Plasma bolt to knock the blade out of his hands and hit him again as he jumped backwards to get it. Probably the easiest fight in the game except for the initial shot as starting placement sucked.  Miss that game.

So a Porsche Version of one of these?

Yeah, that’s my thoughts. I had my last car for ten years and I plan to have my current one for at least that long, but a ten model year difference has been a HUGE quality of life upgrade.

Replacing more often than five years feels very wasteful to me.

Sure, less landfill space for a triple longevity car

Stainless steel frame with an aluminum skin? I assume they understand galvanic corrosion and have provided a way to keep the two from interacting with each other in the way they do. The body’s rectangular lattice means the skin is the triangulating member (if you will). I don’t think that’s a good start, considering…

“I have a 30 year old toaster works perfectly. Shouldn’t our cars last at least that long.”

I love Italian specific side markers. I have a w123 and covet them. They are super expensive on ebay, like $400. Can’t quite justify it on a $3000 car.

Wolfsburg Authentic Patina?

Call DT. This is a brilliant idea for a blog series.

Did someone say rusty claptrap??? Haaazaaa!

You just reminded me that I never beat the final boss in Strider.

You could probably fly to Germany, stay at a nice inn or B&B for a week, buy two of these and ship them to the states and have money left over to have your sanity evaluated by a professional for the cost of this one. No dice.

“Patina is SWEATY!”

The 6 tubes on top are missile launchers, not engines.

Reminds me more of top down games (1942, etc.)

Hooray! This makes me very happy, because the last I heard they’d lost the tow and it was sitting in the waves taking on water and awaiting rescue. That its going to be preserved and put on display is even better as these are my all time favourite crazy cold war technology project (and there’s lots to choose from). I…
