I had a first gen 2006 CLS55 AMG. What a machine. I loved the looks and the monster torque was just immense for that day and age. I remember getting this thing and just pulling off from every light at full throttle for the entire first year. It also handled better than anything this size had the right to. I also don’t…

In theory it looks cool. But when I look at the pic of the door open my brain says, “Don’t sit down in that.” Unfortunately that means the deal is off. 

Since there was a “no flipping” clause I wouldn’t be surprised if Ferrari goes and sues the next owner. Or the current one for selling it. 

This car has more flags than a Russian military parade! I usually lean toward the NP much more often than the average Jalop AND I happen to like E39 M5's... BUT. This thing is clearly ragged nearly out of existence. That camber on the rear speaks to the mentality of the owner. Either that’s on purpose... bad, or he…

OK. I see what you’re saying. To be honest the EQS will not take all of the sales. The kind of people that buy the S-class are usually conservative in adopting new things. They will certainly run out the new S-class model for the duration of its production. That being said I do think you’re probably right that it may…

That’s so interesting. I hate the exterior look of it, but I love technology and I would literally get this car for the dash. I’m in the current generation S-class and would love even more tech, more screen, more lights, more buttons. Which this EQS has all of and in spades.

“Cheap as chips” would at any other time have been appropriate alliteration, but the current chip shortage and consequent chip price spike has been affecting many markets including automobile manufacturing. Chips are unfortunately not very cheap right now. Also I don’t think anyone in the market for a Mercedes wants a…

I agree this EQS unfortunately does not look good and the proportions are off. The dash to axle ratio you mention is something I’ve never thought of before, but a good point. I guess we’re used to recognizing a long hood as the sign of a big engine which often coincides with a luxury car. This being electric it…

Uhm, you’re serious with that comment? The brand new S-class was just announced. It is going to run in parallel with this new EQS model and will run for the usual 5-6 years.

Mercedes as a company has been making cars for over 100 years. Lucid is a brand new company. If you want to talk about issues both technical and build quality wise in a new manufacturer we have a very recent example in Tesla. While the tech is cool the quality is pure dumpster fire and that’s even after being around…

This is not the S class. The new S class is also here and you’ll start seeing them for 2022. This is the EQS. Their all new all electric vehicle, brand new everything, sharing 0 parts with the S-class. I love tech and I love this interior. I think this exterior is one of the most bland and terrible designs, but I…

You had me at sex van... 

Ah man... the time to get one was right about 2 years ago. You could find a decent deal, now they’re climbing especially the nicer examples such as the WS-6 and manual cars. I think they are becoming collectible and the demand is just growing. I loved mine, it had all the bolt ons and my headers went into a Y-pipe…

So let’s see you’re a liberal and so you’ve gotten butthurt on the behalf of sir Torchinsky. Sorry I offended you :) BTW, I’m not a conservative either, I don’t like organized religion, anti abortion laws, or many other agenda items that are typically aligned with the right. I just specifically don’t like the whiny…

I’ve owned many 4WD vehicles. One of them was an RDX with AWD. It had the absolute worst garbage 4WD system I’ve ever experienced. It takes probably over a full second to transfer power from the front wheels when they slip to the rear. The car is normally in front wheel drive. So let’s say you’re at a light in the…

The 4th gen Trans-AM was one of the best looking American muscle cars ever created. It has a huge following and the fact that your simpleton tastes can’t grasp its greatness doesn’t say much for your overall character. That said looks are subjective and you probably like fat chicks over Victoria Secret models too.…

Hey man, I just gotta step in and say... Generally I’m on your side of the argument, I think everyone should be able to have their cameras. In almost all situations it makes us all safe. BUT. I think you’re being way harsh on alphapacaprime... He has said nothing that would make me think there’s anything wrong with…

You have a good point. I obviously don’t have cameras pointed at anyone’s backyard. But my front facing cameras are getting the 3 houses across the street. They aren’t capturing anything that someone driving by in a car doesn’t see. I don’t have audio on my cameras either, its just video feeds. The backyard cameras…

This certainly sounds like a disaster. I have four 1080p cameras that I installed on my house after my car got keyed while parked in front of my house. I eventually caught who did it, took that person to court and due to overwhelming video evidence was able to get a really nice chunk of cash that I was supposed to use…

Percentage wise, not total dollar amount. You’re right though, that aint cool. My effective tax rate sucks a D compared to the rollers....
