Yeah, but that $75k half-ton pickup is fully tax-deductible under Section 126. Which makes it, in effect, half price. And a $75k Ram or Ford King Ranch *is* nicer than all the $37k cars I can think of.

Ah, yes, the off-road SLK from “Adventure Capitalist.” One of the most cringe-worthy travel diaries, but one of the coolest Mercedes builds.

In keeping with my username, I have commentary: Yellow Mercedes are historically correct and very good.

Huh. We’ve got an S52 clownshoe and I’ve never had trouble getting parts for it, even locally. But then again we have been lucky and haven’t had to do any body/cosmetic work on it. Or much of anything, other than the usual maintenance. The biggest pain in the ass (literally) fix was as the nylon seat track bushings,…

Until this moment I was on the fence about the Mercedes-McLaren SLR. Now it’s definitely in my “do not want” column.

I’m with InfiniteAntar. The Multipla’s design team were chuffed that senior management let their imaginations run wild. They created a memorable design icon in the otherwise completely boring mini-minivan vehicle segment. I’m sure there were high-fives all around when it got green-lighted.

Yeah, I think he added a zero to the price that doesn’t belong there. Or maybe if the rims are authentic Cragars I’d give him tree-fiddy.

That’s what I said!

I had a $40k Boxster, and it wasn’t a good car either. Like, if you’ve never driven a convertible sports car or a Porsche before, it’s fun. But if you’ve driven other convertibles, other Porsches, or other sports cars, it’s not so great.

Yup. 225 horses and 225 torques in the Z3 body makes for a car that feels fast. It’s a great pick.

IIRC the bumper exemption was available only at very small production numbers, and is no longer available. The US Elise took advantage of the same exception.

I own one of these bastards, and it’s easily more fun than cars that cost twice as much. Everything on the suspension is adjustable, and mine was set up by Chris Mora’s team when he was still with Spyker. (Chris is now at Singer.) It’s much more neutral than a Ferrari 360 or 430, yet somehow doesn’t bite you with…

Yeah, this video is just another in a long list of things that makes me love Chris Harris.

Huh. Well, erm, I stand corrected. I’ve just been mixing the packet of powder into sour cream all these years.

Whoa whoa whoa. Mayonnaise?! Ranch dressing is based on sour cream with a little bit of powdered buttermilk. No mayo.

The next 5-10 years are make or break for Ford, too. Of all the world’s automakers, the only ones I’d say are certain to exist 10 years from now are Toyota, Volkswagen-Audi Group, and BYD. Everyone else has fixed costs that are too high for their declining demand.

Ding ding ding. You get it.

Sorry about your Passat. 

Need a more vibrant blue, like BMW Estoril Blue. A complex metallic bronze, like Aston Martin Kopi Bronze. And a darker metallic yellow, like Porsche Saffron Yellow.
