HERESY!

Heresy I say! This cannot be a commandment of the true Benz!

I shall laugh at the inferior quadwheels as is only fitting in light of the true Benz!

Thou shalt call the fuel by its true name.

Though shalt never run out of fuel.

From the TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR DIESEL MAINTENANCE

1. Thou shalt keep thine engine clean and in adjustment that thy life in its company shall be long and that the owner shall increase thy pay.

2. Know thy engine and all its parts and functions, else thou shalt be in some unholy spot.

3. Be not wise in thine own conceit. Remember the factory instructions and keep them holy, lest repairs be thine undoing.

4. Be not loose in thy jaw hinges for no man knoweth all about Diesels. The truly wise absorbeth much knowledge and exceedeth little, and he who so doeth shall gain repute among his fellows and favors among his superiors.

5. For all things in this life that thou desireth thou shalt also pay plenty and for the wisdom of experience, no less. Advice from the multitudes costeth nothing and is usually worth just that.

6. In the books thou mayest read what to do and when, but only the voice of experience may tell thee why and how, else thy reading of what and when shall but plague thee with smoke.

7. God maketh the earth to rotate endlessly without bearings, or oil, but not thy Diesel.

8. Curse not thine engine when it turneth not. Curse rather thine own stupidity.

9. Steam engines and gas engines may long turn over though sloppy; a Diesel not so. With gauges and mikes be thou ever busy.

10. The eternal eye watcheth universal operations, but thou shalt not rely upon it as to thy Diesel. Thine own vigilance is the price thou payest for thy job.

Forget not the W123 300D for it is Holy.

Honour thy service and maintanence for this is pleasing. Long and blessed shall thy benz life be if thou obeyest this command.

I like to tell American car drivers that their new car will be in the junkyard in a few years and mine will still be cruising down the road.

it's automatic.

2 major religions in the world, if you don't count Judaism as seperate, that all worship the same God. This thread started in reference to Judeo-christian Commandments and their application to MB. Islam, the other major religion, has this deal where the worshippers go all rightous and whomp over anyone they feel doesn't believe correctly in thier particular flavor of God. This is called a jihad, or holy war. You may have noticed all the trouble recently in the Middle East, Asia and to some extent this country. It has to do with this concept. Sooooo, in carrying the "commandment" motiff that began this thread a little further we get into the MB equivalent of the Jihad, or Benzihad. Something a militant Mercedes owner would participate in, much to the detriment of regular car owning schmucks. Incidentally, one of the tenents of Islam, or commandments, if you will, is that there is but one God and Muhammad is his prophet, as shown earlier in the thread.

Get it?

Now, don't be spending all your time doing engineering stuff. There's a whole wide world out there that doesn't involve building things, taking them apart or math.

How's the senior project coming?
