Don’t know where you are, but in the US, 43% of the population pays no income tax.

I really hope you don’t believe that socialism gets you free anything..

I’ve owned a 2012 fwd 3.6 for 3 years. It’s nimble, inexpensive, and the uconnect is pretty good. It’s not a mercedes inside, but it was the cheapest 3 row SUV I could buy new, and it’s been inexpensive and reliable for years now. The way my wife drives, I replace the front tires more often, but whaddayagonna do.. I…

I currently own a 72 220d with the same color scheme. it’s rad. Anal point of fact though, the 220’s are w115 cars. :) Only the 6 cylinder cars are w114’s..

Cool article, but there’s a couple things you’re missing:

Meh, that’s what testing is for. I give the development team mad props for driving the piss out of it. Besides, you know any engineer worth his/her salt will eagerly use the data gleaned from the accident for analysis.

The new Camaro is 7/10ths the size of the old one, ok. Then, The ND miata is 8/10ths of the NEW Camaro. If we use the ATS as the size guide since it’s the same platform:

8/10ths in any single dimension is cubed for volume calculation. 8/10ths cubed is .512, so they have the same weight density as a miata. Impressed now?

Excellent, a literal littoral.

You didn’t get those for free, they tacked on .5c / KWH to your bill to pay for them. Check your statements.

I know this may make me naive, but if this gets passed it opens the market for the automaker who purposely allows modifications. I hate the idea of this so much that it makes me puke for the state of our nation (You really want to tell me I can’t modify something I own?!?) but the one saving grace is there will be a…

Ahh, yes, I used the wrong word. For her, I mean laid back when I say cool.

Doesn’t matter what I’m driving, when they see my wife they won’t be looking at the car. :)

Oh my gosh, I wish I could star this so many more times. Every time I hear some yuppie douche complain about the "horrible service" they got somewhere because there were only 3 ice cubes in their free water, or sue their neighbor because they painted their house a color that they don't approve of, I want to hand in…

At least they’re copying decent stuff now.. :)

That’s really not a bad thing. The Pentastar is light, powerful, and efficient. Also, 300+Hp without EGR or DI is pretty impressive.

I wish I had extra points to award you for the HVAC settings alone. It’s absolutely mind-boggling what percent of the population has no idea how to properly adjust HVAC. “Did you know that you can turn down the temp slightly instead of shutting off the fan?” or “You know, it doesn’t have to be either ON or OFF, but…

Years ago, I was selling cell phones in the Central Valley of California. This part of CA is easily 40% Hispanic population, and we'd frequently get farm workers in the store who were dusty and sweaty from an honest day's work. These customers often were not helped very well due to appearance, but I've always been…

The only possible way that pic could have been better is if the RIO's call-sign was potatoes.

Totally reminds me of Blaine the Mono
