[diesel_mercedes] same old pile of ring dings

 

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....

[diesel_mercedes] Switching Trunk Locks

 

I was thinking because I cannot open the trunk (its locked) on my 77280SE about taking the lock from my 71 220D and installing it on the 77 280SE.  Does anyone know if the lock is compatible?

Because you can't lift up the back seats and no amount of lubricating oil has worked I am at the point of drilling the lock out.

Thanks and your good thoughts are appreciated!

Mike
