Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: same old pile of ring dings

 


Hey Noodle,
Jay Leno did a video on the Miata (see JayLenos garage on YouTube). It was pretty interesting and worth watching if you are considering a purchase. I can't get over how much the earlist design resembles a Lotus Elan

Welcome home ;

I see you're serious , nothing much has changed .

Maybe the Miata is a good idea *if* you can fit into one ~ my son had one and it was nice but I could only ride in it , the windhsield header bar was dead centered in my forward vision so I didn't take it when offered for free .

Too bad as it was a fun car , even before he added the turbo charger .

GREAT AC too ! .

Hi, long time no diesel dreams.
every one in relatively good health? I have pnh, a pvt, and had a rex shunt. have fun googling.
hoping none of our older wiser members have gotten their wings, and if so, hoping they were/are diesel powered.
been a lil depressed. I want another diesel, but I am aware of environmental issues. baring any chance that the pollution side of diesel is just a rightwing attempt to get more folks to drive deliberately inefficient gas powered lumps that don't quiver with deep feeling, any outlandish recent break-throughs' in retroactive pollution controls, or new bio diesel technology?
I was drooling over the Chrysler 300 recently, as well as also discovering it is based on Mercedes mechanicals. was that  80' S class hand me downs, or 90's sharing of the merc 300E series parts bin? I was told repeatedly the car was going to get the bluetech like the jeeps did, never happened. what a wasted opportunity to achieve greatness.  aside from health issues, I'm still the same; I never learn, and still don't drive. I tried to get another car, but because I haven't had one for years, I was quoted $3,000 liability alone for not recently owning/registering a car, despite not having any accidents since college. they blame my credit(high medical bills, payment issues due to being on ssd, and, I don't know; google satellite caught me farting in public? granted, they all asked what I had, I said nothing yet; but that I wanted another 300sdl. the same type I had when I last drove before storing, in 2003 or so, then compacting my rusted love, in 2005. I suspect they might have thought it was the same car? and was concerned I drove it for the last decade without insurance? that would explain the gouge, but the drone strike never happened. still scratching my head. screw this. I want a 1930's Morgan three wheeler cyclecar replica(not the new forty grand one) made by hand with tinfoil, plumbing pipe and particle board, and a used motorcycle drivetrain and electrics. then insurance will be $250 a year. then I can convert it to diesel later on.  baring a diesel, i think i'll get a 2008 Chrysler sebring hard top convertible. any hate free insight on those, and the car they are based on? i don't think i'll be getting a diesel, but whatever i get, i want to know what your thoughts are, as i trust you folks more than anyone else out there. i really want a Miata, but it's only a tad more practical than the Morgan.
same old trivial info overloaded email, you say? see? I told you nothing changed....

ALSO:

 

Try going to the dealer with a copy of your registration.  They may be able to get a working key based on the VIN.  If the problem is a marginally working lock....
