[MBZ] Clean 1985 300D on BAT

Very nice smoke silver/palomino car, with just 143K miles, yet the bidding remains calm (currently at $5200). https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-mercedes-benz-300d-turbo-31/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2020-03-12 ___ http://www.okieben

[MBZ] 124 central locking system fun

Last night I had some time to diagnose the central locking system (CLS) on the '94 E320 wagon that Floyd helped me "rescue" a couple months ago. The LF door lock, when turned with the key to lock or unlock, would physically lock that door, but no activation of the CLS. The RF door, upon locking,

Re: [MBZ] OT Keep Calm and Carry On (Mexican beer virus)

There is a local couple here on the Island who are a band called Shovels and Rope. They were doing a European tour, I saw the woman at the library a few weeks ago, she said they were going to be gone until sometime in April. They are really sweet kids so I was happy for their success and exposur

Re: [MBZ] OT guns on sale too!

I was reading the comments, and saw that they have been cheaper in the past. Sure enough, watching a little TV last night and there's a PSA commercial for an assembled rifle with a magazine on sale for $479. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 12:48 AM Scott Ritchey via Merce

Re: [MBZ] OT guns on sale too!

I'm exercising my 2nd amendment, and it feels great. These AR-style rifles have an action which really reduces recoil, so teaching the next generation how to hit what they're aiming for is much easier. I was watching a bit of World War Z the other night. I think a flame thrower or grenade launch

Re: [MBZ] Really, really bad timing by the DOE

Back in the 70s when we had the “oil shortage” I had a friend who worked for BATX (I think it was called), company that owned a lot of tank cars and storage facilities and such. He told me they had zero capacity to store or move any more oil or refined products as all their tanks and tank cars w

Lord only knows with this pack of morons. A bunch of staunch conservatives in their own minds but rabid socialists when it comes to having government hand out cash for any and all civic or social needs as well as to attempt to get anything done. AOC and Burnie would love it. clay > On Mar
