Thank god the car salesman is going the way of the dodo. Nobody will miss experiencing your attitude as a hurdle to purchasing a car.

If you ever tried to load a child into an SUV in a parking lot, you’d realize how awesome these are.

That’s correct. But you should never check your helmet. If you’re doing that, it’s on you.

I’m a giant fan of Arai helmets.

If you even drop a helmet on the concrete you should get a new one. Seriously.

IIRC the 300SL only had 215hp so it’s not exactly worlds apart here.

Conan? Is that you?

The 280SL version of the W113 is pretty potent actually (not coincidentally it also fetches the most money by far). The 230 is much more like the 190SL which, while gorgeous, can barely get out of its own way in modern traffic.

Your comma use makes me think this is William Shatner’s burner account.

You better be going to the Indy GP if you’re going to be in town.

Nobody who has good ideas has ever purchased a Buick LeSabre.

How long before he tries to sell it as art?

The power is constant so unlike an ICE where you need to change gears to A) not blow it up and B) exploit the power band, there is no need for that in a D/C motor.

Ford Fusion means you’re stuck with their awful infotainment unit though. Mazda 6 all day over that car.

The S4 and S5 are awful cars to drive. The steering is terrible and for a car that is supposed to be the tarted-up version, they are more than a little dreary.

This one is my favorite color combo.

My BIL bought one for 300 bucks 10 years ago on CL. He still has it (and a 997 lucky SOB) and is currently planning the engine swap. Talk about return on investment.

NYC is a sweaty shithole? This isn’t news.

An e-dirt bike would be awful with the weight of batteries right now. Also, you’d have to bring a big genny with you to the desert or track and wait four hours between charges. I’ll stick with an easy to throw around dirty bike until those things are no longer issues.

Duff McKagan is my neighbor now, I have to show him this.
