The irony of a self-described yuppie complaining about not receiving a perceived deserved amount of public services in neighborhoods that were previously entirely made up of underserved working class minority populations is overwhelming.

Not in New York you don’t, no stand your ground laws like backwards ass Florida.

Jesus, did Jeremy pick the music? He seems like exactly the sort of old man that would think liking that atrocious song would make him more hip and relevant.

So a car stopped after a police cruiser with its lights on appeared in the rearview? The cop then lost control and crashed because they were traveling too fast and following to closely? Sorry what crime has been committed here?

The manual is actually not terrible. Which is saying something because Benz has no idea how to make a clutch with any feel or a shifter that doesn’t suck. At least not on the .0000001% of US bound cars they equip with one.

I always enjoy flying by the all the slipping and sliding Range Rovers and GL550's around Boston with my E30. A good set of snow tires, a mechanical locking rear diff, a manual transmission and someone who understands car control trumps all wheel drive all day long.

They really need to feed these tigers better, first one dragged a woman off into the bush, now a bumper?

And not one of those engines is the high performance AMG variant, those are run of the mill, under-stressed, base motors. AMG motors such as the M156 have a habit of stretching head bolts and seizing exhaust cams.

Hey Tavarish, since your always going on about how awesome your S class is (It isn’t, the W220 S class was the biggest piece of crap Benz has built in decades save for the W203) lets look into the “reliability of those engines:

For slightly more than the cost of all those broken tools he could have bought a Snap On breaker bar and saved himself six hours.

Anything in the settlement saying you have to be in possession of the car prior to the ruling or can I start scouring craigslist for some beater TDI’s to scoop up and have VW buy back at a profit?

Are we sure this wasn’t an honor killing from a Christian extremist?

Can’t condone this sort of behavior on public streets but anyone who has ridden on shitty pothole-ridden NYC roads at any speed can attest to how crazy and how much skill is required to ride this fast:

“, including the most stunning Ducati 900 you’ll ever see.”

Nope, those come from Walt Siegel ... and they can actually be ridden better/harder/faster than the original.

My girlfriend works for Masterpiece and put together a slide show with some better resolution pictures here:

I would guess this fix is going to be the addition of an SCR catalyst in concert with a DEF injection system. Considering the real issue EPA was throwing a fit about was NOx this plus software alterations should be all thats required to make them compliant. Most modern diesels use a similar system but VW has long…

Also not a bad idea to drop a few PSI of tire pressure if its going to be cold and rainy.

Sean, did you So-Cal riders even know what rain was before this past week?

Thats why they added reverse! So you can back your behemoth out of the Starbucks lot without straining yourself in front of all your RTW GS buddies!
