got 
 10 acres of cars, Kleb's only got about 1/2 acre.
If you scroll south you will see the buildings identified as RE Davis Motor 
Sales. The Checker Marathon mentioned here recently is SE of the main building, 
maybe 50-60' from the road.
