I see. Thanks!

Optimist.

English is not my primary language, I get the terms mixed up. Should I transcribe from swedish, it would be “clad with banknotes”.

A boat is a hole in the water, lined and sealed with banknotes.

In the vein of absurdly stupid, pointless and extravagant, I don’t see how “good mileage” fits.

You could make a 5x4 radial that would be decently balanced.

It’s just damn ugly. What is the enigma here?

I understand that most different lines of endeavors invented their own measurements of unit, and never got around to stop using them.

Interesting. Thanks!

Enlighten me: what is the difference between pipe & tube?

A 4.2L DOHC 4-valve V8 could.

I’m sure that when the day comes, they’ll just claim that autonomous cars can’t really crash, and let us roam as we like in them.

I’m a bad negotiator and always gets screwed in every deal, because of the dual character flaws that I am a pushover and like flaunting that I can afford things - so I jump to the latter part of your post:

I agree. Personally, I don’t even understand why they put twin-cam four-valve heads on engines that have cam timings that cause them to make peak power at say 5200 rpm anyway.

You are probably thinking of the M272. This car likely has the older M112 which was fine.

I dunno, I had one of those depicted - bought 6 years old at 80k miles but with the M271 engine - and the only problem it had during my two years was that an electric connector in the the front passenger seat glitched, which Mercedes fixed for me at no price. Which is odd, but I guess they wanted to pamper me as a new…

Ha ha ha. Man, that is like hearing someone say that women were better in the 60's, so they only date septuagenarians.

You converted your Camaro into a car that needed fixing on the side of the road.
