I have to go with 300SEL 6.3. Far, far more reliable. And also a driver's car. But yeah, the Pullman, especially the short wheelbase version, has a class and presence all its own.

You have no idea how much original Pullman maintenance costs. Not to mention the inconvenience of not being able to use it because it's in the shop for months at a time.

Digital "perspective correction" perhaps?

Eagles can't tear you limb from limb, though, unless you're a small yappy dog.

Would I pay X for a given car is a different question than "is car X worth $$s?" Given the rarity of these and recent sales, it doesn't seem like he's too much over market value, so NP.

That GTV is beautiful. Oh God, if Hollywood ever buys my screenplay, I know exactly what I'm rolling.

I tried it. It was pleasant, it made my fatigue vanish instantly, but I've never done it again. Did not get the hype. Seems like something you should buy from a vending machine when you're tired.

Yes, and if they'd been wearing seat belts they likely would've lived, as her bodyguard did (even though he was sitting the "death seat.")

You can't eat the Miata when it's worn out, though.

You can't ride a zebra, at all. They're actually quite dangerous.

It's a fun game, and has happened IRL. COINTELPRO really wasn't that long ago.

If I were writing this screenplay Food Babe would actually be working for Monsanto, to make their critics look ridiculous.

I don't see how you "get away with" that one.

Question for lawyers: what are the odds the judge's ruling barring the defense from presenting expert witnesses gets reversed on appeal?

Exactly. A new Dino.

West Virginia seceded from regular Virginia during the Civil War, to remain in the Union.

That 450 is a huge, huge rust-bucket, and hobbled by late 70s emissions gear. It's just not as cool as the car it replaced, the 300sel 6.3 liter, which is why prices haven't gone psycho, yet.

Funny. For me, eating and drinking wine is Job 1.

Laugh all you want, but if I were an industrial (or other) designer, I'd totally be sneaking pentagrams and "666" into everything.

I'm glad the list focused mainly on post-war designers, as it avoids apples vs. oranges comparisons. It would be interesting do a similar list just on designers active in the teens-forties.
