I found this inside my door panel

I don't get it, it seems pointless.Just says 126. No holes to mount it anywhere or anything. Was lodged between the where the sheet metal is crimped together on the bottom of the door behind the window lifter.

???????

INteresting!

It could be a "calling card" put there by a worker. In doing demolition on my 1913 building and other buildings we have found in many cases interesting artifacts from the time the building was built.

Old sears catalgoue, trim boards signed on the back and dated by the carpenter who installed them....lots of interesting things....never any treasure though....whiskey bottles....

You found the last Silver Star Ticket!
This entitles the bearer to the aforementioned tour of the factory.

At the end of the tour, only one of the lucky five Silver Star Ticket holders will be awarded a lifetime supply of Mercedes-Benz cars, parts, and service for themselves and their entire families.

You just have to spend some quality time with the man in the funny hat and his little friends, first.

Sorry to all my catholic brothers....

How the heck can anybody take that guy seriously?

The Catholic church needs to get into the twenty first century! Heck, just getting into the eighteenth century would be an improvment!

They could start by allowing priests to marry.

?? Huh?

I'm so lost and it's not even midnight.

I wouldn't be surprised if the execs at Daimler in those robes. Judging by all of the Benz Worshiping i'm pretty sure they do feel like deities.
