I have busted the rear axle on my bike within two years of riding. Does that count? Our cat has destroyed the laptop before (true story), but not me... come to think of it, why am I letting the cat get ahead of me? Uh oh, I'm rambling. Time for bed.

Wow!
I had a great time at Chad's Benzfest despite all the diesel heads! Kidding of course. I met some great people with their cars. Gary's car makes me want a diesel sedan...... Thanks to Chad and his family for putting on a great GTG. Man, those smoked dogs were amazing. Thanks again....I hope to return to another. For more pics of BenzyPalooza 2013 - 2.0.....http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r-c107-sl-slc-class/1724918-hear-ye-hear-ye-canadians-coming.html

German pretzels
Who is the kind soul brought the German pretzels? I doubt they were from the name on the bag with the others. Looking for a source for our Oktoberfest, need your vendor please.

HOODLINER
Great car!
Regarding the hood liner; most of the sound insulation products are made out of neoprene which is garbage. You can check chemical compatability to verify my statement. Neoprene has poor chemical resistance to oil, gas and diesel. Know any cars that breathe diesel and belch oil? There is a company in California that sells ADHESIVE-BACKED Nitrile which IS IMMUNE to all these nice products. It comes in different thicknesses and I used the inch or inch and a quarter product. You cut it to the shape, spray a PERMANENT adhesive to the inside of the hood (per instructions and after you power wash and rinse it well at the local self-serve car wash), peel the backing off the product and carefully line it up before touching any part to the hood. While I did mine in one sheet, THIS IS AT LEAST A TWO MAN JOB, and that is two men that can comfortably reach the top of the upright hood (stand it vertically). Once these two adhesives come together, there is no moving it or pulling it loose without tearing the rubber. Mine is slightly crooked. The difficulty in installing comes from the concave shape of the hood. Standing on the side and holding near the four corners leads you to touching the hood at the outside, which if both people do it, may tend to leave a gap in the middle. You do not want to stretch something that doesn't stretch much. I will leave it to you how to figure out how to center the material and touch it top center and work outwards. SEARCH: supersoundproofingsales the tech guy at this company recoed a 3M permanent adhesive that is sprayed on, do it liberally and let it sit before applying as instructed. I have been happy with the product, and it has held up well in every way since installed two years ago. I don't believe that the added thickness I used is necessary, and suggest using plus or minus 3/4" pad. The product looks great, and can be LIGHTLY power washed at the self car wash (haven't seen a need to do that yet, as it looks like I just installed it. |

It's before school starts and it's my birthday weekend. I couldn't imagine a better birthday present than seeing old friends (and hopefully new ones too) and loads of MBs in my yard. I'll make a formal post once I clear it with my wife and our schedules.
