La Scala + Mercedes + desperation=?

In the 50's Mercedes once showed the "ruggedness" of their roof-construction by placing more than 20 people on the roof of a bus.... Found the picture in one of our original workshop-manuals.

Not to mention the crash-tests with various models strapped to a rocket and crashed against a concrete wall.

After having to haul several cars out of the ditch further down the test-site [powerfull rockets..] , they attached a chain to the car so they wouldn't have to drive that far to examine the remains and drag it out of the ditch. :D

So a single La Scala is no problem for a Merc !

heading home this morning after work i catch a rock on my windshield and bust it pretty good! 539 dollars for a new one. anyone know of a cheap place to get a new windshield?

safelite repair safelite replace! Watch tv ever?

That's awesome but wouldn't renting a van or SUV have been easier?

 

Where's the fun in that?  Now, when he finds a pair of MWM's for sale......

 

Exactly, I know how that feels Coytee, I won't do that again, I thought for sure we were going to get pulled over for having mwm's strapped to a jeep from Athens GA to South Mississippi

 

 

 

mpg over the 400 miles to pick them up, 27.8 mpg over the 400 miles back home, 22.3
.

 

Doubt there is anything in the Mercedes owners manual about strapping speakers to the roof, :o  that's probably a first ?    :emotion-21:

 

 

Unless you're a Republican!

im a cheapie... this was much more cost effective than renting something to pick it up. update on the truck though, i bought a new hose to fix the leak. then when i get back home, i bust a fitting to my heatercore and nearly overheat my truck! so i ordered new fittings. it doesnt seem like i will ever get to finish my theater room!

 

I have an old truck that the heater core leaks in.  So I put to Ball valves intake and output.  Just leave them off and wear more clothes.  I only turn it on when the wife is making a long trip with me and complaining that she's cold.

Never thought about that, some of those cores are almost impossible to get to.

i did notice a huge difference! lots and lots of wind resistance. klipsch should have made these more aerodynamic!

 

 

Just had it in the wrong place :o '

 

See your not alone, others have done crazy things to get speakers home, but it definitely was not a Mercedes.

Made this thing to pick up these bins to copy measurements to build some inside speakers, these now yard speakers.

 

I thought we would be pulled over for this but was not, drove through Georgia, Alabama and most of Mississippi. :emotion-21:
