1985 Mercedes Benz 300 Sd S-class Turbo Diesel - One Owner Only 123k Miles on 2040-cars
Stuart, Florida, United States
A one-owner 1985 Mercedes Benz 300 SD S-Class turbo diesel. This S-Class diesel has only 122,800 miles. It has always been garaged, never any smokers, no accidents, rust or bdy work. The Astral silver exterior is like-new. The car has never been to an auto car wash, and has always been handwashed. The dark blue leather interior is in excellent condition, with no rips, tears, or wear marks. The MB 300 SD has been dealer maintained since new. The tires are new with only 2000 miles. The Mercedes battery is two years old, and comes with a built in battery maintainer. The diesel engine also has a factory block heater. Equipment includes power windows, power seats, cruise control, and power sunroof. The stereo is an AM/FM cassette from the factory. Weather band is included, as is a power antenna. I purchased this fine Mercedes Benz from a dealer in Maryland, and kept the car at my home in Annapolis, MD until bringing the car to my home in Stuart, FL in 2005. It has alway been garaged, and has been well cared for since new. A car phone was installed in 1985, and it still mounted in the car, but is inoperable at present. The turbo diesel has plenty of power, and gets approximately 26 mpg on the highway. This S-Class Mercedes is one of the finest models Mercedes built. The ride is firm, but luxurious. At car shows, this fine automobile always gets high marks. While not a show car, it is as nice as a 1985 daily driver can get. Among some of the recent upgrades are new brakes, new engine mounts, and new tires. The car is comfortable, quiet, safe, and economical. There are no scratches or dents. There is one parking lot ding on the right rear door. And the windshield has a small chip smaller than a dime. The air conditioning system needs to be recharged. And we upgraded the headlights to brighter, sharper fixtures. Amber fog lamps are great at night or in rain or fog. If you want a fine, classic Mercedes Benz sedan, here is a fine example of an S-Class sedan.

Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
