No. Get off the road now. If the engine is on, you are to be attentive and ready to dodge any and all moving obstacles including errant cars, falling cargos, weather blown debris, whatever. Drive the damn car or park it.

I still can't wrap my head around getting in a car without putting on your seatbelt.

It’s 2015, for christ’s sake! Who are these kids who want to drive an actual car to learn how to drive?

I’ve never drooled or done a double-take over a reliable car. Reliability is over-rated.

There is absolutely no resemblance whatsoever? WTF are you looking at?

Actually, no. By and large, Mercedes-Benz has a wide customer base that buys cars (even the current ones) new, and preserves them for a long time. That’s mainly the old-money crowd. It’s the new-money people that sneer down their noses and say, “Oh, you have a W221? I thought they quit making those...”

Besides, people…

This might shock you, but some people don’t buy used luxury cars for the image. Rather, they buy them because they’re the best cars available at the price.

You’re missing the point.. People don’t buy stuff justto look rich, at least not those reading Jalopnik. You buy t because it's comfortable, has good depreciations vs your purchase price.. Many reasons more related to the intrinsic features of the car in question

Not necessarily. If you are mechanically inclined, or have a source for the parts at a discounted rate, it would be a much better car to own than a soul-less Impala.

Some of us don’t buy these used luxury vehicles because we want to impress others. I’m perfectly fine with myself and don’t have the need nor desire to impress strangers I’ll never know. These used luxury cars with massive depreciation are a great way to drive a vehicle with loads of luxury and build quality without…

Can confirm. One of the nicest cars I’ve ever had the pleasure to drive. I prefer this (W221) over the current W222 from a driver’s perspective even though the interior of the new one is just in a whole other class of its own. I can’t believe the price of this and with that mileage it’ll go a long way still. The W221…

Dear lord - the number of naggy vaginas picking at trivial or inconsequential features on this update is embarrassing. “B-b-b-but the high belt line will cause more accidents!” “ I know it comes with a manual but why did the show the automatic :-(?” “ E-brake means I can’t possibly do those handbrake turns that I…

And then he brings a friend, then you bring a friend, and he brings a friends, and......

Yes.
Every time I read stories like this (concerning fuels) I can’t help but think how little people know about science.
Virtually anything can be turned into a fuel, especially anything that grows. People that paid attention in General Chemistry should have figured this out.

Nailed it. That is exactly what I saw as well.

Father!

Keep stock exhaust in your garage for that one day a year you need it?

Hell, I’d even pay $17 to go see it. It looks pretty good. Can we start a Kickstarter or something to get this to be an actual movie?

Bland can be good, if it's at least handsome. Fast car without all of the ostentatious boy-racer crap - perfect.
