350 horsepower pulling 4,500 pounds? An E63 wagon this is not.

So it’s a performance stamp on the exact same standard engine option.

Also scales with the cheapness of gasoline. No government involvement there. None. At. All.

Only the old ones. The younger ones still have to land their think tank jobs.

Imagine going to the effort to add lanes to the whole goddamned beltway and then gate them behind tolls so they arent even used. IMAGINE.

Mass transit is evil socialism but giving billions and billions to private sector leeches who will do nothing with it to actually help the problem is fine.

Stop trying to make a U.S. Top Gear happen. It’s not going to happen.

Oh my god. I hope some of it can be salvaged. RIP to the two guys caught up in it.

I was going to say “efficient,” but a 2010 GLK350 4Matic could apparently only manage 18 mpg in combined driving.

I get that it’s only a few grand but if this doesnt scream Someone Elses Project then I dunno what does.

I do Nazi the point of these tired jokes.

Ah yes, the old standby of multiplying your labor force many times over.

I don’t know if it counts as desperate measures, but I find that it’s easiest to just not spend money on anything else. I have basic cable/internet service and eat lunch out a bit but beyond that just sitting on my post-bill earnings makes it pretty easy to have money on call when something arises.

Those are a feature. The infinitely appearing bits of food can make a few pounds of fertilizer for your garden every year.

Hard agree. AMG used to mean a lot more than “top level trim Mercedes” but here we are. I’ll stick with my 2003 S55 thanks.

My favorites are the companies who make the metal part in China but the plastic cover part in America and label the plastic piece “made in America” front and center. I’ve seen this on many garden tools/hoses/etc.

And, look, if we really, really want to try and be objective, can you tell me that the Multipla is really so much worse than a similarly-sized modern SUV with mainstream styling, like, say, a Ford EcoSport?

Crack Pipe doesn’t do this justice. This is Fault Line Pipe territory.

I’m a simple commenter. I see five figures, I vote CP.

No, but we’re expecting that expecting the driver to do so will make the driver liable instead of the manufacturer when it self-drives into someone.
