Interestingly enough, the two cars I chose are sold under different brands with different model names... The Mercury Grand Marquis and the Ford Police Interceptor (a special trim of the Crown Victoria). But yeah, they're the same car with different badges.

Oh constantly.

or when you're doing something bad....

My most common mixups: 05-07ish Acura MDX rear and Jeep Compass Rear, the Ford Edge and the copycat Toyota Venza, and the new Nissan Pathfinder and Lexus RX.

It's there... it's just integrated very subtly into the dash trim! I almost missed it too.

and you didn't even get to Australia

A civil engineer friend is excited about the possibilities of an almost passive mass monitoring of road quality and failures.

Sketching God.

...if your restaurant served mullets.

What's cooler... than bein' cool?

I got a drumstick from the show, beat up, with CHRIS DANGEROUS printed on it. It was from around when Tick Tick Boom came out so it's all white as were their outfits and instruments.

I want a real BIG CONVERTIBLE! One with FOUR REAL SEATS! Even the E-Class and the Bimmer 6 couldn't fit four adults comfortably.

Nice! I remember seeing Chevy and Pontiac kits on Holden utes when I traveled in Oz, looks great!

Chevrolet has since countered with their 2015 Uplander concept.

Good old fashioned trivial and inconsequential stuff. Like twenty-thousand dollars.

The point of contention was originally that it would be ridiculous to "take" one over the other. The Audi is the cheap choice, so I personally wouldn't choose it if price wasn't an object.

The S-Class starting price is ~$20k more than every other brand's large sedan. But as long as another Audi fan assured you he is satisfied with his purchase of an A8 "even though I could have bought an S-Class instead," that's totally not ridiculous and I'm a jerk for thinking so.

As ridiculous as hypothetical situation in which you are choosing between 'taking' an S8 or a new S-Class today? ;)

"I'd take an S8 over the new SClass today."
That is ridiculous.
