Re: [MBZ] OT: How to get screwed out of the cash value in your Whole Life insurance policy

I'm maintaining my portfolio at 70% stocks, the rest in short term bonds and cash. Every year or so I have to rebalance (sell high, buy low) to keep that ratio. If the crash comes, I'll go 100% stocks when they ring the bell at market bottom, ride it all the way back up. -- Max Dillon

Re: [MBZ] OT: How to get screwed out of the cash value in your Whole Life insurance policy

This is largely a consequence of FED (read Administration) policy to try to stimulate the economy through artificially low (like zero) interest rates. But this is small potatoes compared to the many seniors who saved responsibly all their lives but now can't live on the (near zero) revenue from

Re: [MBZ] Pirelli tires might be crap

What is the date code on them? In the world of motorcycles, sport bike tires are supposed to be changed every two years, regardless of tread depth. Touring and cruiser bike tires should be renewed after four years. The tires get progressively harder as they age. I am going to assume that car

[MBZ] Pirelli tires might be crap

So I have this set of Pirelli P7s on my 98 e300 that have maybe 15-20k miles on them now. These are 70k mile tires. Still have plenty of tread. Friday driving back home we had a little light rain and the roads were wet. I had an occasion going around a curve at about 30 and the rear ended

Re: [MBZ] 1982 300SD AC Question

If you have gauges you can at least find out if it's very low on charge or if there's something mechanically wrong. Or you can throw in 12oz of R12 and see what happens. It's common for old cars to leak. Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

I should have been more clear. The line from the compressor to the AC radiator was hot; hotter than I could touch continuously. The top few tubes in the radiator were warm. Everything else was ambient. I'm thinking about pulling the under-dash panel and giving the TXV a few taps (in case it is

Re: [MBZ] 1982 300SD AC Question

Thanks. I'll try the gauges (it was getting dark so I had to quit last evening). I had the impression that there was no flow through the system. Maybe the dryer is plugged? As I recall, the dryer was normally quite warm during normal operation nut it was cold (ambient). For Mitch, I saw no

Re: [MBZ] 1982 300SD AC Question

Drops in temperature occur where there are drops in pressure. If it happens where there's no intended orifice/expansion valve, there's probably something restricting flow at that point. Is this a serial flow condenser, and did something hit the condenser pinching the tube flat where the
