I agree with you 1000% on all counts except the last one. I’m not sure a Merc has much more structural integrity than your average family sedan these days. Gone are the day when you could drive one through a brick wall and just buff out the scratches in the paint. They all have the same plastic BS bumpers with…

I'm not sure exactly how its done, but when I had my 2002 Trans-AM WS-6 I ran it with massive headers and no cats at all. The tuning shop where I had it done was able to get it so that I could pull up to my state inspection station plug into the ODBII and their computer read that everything was fine. My state is NJ,…

You can sell it, you can buy it, you just most likely can't get it through an inspection... Now then, if you just get someone crafty and knowledgeable they will probably be able to remove the emissions codes completely out of the ECU, light goes off, problem goes away.

NICE. That's a definite pass. 2 accidents, this thing will never drive right.

I'll watch those videos when I get home (blocked from work), but it seems they are really taking it in a great direction. I can really appreciate a real metal button instead of plastic everywhere. I guess with the CLA now bringing up the rear there's room for the C to move up a bit... The interior game has gotten…

I think a more interesting question will be whether or not the production model has that much power. Making a concept with huge HP numbers is a one off and easy, making that translate to production, much less chance of that happening. That being said I seem to remember the
AllRoad being Audi’s least reliable model…

Wow, the above interior pics are the new C-class ??!! I definitely had not seen those, that looks very nice and many steps above the last 2 generations of C's I've been in. Looks like the interior wars are on which is a good thing. So to answer, yes, I was comparing to the older interior. I really like what I'm seeing…

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I personally own a CLS AMG and my good friend owns a C63 AMG. This is definitely above the plastic POS C class interior. Far above. The E-class is similar to my CLS and yes you can make arguments for which one is higher class. I like the number and style of the wood…

Ok, so you're the third person responding with China as the answer. Obviously I've missed something major here. When did Volvo stop being a Swedish car company?

Wait so where does Volvo get off making this type of vehicle? Did I miss something? Did I go into a coma for 20 years and come out in parallel universe where Volvo makes S-class grade SUV's? I'm so confused. That thing is beautiful and very unexpected from this manufacturer. Bravo I guess for stepping up their game.…

I hear what you’re saying, but leaving the scene of an accident is criminal offense I believe. What I really was referring to is that I thought the driver was just immensely drunk. Only found out it was a blood sugar issue after I asked the cops what was up with him. I certainly wasn’t as angry when I found out it was…

I’m going to have to side with OneMoreTime on this one. I live in NJ and we also have our gas pumped for us. Maybe its because I grew up with it, but I prefer it that way. Yes I have pumped my own gas in other states and when I ride my bike. However, I think the advantages far outweigh the negatives. The attendants…

There was a time when I was at a stop sign and a car comes by on the main street swerving so erratically I couldn’t believe just alcohol could cause that. The driver proceeded to sideswipe two parked cars on two separate swerves just in the time he was passing me. I couldn’t let this go. I called the police…

I completely agree about Forbes being a very legitimate source.... They have teams of people that are employed for the sole purpose of accurately calculating such figures based on a number of sources of information. I’m sure there is a large degree of variance for some individuals and they may not be spot on, but the…

I assure you that Forbes does not just GUESS at someone’s net worth. They have teams of people that are employed for the sole purpose of accurately calculating such figures based on a number of sources of information. I’m sure there is a large degree of variance for some individuals and they may not be spot on, but…

I’m with you here. I’m also not seeing anything wrong with having 200m in assets. Especially if you’re still raking in the money each year. Your family for many generations is already taken care of at that level. Now once he stops making money it will be interesting to see if he ends up in a cardboard box on a Vegas…

Well to be honest they are quite closely related if you think about it. A model and a hooker can both be acquired with money, the only difference is how much. They are both selling sex, just depends on the circumstance. They are both devoid of intelligence. I could go on for a while but I would not like to be accused…

You have just hit the nail on the head right here. We are 100% in line here. The 318 or whatever shitbox that was before became maybe 5% better with the M3 engine in it. Unfortunately that still makes it 95% crap. Crap handling, crap styling, crap interior, just crappy front to back.

I’m not saying the car isn’t cool, but the simple fact is that its a 96’. I would pay $3k. No more. You know, let me rephrase that cool part. I think the idea of the M3 engine in the compact is cool. I HATED the actual 318 or whatever that was. Even when I was in high school and this was brand new I thought it was one…

I'm just curious, but you've owned a few W220's? Why a few? Why is your avatar pic of a VW? Again just curious because I don't meet a lot of VW fans that own multiple Mercs...
