Exactly. Love that sound.

That “awful gear noise” is what straight cut gears sound like. Because racecar.

Whats the big deal? Its not the first time a Mercedes has taken a jaunt through the woods.

Considering the way this guy is driving a multi million dollar near race car on gravel roads and considering the event this is at, he probably is one of the best drivers in the world.

Just who appointed you Jalopnik safety nanny, anyway? I bet your real fun at parties.

That’s gear whine from a transmission with straight cut gears. I actually really like it.

Dude, you want a really hard one? (lol)

Sedans all look the same? Quick, is that a RAV-4, CR-V, or Kia Sportage!?!

Yeah didnt you know that less weight=worse gas mileage?

$1800? Time to add to the heard Tracy.

Turn signals. They should be amber. Always. Never red.

What REALLY bakes my noodle is that the Germans actually go out of their way to make US/Canada-specific taillights with red directionals when the ones they use in Europe (with ambers) would be completely compliant in the US.

Utah has a state safety inspection. I believe it is every two years.

I don’t blame you for not watching the video, but he clearly states he bought the car used for $60k.

how can you claim to be thrifty and buy a hundred grand car?(okay.. bout 70 if its just a 75)... i mean... thats a lifetime of $500 disposable beaters right there

He claims to be “thrifty”, but would prefer to sell his car for probably a loss of several thousand dollars instead of buying $800 worth of tires.

He said the tires lasted 8 ~ 9 months. That seems like with the current wear he should be changing the tires every 5 months. That seems a bit unreasonable to me. Something is wrong with the driver or the car.

This is terrifying.

Deep down, they found out at some point that it’s going to cost $2,000 to replace rubber-band tires on a 22" rim, and they can barely afford the payments as it is...

I see that all the time here in California, and I can kind of understand it. There’s no snow, and very little rain for long stretches of time, so you might not realize your tires are shot.
