They didn’t want a typical Buick buyer. They wanted to attract new buyers.

I don’t get it. Obama had nothing but wonderful things to say about Cuba’s universal health care system. If it’s as good as he says it is, why spend all that US taxpayer money on his own personal OR during his trip?

I don’t get it. I thought Cuba had the best healthcare system in the World. Why waste tax payer money?

Those rock formations are more attractive.

I was crewing for them. And I came away from this weekend (5th or 6th year I’ve been doing this) realizing you never come out of a rally in better shape than you started. Even if the event went well. But that’s kind of the point. Many extra strength Aleve were taken by everyone on this crew last weekend.

They don’t smoke when the valves are properly adjusted and you have good valve seals. As a Mercedes diesel aficionado, it just seems like they all do because Mercedes diesel owners are usually incredibly cheap people who don’t properly maintain their vehicles/try to get by with minimum maintenance.

Once you learn how to drive a slow car, these really aren’t that bad in modern traffic, especially in comparison to an original Beetle. If you are insistent on more power and want to keep it with a Mercedes drivetrain, either find a 280E which is the 2.8 liter straight-6 with about 180hp or swap in a M117 V8, such as…

There is never a T for turbo... a 300D is designated as turbo or nonturbo by the trunk badge on the right side, which reads either “Diesel” or “Turbo Diesel”. A 300TD denotes a wagon, whereas a Mercedes has never been badged as 300DT, 300CDT, or 300TDT.

The price is a just right and negotiable $4K, which I’m betting can be had for around $3500.

Ideally, Koenigsegg. That might bring me to a Chrysler dealership.

na uh, my grandma posts all sorts of things.

Man, if people are impressed with this, they’re going to be super impressed when they find out I own a Veyron, a 918, a Formula 1 car, about ten Ferraris both new and vintage, and dozens of other cars and that I’ve driven many of them competently on some of the most famous race tracks in the world.

But I want it to be real, so it is

That could possibly be the most painfully bizarre news story I’ve ever read. My condolences for having to live in the Florida of the northeast.

Blood alcohol level of 0.295? She’s a pro. An amateur drunk would have passed out long before reaching that blood alcohol level.

I’ve been to Waffle House numerous times, I’m told

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW.

NP, I assume, but I’d rather spend the same amount of earmarked SAAB money on infinitely cooler pre-GM fare.

On the one hand, it’s a Viggen. On the other, it’s a 16-year old GM with 170,000 miles.

The Viggen is a 9-3, but on crack. It has the bigger B235R engine (from the 9-5), uprated suspension, larger wheels, brakes, beefed up clutch, and of course all the bells & whistles and body skirts/panels. I’ve owned one since 2005 and I still love it, torque steer and all :)
