Fail.

When my oldest was born (17 years ago) got a 1984 Mercedes 300TD 4 door.

I don’t think anyone under the age of 50 is going to understand any of those references 

thats a 300D not a TD, TD came with rims. D with hubcaps.

Thousands of years ago as a wee little car mechanic I cut my teeth changing what was supposed to be the oil in these things. Inexplicably the mercury and topaz engines would turn oil into thick black sludge after less than 1500 miles. I would say this is the last malaise car, really uninspiringly awful vehicle.

As a motorcyclist and former bicycle messenger:

I counterintuitively get gas on my Friday commute home; because nobody wants to get gas on a Friday commute home :)

I challenge you to find a bad car view, of any car, from the time.

I hate to say it ALL the American cars in the late 70s were total shit.  Growing up I could really never tell the difference between Ford Chevy Dodge of that era because they were always garbage. I grew up the son of a weirdo who drove exclusively German cars in rural farming America. I was always blown away at how…

As a landlord once you start buying property you keep your old pos.  Cars are the worst investment.  

Costco. Cause the gas is cheapest does anything else really mater?

I’m old enough to remember, sitting in the backseat of my dad’s VW fastback, driving past the gas lines in the early 1970s on the East Coast. We saw gas lines all the time and dad never freaked out. I just remember him chuckling under his breath 22 mph...

Tesla will build a truck that will save everything!!!!! They’re the best company ever!!!!!!!

Hey buddy watch out a bunch of limies are gonna tell you a shooting brake can only have two doors. WHAT A BURN.

CAFE numbers for 2017 combined is 28.9 mpg. How are the big three going to get to that number without selling small engines? Is the profit going to offset the enormous fine? Or have they already been pulling a VW and cooked the books?

What does this do to the CAFE numbers?

 I'm calling BS. OK you live in this neighborhood show me a picture of the crash site four hours of water there should be an impression there.
