You don’t seem like a proud former owner at all.

I agree on the lowering. It’s an AMG; it’s already low compared to other E-classes, and it’s been engineered to handle way the hell better than some 5 minute slam job. That kind of mod and those kind of wheels reek of the kind of judgment that could easily bleed into maintenance.

That was remarkably well written and enlightening on the history while at the same time being an entertaining read. You definitely have a good style and depth to your writing.

At this point I’m pretty sure every drunkspin post is designed to troll people who like the most popular beers of a certain style, which invariably will alienate a very high percentage of this blog’s readers for two reasons:

This is some of the best narrative storytelling I’ve read in a while. The twist was brilliant.

I have to admit that coming in here and seeing my two favorite pumpkin beers ranked last and second to last seemed almost like a joke. There’s no f’ing way those are last place. I’ve had much worse pumpkin beer.

Kinda like how Foster’s is considered undrinkable in Australia but they made it huge here (at least until the craft beer revolution made most imports seem like pee).

I avoid them like the plague at our local Oktoberfest anyway. The Paulaner is just leagues better.

Well in fairness there are a ton of summer beers (or half-assed shandys) that are bad, brewed by otherwise good brewers.

Well in truth Ford never really let anybody know what the hell Mercury even was, let alone Merkur. Merkur was just a European-sounding freakshow built by an American company.

Basically nothing is bad about those cars unless you think it looks bland or really want a stickshift.

Not sure what you’re getting at here, unless you thought me saying “V8-powered” somehow meant it didn’t have a V8.

Tell that to Lexus.

I imagine it’s somebody who’s very smart with their money. They probably only drop a few hundred on maintenance every year for a car that was cheaper than a Mercedes at the time, just as luxurious, V8-powered but without V8 gas mileage, and it lasts for bloody ever.

Amazing how successful that concept became 20 years later.

I would have applauded for sure.

Now I know what “no frills” looks like when you make more off a single 30-second side-gig commercial than most people earn in a lifetime.

This is like the archetype of how to write an unpopular opinion.

Yeah I’m pretty sure the niners would have won about 10 straight Super Bowls with Aaron Rodgers at the helm.
