China could pull it off, it can throw enough money at it, but it is not allowed by the ‘free’ world because it cannot buy the hi-tech machinery because of ‘national security’.

We wanted China to build all kind of stuff for us from plush toys, plastic crap, cheap electronics like radios and TVs and iPhones but let’s not…

And the ride would definitely be quiet when in the back.

Looks like an E-type to me from the side.

I actually don’t think this is a bad car. Can’t say if it would sell well,
but nowadays everything is 2+2 (Porsche Panamera and Ferrari FF and GTC4Lusso for example)

Do people think terrorists are driving in -NEW- Land Cruisers? Is it possible they were ‘bought’ second hand or, for $0 as in ; stolen?

In those cases restricting sales of NEW cars isn’t going to help much to curb the terrorist issue.

Talks about famous red Brembo calipers.

Shows radioactive yellow calipers.

Mercedes should license Tesla’s autopilot hard and software.
And augment it with radar.

Let’s not forget doing 63 in a 45 zone isn’t just a little bit too fast. It is way too fast. 

I really prefer an SUV. It seems many others do as well hence wagons are going the dinosaur way.

Mind you, we have wagons in the family (from Renaults to Mercedeses) but I am pretty happy with (an old model) SUV (Mercedes ML).

It feels so much more free, open, roomy.

A friend wanted a Volvo wagon or an XC60. We drove…

Highendcustomers and debt? Nah. Someone spending $100k on a car IN GENERAL isn’t doing that while in debt. I might be wrong.

Not sure what you are insuring for just $117 a month but that’s considered cheap in many countries.

An all-risk insurance, in China, for example, for an 11 year old Mercedes can be as high as $380 (USD). Per month.

I don’t mind she is religious.

She drove a car, at 3 digit speeds, she rammed people, ignored a red light, endangered her child and let go of the wheel.

I see plenty of reasons to put her in jail, for a long time.

There she can preach all day, in a very safe place, without a car, without the possibility to endanger her…

same here. first time I’m fairly sure (95%) I heard Yanny and then just Laurel. Perhaps the video is a trick !

I like what he did. He wanted to see if it could be done, there probably was some history with the car and he did it. Great job! The problem is that it didn’t necessarily add a significant amount of money to the car, the parts are worth more than the whole package in this case.

Would it have been say 300 horsepower and…

“Prior to launching from the berm, the driver in question was involved in a hit-and-run accident. She appeared to be driving significantly faster than the 25 mph zone allowed for, and she’d been driving backwards on Highway 99, exiting an on-ramp.”

Eh, what ?

Guys, F1 cars jumping was a joke. Of course they can jump, but upon impact the about 0.01 inch travel of the suspension would bottom out and everything would probably like be a LEGO project that was dropped from a 3 story building.

Fooking bizarre

Or this !

F1 cars for sure can jump better further and higher!

If F1 becomes more like karting, then attending F1 and watching it will be much more fun. Also more chance for drivers to play a bit. If the points you can win (or lose) are less per (short) race then you adjust strategy, play with different tires and what not.

Imagine 2 shorter sprint races on a Saturday (e.g. 10…

A BMW should be fine, should stay well within your $100,000 budget for depreciation and maintenance in 5 years.
