Did anyone else get a message from Linkedin to wish Dave a Happy Birthday? Shouldn't there be a way to memorialize his account or something?

Well for their car tech itch. I've found that a lot of the Mercedes forums have had slowed activity. The groups on Facebook have picked up in activity. But I know that not everyone is on Facebook. So where have folks gone to hang out?

I think I saw on Facebook that Mr. Chill had mentioned he had one of David's cars and I made a mental note to ask how that happened. Now I know. It is indeed very sad. David and I both graduated from VWs to other diesels. He to BMW and me to Mercedes. We had some great conversations...

**TAKEN** I found a box of OEM springs from my 2000 Golf. Can you use them? Know anyone that could?

Yep, sweet ride and Sheryl gets 35 mpg. I’m going to take the S since it’s the only car that is comfortable for me. I do want to check out the Model3 without a salesman yapping at me if possible.

Might actually be able to come today although I will be solo, the wifey is sick. Any preference for car, S350 or X3 28d?

In the states we can import something that's 25 years or older, right? Oh dang, this article says, not unless it has the original engine for California and the states that follow its rules, so I'm out. http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/use-step-step-guide-import-your-gray-market-dream-car

RUG $2.99 Diesel $3.29 in Framingham, MA Some guy on Gasbuddy said Diesel was $2.99, 2 hours before I got there, some how I think he was lying.

Had my first "story" in a very long time. A Fedex driver asked if I knew that I was putting diesel in my car at the Cumberland Farms station in Framingham, MA. I was shocked. No one ever said anything to me when I would fill up my MB E320. My wife says she gets questioned almost every time...

Point 1, 99% of dealers are filled with A$$holes. Dealers make most of their money through the service department and need to fix as much as they can to keep their income stream flowing. Point 2, what region of the country do you live in and what are the conditions when you get the not working...

I need it to use on my 4 post lift. I have a center rolling jack but its not able to reach the correct contact points. I want a bottle jack to have extra flexibility.

Clarity Went to a Honda Clarity drive event at the local mall. I was actually impressed with the thing. At 6'4" I could fit, probably because they don't have sunroofs. It drove decently and is now on my list for when I get my next car. I've been looking into plug in Hybrids for quite...

I find myself in need of a bottle jack. Does anyone have any recommendations? I know nothing about the things excepts they have a small footprint.
