Furthermore, the notion that the pedestrians and the occupants are at equal risk is head-hurtingly idiotic. These questions present the only outcome as 100% death rate for whoever takes the brunt of the collision. That’s pure bullshit.

Oh for fuck’s sake! Can we please give up on the stupid fucking trolley problem as relates to autonomous cars?

This one pegs the bullshit meter to the max. I used to live in Texas and had an Impala. Sitting in traffic in 105 degree heat with dew points near 90 degrees had zero effect on how hot the engine ran. Police cars have upgraded cooling systems to help them deal with being used harder than civilian cars. They’re…

So, I did a quick bit of math and here is what I came up with

OK, so HRC had improperly marked emails on a server that was not the official State Department server, and people are all up in arms that maybe some classified information maybe COULD HAVE BEEN compromised (let’s pay no attention to the fact that the actual government servers on which her emails would normally be WERE…

If the body survives and you fix it when it breaks instead of letting niggly things accumulate these things will eat miles. Pic of mine from this morning.

I guess I made the right call with getting a ‘02 E320 a couple years ago then.

Digging through some old forum posts, the Brabus B55 tune is apparently good for 390hp/tq, and cost a whopping $10,000 or so for new cams and valves, so I’d say that’s a NP.

B-B-BUT W220 IS BAD! W140 IS BETTER BECAUSE ITS OLDER. I hate the 140 chassis.

Looks more like a Puma to me.

good for them. too bad bmw wont follow suit. I don’t even care for the systems with mics in the engine bay or sound tubes. nvh ruined the good old days.

It’s not the number of exhausts, but the placement:

You win! Now, FINNISH HIM!

No offense, but you’re wrong. I live in a rural area. The nearest town is 15 minutes by car, on two roads which are high traffic and have no shoulder. There aren’t many jobs in that town, because it’s small. The next nearest towns are accessible either by a string of rural backroads or going on the highway. How do you…

For a low-content W220, I suggest looking at an E430. Same engine as an S430, tighter footprint, less fancypants stuff to fail.

Because I don’t want to work today, I watched this video on 2x speed so I could make a list of all of the issues with the car so you don’t have to watch the youtube equivalent of War and Peace.
