Don't believe all the media hype. I've lived here 33 years, in the South. Sure there are guns in this country - I've seen several guns in my life, but I've never seen a gun pointed at a person.

Hi.

Too soon? Too soon? :)

Is the Viper a great driver's-car? No.

Frankly, "Model S" seems much closer to "Model T" than "Model E". It's just next door, while E is way down the block.

Holy mother of posts Batman!

Well, according to Toyota and the Camry, it's actually none of those things:

I agree with everything you said right up until the last paragraph. Violence is not acceptable in this situation. If you ever do make "sure the kid couldn't ever ride again" (presumably by violent means), you will have committed assault and battery - a far more serious crime than riding like a complete jerkoff.

bullshit...my first car was automatic...the next 14 werent. I drive through really heavy nj traffic everyday in my dd or beater, both manual trans in stop and go traffic and it doesnt bother me one bit. maybe you lost your man card somewhere

8.) Automatics can make sense

The 918 did the Nurburgring in 7.14 on road tyres. We don't know what tyres the McLaren was on. Chris Harris has been known to be wrong (many times)

Not true. I saw one on the road. I distinctly heard some tire noise.

While looking for pictures for the S-Class, I found this Mercedes press picture from the car's launch.
