The first time I ever even knew these existed was in the summer of ‘99, which says something as I was just out of high school then and well into my love of cars, when a friend of the family bought one used. The second time I saw one in the wild was in Newport Beach in 2017.

I wanna know more about that 98,000 mile lease return!

That interior is great!  

In 2003, a friend’s dad was sick of crappy American cars so he bought a Mazda Tribute lol

Lol, I think these were north of $200k when new.

The gatling gun headlights on the third generation Q45 deserve a mention.

The more I learn about these, the more I want one.  I had no idea there was a power key to unlock all the horses.

Wow, just looked for one with the manual transmission and found one on ebay with 145k miles for $24,500.

During the early Aughts I thought these looked so dated compared to the R230, but after a couple generations I’ve come back around to finding these ones exceedingly attractive.

Absolutely. When I was shopping LS430s I was shocked at how expensive replacement of the air suspension components were compared to the similar fixes on S-Classes from that era. Because air suspension was only an option on the LS430 vs. standard on the W220, the parts were so much cheaper on the Mercs.

Finally Genesis is getting with the program.  Have been watching G90s for awhile now, and in order to get the top tier you’ve had to get it with a 5.0L V8.  My 80 mile round trip commute has me shopping for cars with better fuel efficiency when I replace my LS430, so I’ve been reluctant to consider Genesis.

Mine was two-tone green! I loved it while it was mine.

I second this.  I had a 1976 Ford F150 that was just gorgeous as my very first car.  The 460 in it made for a thirsty ride, but gas was extremely cheap the summer after I graduated and $20 would usually fill up one tank and put a little in the reserve.

But there are like 5 lights in short succession in that area due to the parks, and the intersection in question isn’t even the first one drivers would encounter coming from the north or south. I have a hard time believing people are just forgetting there is a light there.

Yep, it happened to my in my ‘76 F150

I wondered why I was told to duck as I approached and left the helicopter on a tour I took when the rotors were so high off the ground.

Which will lead to even more unintended pregnancies.

Did you learn about birth control and how to prevent and unwanted pregnancy?

You are correct. A significant number of Republican politicians see abortion as a black and white issue in which there is no grey area, which is why women are dealing with doctors waiting while their patients suffer until their hospital’s legal department signs of on procedures that would save the mother’s life. Or…

You’re so easily baited that you clicked on the article, read it, and then commented here on it.  Also, for the record, children can get pregnant, so it isn’t just “women”.
