Dodge Mercedes?

[Big_Daddy_T]

"I've seen spy pictures of the new in the future Dodge 4500 cab and chassis with the Mercedes 7. 3 inline 6 cylinder diesel. The Cummins contract with Dodge goes to 2007, what do you think's going to happen?"



I found this one today. So dodge might step up to the medium duty market huh? That would be awesome.

I thought I read somewhere on here that Freightliner was the "medium and large truck" part of Dodge, so building a 4500 or larger Dodge was not really needed - buy an FL50, 60, 70, or 80 if you need more truck. Maybe I misread that, but anyway, I think a 4500 Dodge cab/chassis would be sweet with the Mercedes 7. 3 in it



As always, if I missed something here and I'm really out in left field, then someone will come to my rescue to make me see straight agian

How do you "Bomb" a Mercedes??????????????

 

[wcaldwell]

Barry, you asked, "How Do You Bomb A Mercedes". When I was stationed in Naples, Italy from '88 - '92, (during the time when Frankfurt, Germany was having a lot of terrorist activity) an agent with the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) was in the office talking about a driver for one of the Admirals. The Admiral had gone to Frankfurt, Germany and his armored Mercedes was sent there also. The Admiral was supposed to be flying into Frankfurt Airport so the driver was waiting there with the car. The driver parked the car off to the side toward the front of the airport (waiting for the boss) and went inside for a bathroom/coffee break. While he was gone, the German police paged him several times for him to move the vehicle. He didn't respond. They tried again with the warning that if he didn't move the vehicle immediately, they would blow it up. He didn't. They did. The Admiral arrived to find his Mercedes in several different pieces. The NIS agent showed us photos of the Mercedes. The driver is probably still paying for that car.



That's called "Bombing" A Mercedes.

"I see" said the blind man to his deaf and dumb daughter over a disconnected telephone... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

I always hear it as "I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw. "
