Diesel aftershave!
Hello Everyone
Stopped at a restaraunt for a snack on the way home from work. Three MB diesels in a row before quitting time. The waitress asked what kind of aftershave I was wearing so she could get some for her husband; I said with a straight face, "Diesel aftershave". She cracked a big grin and said; that is so sexey, is it new? I cracked up; told the truth and showed her my 1985 300SD. Now she wants a Mercedes Benz diesel! :D What a way to end the day!:D |

I always thought I enjoyed the smell of diesel burning in the morning, but this morning I followed an old Chev diesel into work. Wow. What a foul odor. Didn't even see any smoke, but it burned my nose and eyes until he turned off.
Smelled sort of like diesel, but more like burning garbage. |
Hmmm, sounds familiar.
Hmmm, sounds familiar.
I knew a fellow (shade tree mechanic) in KC Missouri. He used a water trough half full of diesel to clean parts. All the carburetor cleaner, paint, thinner and other chemicals, where dumped in the water trough. When it would not clean parts any longer; he would drain the tank through a filter, mix it 50/50 with fresh diesel and use it in his truck. That truck made a smell which could make anyone vomit. |

Therapy: Consider these warning signs and see a therapist as soon as possible if you exhibit more than 3 of these signs: The racket it makes when it's started in the morning sounds sweeter than the opening chords of Beethoven's 9th. You honestly think no perfume smells as good as diesel exhaust. Your spousal unit begins to wonder why you're suddenly volunteering to run all the errands. You record fuel consumption, mileage, oil changes, and other significant events in the life of your truck with such care and accuracy that the most picky NASA scientist would conclude you're overdoing it. You hear the word "bible" and immediately think "owner's manual." You find yourself looking at maps to see if there isn't some way to drive to Europe instead of flying. Every Monday morning as you drive up the street, your neighbors are frantically running to the curb with their trash cans thinking that the garbage truck has arrived three hours early. You laugh with glee. When driving through a tunnel or long underpass you slightly slow down just to hear the motor reverberate off the walls. Your wife dabs diesel fuel behind her ears when she "wants your attention". You pull up to places that have valet parking and purposely make sure your exhaust is placed so that you can fill the main entry with diesel fumes. You put the exhaust right beside the snobs in the convertible on the interstate and floor it! I love it when I pull into the drive thru for my morning coffe with out stopping because the girl knows the sound of this engine and already has it made by the time I round the corner with no wait! |

It was a pleasant day
It was a pleasant day, and on a good road the 240D bowled merrily along. Suddenly it gave a wheezy cough and stopped dead. Investigation showed that the engine had dropped out a dozen miles back. The 240D had run twelve miles on its reputation.

Is there a garage here
An automobile tire salesman got off the train at a small crossroads town, and asked one of the natives whether there were any automobiles in town.
"Yep, there's nine of them," was the reply. "Is there a garage here?" he inquired further. "Nope, they're all Mercedes," was the answer. |

Stolen Mercedes
Stolen Mercedes
George drove his brand new Mercedes car to his favorite sporting goods store. He parked it outside and went in to do a little perusing with Barbara, his regular sales woman. Barbara was a pretty blonde, and as George walked into the store, she happily greeted him. But he requested to look around alone today before he needed her help. She obliged and let him do his thing. Five minutes later, Barbara came running up to him yelling, "George! George! I just saw someone driving off with your new Mercedes!" "Dear God! Did you try to stop him?" "No," Barbara said, "I did better than that! I got the license plate number!" |
Painting
Painting
A neighborhood kid was looking for ways to earn money. He knocked on the door of one house, and when the man answered the boy asked, "Hey mister, got any odd jobs I can do?" The man indeed had a job for the boy to do. He handed the boy a can of red paint and a brush. "Paint my porch." The boy was eager to do a good job and the man went back inside. A couple hours later, the boy knocked on the door again. "Okay, mister, I'm done painting. But I gotta tell ya, that's not a Porsche, it's a Mercedes." |
New Mercedes
New Mercedes
A guy went to Tuscaloosa and picked up one of those new Mercedes. He was testing it out in the parking lot, turned on the radio and nothing happened. Furious, he demanded to see the plant manager, and told him "When I buy a $80,000 car I expect the *?@ radio to work." The plant manager explained to him that the radio had been programmed to his voice and all he had to do was tell the radio what he wanted to hear. Pretty neat stuff. He got back into the car and said, "country music," and old Willie Nelson started singing. "Rock and roll", he exclaimed, and immediately Elvis started crooning. "Easy listening," he remarked, and all at once it sounded like he was in an elevator. He was relaxed, driving up I-59 to Birmingham, and listening to smooth sounds. Then a pickup truck with two good ole boys almost ran him off the road. "Stupid rednecks!" he screamed. The radio immediately blurted out, "TOUCHdooooooooown AllaBAAAAAAAmaaa!!!!" |
Mercedes for $150
Mercedes for $150
A woman was looking for a used car to buy and saw an ad in the classifieds. It read: Brand new 2003 Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG, silver metallic, loaded with options. Will sell for $150.00. She was astonished and decided to call the seller and check it out. The woman selling the car was glad to show it to her and, to her surprise, the car was in absolutely perfect condition. She asked the woman, "What's the catch? Why are you selling this car so cheaply?" "Well," she said, "it's my husband's car actually, and he recently ran off with his young secretary. I got a telegram from him last week that read: 'In Miami. Need money. Sell car.'" |
Raining
Raining
Two dumb blondes were in a parking lot trying to unlock the door of their Mercedes with a coat hanger. They tried and tried to get the door open, but they couldn't. The girl with the coat hanger stopped for a moment to catch her breath, and her friend said anxiously, "Hurry up! It's starting to rain and the top is down." |
Mercedes Star on Taxi
Mercedes Star on Taxi
A taxi driver driving a Mercedes-Benz picked up a rather simple looking fellow at the airport one day. When the gentleman got in and they started on their way he enquired what the three pinned emblem on the front is for. The driver replied "why it's for lining it up at people so you can run them down". "Ah I see", said the man. With this the taxi driver starts heading straight for an elderly woman but at the last second swerves away and hears a loud bang, he looks curiously over at the passenger who is hanging out of the car with the door wide open: "I thought you were going to miss there for a minute!" |
Mercedes Star
Mercedes Star
The CEO of the luxury car maker Mercedes Benz was proud of all his staff. One fine day, he decided to make a trip down to a company's plant to interact with the workers. All the top managers upon knowing his rare appearance to the plant were very excited about it and made sure they prepared their workers for the Chairman arrival. At the plant, the Chairman posed a very simple question to his managers, "who can tell me what the Mercedes circular insignia at the front of the car represents?" All the managers were dumbfounded. Just then, a young sleepy chap amongst the workers was quick to answer, "Oh that's simple, u fools. It stands for: 8 o'clock start work, 12 o'clock lunch & 5 o'clock go back!" |

A mercedes a house and a million in stock
One guy leaves for a bathroom break. Three guys are left. The first guy says, "I was worried that my son was gonna be a loser because he started out washing cars for a local dealership. Turns out that he got a break, they made him a salesman, and he sold so many cars that he bought the dealership. In fact, he's so successful that he just gave his best friend a new Mercedes for his birthday." The second guy says, "I was worried about my son too because he started out raking leaves for a Realtor. Turns out HE got a break, they made him a commissioned salesman, and he eventually bought the real estate firm. In fact, he's so successful that he just gave his best friend a new house for his birthday." The third guy says, "Yeah, I hear you. My son started out sweeping floors in a brokerage firm. Now, he's so rich that he just gave HIS best friend a million in stock for his birthday." The fourth guy comes back from the can. The first 3 explain that they are telling stories about their kids, so he says, "Well, I'm embarrassed to admit that my son hasn't done much career-wise. He started out as a hairdresser and is STILL a hairdresser after 15 years. But I guess his personal life is going OK. He's gay and has SEVERAL boyfriends. And to give you an idea just how much his boyfriends like him, check this out: three of his boyfriends just gave him a new Mercedes, a new house, and a million in stock for his birthday! |

