In thinking about getting a set of extra rims for winter tires for our
1982 240D/3.0, I remembered I still have the two extra rims from our 1972
220D/8.
In looking at them recently, I found they are Mercedes part number
115 400 13 02 and are 5.5 J 14.
Will these 115 rims fit on a 123?

And if it doesn't remove the paint, even a small amount spilled onto the
paint and then quickly removed will cause the paint to "crinkle" like the

You can't have more vacuum than there is atmospheric pressure. At sea

Anyone know how to get rust stains out of concrete?
We had a tubular steel lawn chair on our patio which collected water over
the summer. When Shirley moved it recently, the now-rusty water spilled
out and left some stains.

Coming home this evening, I noticed that regular gas jumped 4 cents from
$3.059 to $3.099 and that diesel jumped 14 cents from $3.409 to $3.549.
With that, I'd be better off driving a gas car that got better than 20 mpg
than our diesel.
