1982 300SD

Row 52 reports this morning there is a 1982 300SD located at the PicknPull in Moss Landing, CA (just north of Castroville on Highway 1). Medium blue in color, the car appears to be complete.

Exclamation LKQ Finds

Doggone it ! .

Send some of those TD's down here please ! .

Our stupid shirt tail relative from Oklahoma broke the R.R seat belt buckle again by slamming the door on it .

It took me a long time to find one for a TD and I had to clean it up and all so it'd retract easily, this damnfool twisted it so it couldn't retract then slammed the door on it breaking the plastic part worse than the last time .

Angry Shirt Tail Relatives

Just so ! .

If this boob was on my side of the family I'da dragged his sorry behind to the sidewalk long ago .

When first we began having troubles with him he simply ignored SWMBO's house rules and she told me to back off so I braced him early one morning and told him to do the minimum she said or I'd get involved and one of us would be in the hospital, t'other in jail, it didn't matter which way it shook out because I'm old & crippled and have already done time, he's a 25 Y.O. kid ....

This B.S. is tiring , I don't know why she puts up with it .

He came with his mother on a visit two + years ago, we had to put her on the bus back to Oklahoma where her own Mother and Daughter won't talk to her, no wonder this kid is so screwed up .

Funny my dad always slams the seatbelt clip in the passenger side door of my SD. He also tangles it up. Luckily he hasn’t cracked it yet but he has scarred up the door jam quite a bit. I think nice thoughts about him when I see all the chips. Odd that he messes this up after driving a lot of old cars during his life.

To make things worse when he complained about me driving a 35 yo car I said everything works. He said “did you fix that seatbelt that doesn’t retract.” Sheesh.

Angry Seat Belt Service

And therein lies the rub :

A seat belt is supposed to be soft & floppy like a good quality silk tie, this makes it retract easier .

It's a simple thing to pull it all the way out and clamp a few clothes pins on the retractor then use a plastic bucket of hot water and maybe some mild soap and a soft brush to clean out all the accumulated sweat and dust.....

Myself I always dismount the entire seats belt(s) and carefully wash them so they retract ut somehow the damn kids seem to manage to twist them so they can't retract....

Breaking the wagon only ones really pisses me off and he's lucky I didn't take it out in flesh .