diesel fitter
Hans and Frans worked together in the factory, and both were laid off,
so off they went to the unemployment office. Asked his occupation, Hans said "Panty stitcher. I sew the elastic onto cotton panties." The clerk looked up panty stitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled labor, she gave him $100 a week unemployment pay. Frans was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter" he replied. Since diesel fitters was a skilled job the clerk gave Frans $300 a week. When Hans found out he was furious. He stormed back in to find out why his friend and coworker was collecting more than double his pay. The clerk explained: panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters were skilled labor. "What skill?" yelled Hans. "I sew the elastic on, Frans pulls them on, and says, "Ya, diesel fitter." |
loaded MB
A real estate mogul in Beverly Hills, CA buys a BIG, new, full-house
Mercedes Benz, pulls out of dealership, comes to stoplight, and encounters a guy driving a similar, loaded MB. He says..."do you have the V12 ?" "Yep" "Do you have the phone/fax machine?" "Sure do" "Do you have the TV set?" "Of course . . . and I have the bed!" And with that the man drives off. The first MB owner says, "THE BED? I gotta get the bed." So he goes to his Beverly Hills MB dealer and says, "I don't care what it costs, I want THE BED!" Two weeks later he has his new MB with a bed and he encounters the same guy with the similar Mercedes at a stoplight. The car is parked at a restaurant and it appears no one is in it, so he goes over and knocks on the rear window. The window comes down slowly and car guy one says. "hey, hey, I got THE BED!" The other guy, irritated, says, "You got me out of the shower for that?" |

hot dogs and hot heads
Hello Everyone
Stopped at the local hot dog and burger joint for dinner. Pull in, park, leave it running and lock the doors. Set at the bar to order takeout. Ten minutes later; MR red neck teen (Ford truck, V8 open headers gasser, jacked up) walks in, choking and gasping about the diesel stench and racket. I ignored him. I paid and he paid right behind me. He got his V8 gasser fired up and watched me unlock my 300SD, he started punching his gasser up to 4 or 5K trying to irritate me, I got the food loaded, climbed in, dropped it in gear, the fool wound out his truck to the max and popped the clutch. Very loud kersproing as both drive shafts broke off the transfer case. :D I calmly eased into the throttle and laughed my way home.:D |
daBenz really did have someone run out with a trash can while trolling through a quiet, small mid-western town (daBenz doesn't have a hood pad). Wasn't sure what was going on so I stepped into the throttle and beat him to the end of his driveway.

my wife is
beginning to like the slight odor of diesel.
We compared vehicle fuel bills. LOL Guess which cost less. :D Her 2002 Grand Prix uses 2 tanks of gas to my 1 tank of diesel. She has me looking for another possible buy for her.:D Here is a chukle: She asked if Jaguar offered a diesel. LOL!!! |
If jag offered a diesel, it would probibly make grown men cry..
But there very attractive vehicles. |
My wife
wants me to investigate installing a MB diesel in a Jaguar.
I have friends that may be willing to supply an XJ6 body. What engine would you suggest? Hmmm; I wonder if the combination would be Super Turtle! LOL.. |
Sounds like your wife is as loony tunes as the rest of us. :D
I'd say OM603 if it'll fit. Aren't the hood lines awfully low? |
Vee vill zee
Vee haff vays off makink it fitt effen eff ve must juice force...
There is not a lot of difference in engine height. |
Maybe make it a slant-five? Imagine: a Jag pulling up to the diesel pumps at a truck stop. That would be a funny sight.
|
Gad
My wife keeps taking my 300SD and leaving me to suffer with the gasser.
Hmmm. Wonder if a 190D would make her happy? |
Not once she's accustomed to an S class. Sounds like you need an SDL.
BTW, this forum is not like some others where threads get deleted if they have no activity. So you don't have to go and bump all your threads to keep them alive. But if you're just doing that for fun then it's a different story. ;) |
YEP, for fun...

Diesel aftershave.
I bought new dress shoes.
Hate the stink of new shoes. I took polish and an ounce of diesel, warmed the polish and mixed in the diesel, three coats of polish later, the new shoes smell good to me. :D :D Now, when I go to meetings, people ask if it is a new cologne. LOL :D |
Bump
