I used Shoe Goo to repair the soles on some hiking boots. Took them on
vacation, got about 100yd down the trail and both soles peeled off.
Went the rest of the way just walking on the pads. Fun.

Interesting points here -- the lights actually draw your attention and
many people if not careful will actually drive into them. That has been
a problem for some time with the blinky blue/red lights. Esp if drunk

So I've been riding around on the restored SLS suspension in my W123 1985

shocks that I had removed and discarded, I do notice some jarring when
driving over bumps. The air cells are probably original with the car,
We recently bought a 98 S500 with clear fluid and good suspension. A
month later the fluid was black and the rear end was bottoming out. I
knew for sure something was wrong when I noticed the headlight beams
bouncing like crazy when hitting minor (for Ohio) bumps. I suspect
