We bought a GLC300 for my wife 2 years ago.  It comes with 2 versions of 18" wheels, and optional 19, 20, and I think 21.  It was my wife’s car so I was trying to let her make her own choices, but I was pretty scared she would pick the biggest wheels.  But her concern was she wanted the plushest ride possible, so I

Crack Pipe, because it’s too good to be true. The listing isn’t just broken English: It’s consistent with wire scams.

...these are found with just a bit more miles for like half the price.

Assuming it’s all legit. I like the low miles, great color combo.

“You provided nothing to back up any of your claims in this article.”

This looks like a stagecoach

It’s because way too many designers are glorified stylists with no understanding of or care about engineering and their heads in the clouds (or up their asses—having gone to school with them I found that even my ego was flyweight in comparison to their heavies). A real designer should have a general understanding of

They’re great on this car, but it’s all about proportions.  That’s why some people hate donks with their ridiculously oversized wheels (I just think they’re funny)... and if you took these 10" wheels and put them on an F-150, they’d look ridiculous as well.  It’s all about proportionality.

What I want to know is what’s driving this trend. Who was it decided that big wheels are more desirable, and why did it stick? What’s the history behind this?

“Also, couldn’t a farmer legally set up a tractor service center to work on their own tractor? 3rd party services were legalized in the 70's(?) for cars”

If this was only Deere vs Farmers, I would be right there with you.

Due to not specifying Gordon-Byrne’s full name or role (I’d read it as someone in Deere PR,) I legitimately thought that was actually the intent.

Theres a difference here.

I genuinely don’t understand the farming community. They seem to vote most commonly for candidates that are the farthest from their own best interests.

Most times you can't even get part numbers from J-D unless someone has posted them online. Used to work at a heavy-duty shop. Deere was always the worst to deal with and the most expensive.

I imagine that doing so would be silly expensive or have ludicrous hoops to jump through.

If the courts hadn’t bastardized DMCA, this wouldn’t be an issue. If I own something, I own it. If I go in and brick my tractor because I screwed around with the code, that’s on me.

Kenney wasn’t buying it. He wrote back: “Gay, thanks but why was it OK years ago?”

Are we still calling this thing ugly or are we out of the group-think hate? I think it looks pretty good from a 3/4 view.
