1975 Porsche 911 Targa Rebuild

I've officially broken my arm patting myself on the back. As of last night I have a running, functional automobile once again! In the interest of documentation and transparency: My Duh! I had my brand new, non-crud-filled gas tank in, battery (that has been carefully cycled and maintained these last 6 months) placed and all connections double checked and then proceeded to gently turn the key. Well it's cranking but no sign of real life, I smell gas, so check, I have everything re-wired the way it was (photo checked) 6 months ago so? No, stop, look at everything again. 1 spot is going to the wrong end of the engine. Ok Dumbass, look at all of them again (I only had 1 and 3 switched but that was enough). Now I get a cough, begin to dial back the mixture till the coughs get stronger, keep going and vroom, my baby is purring again! Oh wow, and it's smooth too. I did have an odd distinct whistle (that I took to be a vacuum leak) but a call to my recent Porsche whisperer teacher instantly suggested that was an open port for the power brakes that my car doesn't have. Plug that (then reset my mixture and idle) and suwheet! 2 DA move of the week. I discovered this one last week but hadn't dealt with it yet. I didn't think about the clutch fork when I slipped the engine in. Therefore I had trapped it back doing nothing. I started to put her away as it was 5pm and time to get the munchkin but I was way too excited about an operable machine this close. So I pulled the engine enough to properly align that fork and put it back in.

When you need power you are never short of it in the new E Class! Both of these engines are connected to a smoothly operating seven speed automatic transmission. E550 is an All Wheel Drive while E350’s are rear wheel drive with AWD option with Mercedes 4MATIC. Despite their great power these models give respectable fuel efficiency.

The first "true" (meaning gas powered) car was invented by Karl Friedrich Benz in 1886. This was the Benz Patent Motor Wagon. Benz was indeed the founder of a company that eventually became Mercedes Benz. However, the company Mercedes Benz was not founded until 1926, and there is no car titled "Mercedes Benz". While the question has a root of truth to it, no, the first car ever made was not Mercedes Benz. Who made the first ever car? T was the first ever production car.
