 This 1985 MB 300TD wagon is a daily driver that my family has enjoyed for the last few years in sunny Texas. It is solid, responsive, very safe and lives up to the reputation of the w123 chassis. With only 142k miles, it is just at the beginning of its life on the road. Mechanically, it starts easily, accelerates smoothly and the idle is quiet. In the hot Texas summers, the air conditioning blows cold, and in the winter the heater warms up the cabin quickly. Cosmetically, it is exceptional for its age. While no 28 year old car will be perfect, the condition of the MB Tex Palomino interior is pretty pristine as is the headliner and all of the metal and plastic buttons/hinges. There are a few hairline cracks in the dash.

We purchased this wagon years ago on the promise that it was as great on the inside as it was on the outside. While the outside was indeed in really beautiful shape, the mechanical condition was not anything near what was promised. We have spent the last few years and almost $10k repairing and improving it so it could be the reliable, smooth and restored car that it is today. Below is a list of repairs/replacements made to the wagon in the last couple of years. The winning bidder will receive all receipts for your records:

Radiator
Thermostat
Coolant bypass hose
Fuel pump
Trap oxidizer
Exhaust manifold gasket/with new manifold bolts
A/C Compressor

As this vehicle is almost 30 years old, no warranty can be given, so please ask all questions prior to bidding. If you have a feedback score of less than 10, please contact me before bidding. I am happy to help arrange for shipping, and if you are in the area, you are welcomed to see it and drive it in person. Thank you for looking, and good luck!

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron

Tue, Jan 3 2017

Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

New Mercedes-Maybach concept set to debut at 2018 Beijing Motor Show

Fri, Apr 13 2018

Mercedes-Maybach builds some of the most kitted out and opulent production cars in the world. Think of the Maybach S 560 and S 650 as a Mercedes S-Class taken to the next level of luxury. Today, Mercedes-Maybach revealed a new teaser for what looks like a concept for a new EV. The car is set to debut in just a few weeks at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show. This might be the Maybach SUV we reported on a few weeks back. It's difficult to make out too many details, but it definitely looks different than the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 that we've seen floating around for the past couple of years. A close-up shot of the steering wheel shows the soft blue glow that Mercedes has put on the EQ-branded concept cars. Other images show clean white leather, rose gold trim and a pair of seats flanking a flower-encrusted panel. All the shots appear to be of the concept's interior, so we can't say for sure that this is the rumored Maybach SUV. Either way, it's sure to be just as luxurious and formidable as anything the automaker currently has on the road. We're hoping they come up with another G-Class Landaulet.

Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

The 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.
