Hey Zed- I’ve had lots of new cars & as many are a lease or I want to keep miles low- I can’t wait for comparable loaner (often the loaner may be a step up as a sales technique). But I see your point you also want to play with/enjoy your new adult toy. I.e. If I do get the 3 & they give me a Model S tho or a more…

Although the GT-S does chase it’s heritage back to a McLaren, it’s an extra hundred pounds on the 911 (which effects handling), and leans more AMG vs McLaren in the setup.

Haha, well I wasn’t talking about the doors (although with Tesla it wouldn’t surprise me), but the article/lawsuit mentioned the self parking feature was part of his cause of action.

Price wise it’s only about 5k less (which is sort of surprising actually), so it’s more akin to going in with your G class wagon and getting an S class. Had you heard reports lately about huge Model S issues? Most of what I’ve heard related to the X.

When I was 1st watching that- I expected some full on transformer action to start happening!

Tesla has been extremely smug in the past, & needs to work on their PR. That said here I’m inclined to side with Tesla – I understand they give you a nice model S while yours is in the shop, and are usually pretty good about fixing these things. This sort of rings of buyers remorse– haha, especially since many of…

Great advice- you should post that story of how you know! Kind of surprised by this though, as many modern wheel drills have where you can set a tightness threshold and it’ll auto tighten to that.

“Chris Evans argued that you can’t sensibly own a new Rolls Royce, which is dreadfully shouty.” If anyone would know what is dreadfully shouty— it’s Chris McShouterface

Although the 911 has it beat in the corners, that mighty V8 is hard to not love (recently drove it in a c63).

That would work fantastically well for a shared household where they wanted say 2 cars for 3 or 4 people!

It’s a badge of honor (no pun intended). It probably means you lived in Europe or did Euro delivery at one point. Heck I knew a consulate guy who did that as his euro plates were still valid somehow

That is true- a sale is a sale for them and the profit is the same (unless they do that Bs where they stick hundreds or thousands of dealer crap on there)- which legally you can refuse to pay for in some areas. Either way, they’ll usually give you the tint, etc at cost or free if it’s not a super hot car, got a…

It’s even more than that though because most ordered cars fall in white, black, silver option- I’ve read as high as 80%+ on average, of course there are exceptions think Mustang, Corvette, Ferrari etc- but I think it’s the “my friend has that shirt in black- I want that shirt in black”. I’ve only ever owned cars…

This is something I actually asked @ the Mercedes factory. Interesting reply from the rep was for MBZ the badges are an option.

Well with an edited blog you would expect some oversight. I think that may touch on the problem so many of the writers are “editors” which probably leads to repetition.

A little disappointed it didn’t look like the Audi Quattroesque picture floating around (see below).

Haha- but isn’t this sort of common knowledge? Did we need a warning sign....

And cue the “Indy/Nascar car fans are trashy” jokes in 3,2.1.

I can hear Hollywood calling.

Black is the answer to that, it looks slick(er) in black!
