 Up for auction is two Mercedes Benz 300Ds a 1990 and 1991. I bought the 90 Benz off eBay with the intent to fix up my 91. The 91 was my fathers car, who is a Diesel Tech, it was also my first car. I recently started driving it again last year so I could save on fuel cost commuting back and forth to work.  I am getting about 32mpg in stop and go traffic. It is an ugly car now and gets no respect on the road. It looked a lot better before it was parked in the middle of parking lot at my Dad's work with no shade for six years. I did not need to do much to get it driving again. I replaced the injection pump, delivery valve's O-rings, return lines, rubber supply fuel lines, I bypassed the fuel thermostat, gave it an oil change, a transmission flush, Master cylinder and two new tires. It drives ok, suspension and steering components are worn and the ac is in-op due to a bad clutch on the AC compressor.  I can't complain, it starts up every time, doesn't burn any oil and has never let me down. I just don't have the time anymore. I've been driving the 91 Benz for a year and still driving it daily.  I love it but I haven't been able to do anything to fix it up and I have too many other vehicles that need repair. Well that... and my Wife hates them and doesn't want to see them in the driveway anymore.

The 1990 Benz was bought here on ebay as a donor car for the 91. The previous owner purchased it at an insurance auction in Miami. The car was in a flood inside a parking garage sometime in 2002. The car was totaled out and has NO TITLE just a bill of sale. I haven't gone though the car very well. The car has 168,xxx miles on it. I serviced it, installed a new battery, drained all the fuel, and replaced the radiator and now it's running. It runs well but I did notice that the water pump leaks, the fan culch is in-op, the brakes need to be bled and the muffler is rusted out. I drove the 90 Benz around town for a little while and it has a lot more power the 91. It drives fine as long as you aren't sitting in heavy traffic. Because it was flooded, some of the accessories  aren't working like the windows, door locks, back head rests, cd player, blower motor, horn, and the power seats. Also the back passenger rear window is stuck down. It's perfect for parts or it can be fixed up with a little more time and effort.

The cars are sold as is. Local buyers preferred. Serious buyers only.

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.

In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
