It’s just a 380SL. Not even a 450SEL, it’s a middle of the road version of a generation that’s not particularly memorable. Quick check for 1983 one with 43k is asking for 18k right now. Heck crappier version is asking for 6k USD. It’s FAR from the 300SL or the SLR. Bleh.

You could. And then get shot down by advanced enemy SAMs, that can’t even see the F-35. Adversaries don’t stay put. I’m not in favor of retiring the A-10 until the F-35 shows it can do the job, and even then it’s cheap enough it might make sense to retain it for use in permissive airspace, but it’s silly to think it…

For soft targets like insurgents and militants roaming around on motorcycles or in Toyota Hilux trucks, it’s fine. Otherwise, nothing more than publicity.

Its driven by a bad driver. It will never be ok.

If only...

My bet is they were drinking and didn’t call for help because of it.

Man. That thing actually looks pretty damn awesome.

Typical jeep owners....ruining the outdoors for the rest of us.

One might even suggest he “watch himself.”

There were some of those giant square reflectors literally directly in front of you, how did you not see this happening?

I hear that if you roll up the windows, turn off the a/c and feather the throttle you can get 3mpg out of it.

If they are speeding, they need to have their lights flashing. The problem isn’t speeding per se, it’s speeding for no reason in an unsafe manner.

Then the cop should turn on his lights.

That’s what the siren and lights are for, brah

David, can you do me a favor? I’m reading Jalopnik on my phone and I only see 17 ads on this page. I think we can squeeze a few more in without breaking up the flow. Thanks!

The thing is, the cops should never speed. They are supposed to be set the example we all emulate, and they should never exceed the speed limits unless those warning lights are going.

This is how the system is supposed to work. Completely. My faith in the process has been ever-so-slightly restored.

Okay so this one time, I convinced my friend to let us take his dads 250 California out for the day in Chicago and...well...lets just say it was one interesting day off.

I can’t hear you. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! I can’t wait until we get to dunk on China’s head again. Try to usurp our place in the global economy, will they?

Ford doesn’t care if it is your $400k or my $400k or your neighbor’s $400k. Your argument only works if they are producing into an unsold surplus, or if you could show that by accepting your specific $400k you would also be spending an amount far greater than someone else they chose.
