You can write off the costs of any car used in business whether it is a lease or not. Leases simplify things because you don’t have to deal with depreciation, per se.

The All-terrain is completely and utterly pointless. It adds nothing but an ugly butch wrapper to an otherwise excellent car. I find the AMGs even more pointless. There is no universe where I (or anyone else) need more than the 302hp that I have and never use already - and the current base model is *375hp* with…

I’m single with no kids and I daily drive a Mercedes station wagon. Some of us have hobbies that preclude driving a tiny coupe as our only car. I learned that lesson VERY quickly when I started wintering in FL with my M235i and it went from being my fourth car in ME to my only car here. And it very quickly got traded…

2-3 more doors and a moderately usable back seat? If I am going to put up with coupe impracticality I at least want it to be better looking and a LOT more fun to drive. I don’t hate the looks of these, but I don’t love them either. Just kind of “meh”.

This - the actual motto of the United States of America should be “I’ve got mine, Fuck YOU”. And fuck you twice if you are a type of person I happen to not like. Liberal, queer, brown, urban, poorer than you are, whatever. And then misogyny on top of that, with a healthy dose of the super rich backing anyone who they…

That many words going on about the infotainment in a car where the entertainment is supposed to be the drive says it all. And no place to put his keys or phone - the horror! How about leaving the damned phone in YOUR POCKET where it belongs while driving a sportscar?

Get lucky once in a while. Has it been dry in that part of TX? Sure hasn’t been on this side of the gulf, but I haven’t been over there since June.

Looks like a crumple zone to me. <shrug>

The Chinese will build to any level you want to pay them for, and that you are willing to spend riding herd on them to make sure they actually do. From iPhone to lead-painted kid’s toy.

I don’t know why people think these things have no crumple zones. They have just as much as any other pickup truck does, and probably better than most given no massive frame rails up front and no engine block in the way. Stainless steel crumples just fine. It’s stiffer than regular mild steel, but not THAT much…

Hope it’s not a glitch in that “no backup” steer-by-wire system.

He’s a kid - he probably writes this crap on a tablet. Or his phone.

In the US, very much confirm. Never. There is the equivalent of a PhD in law though (SJD), those folks do use Dr. sometimes, usually if they are professors more than in practice.

23's were the fat tires back in my racing days in the early‘80s. We ran 700x19s or 700x20s. And you could get 700x18 sew-ups.

Spot on.

A car with great ride/handling balance is very much like pornography - hard to define, but you know it when you drive one. And steering feel is critically important - and something I can’t imagine the completely steer-by-wire CyberTurd has much of. Certainly those Infiniti’s that pioneered it steered like a bad video…

An Oldsmobile 88. He’s a Kennedy after all.

One of them is, one of them isn’t. I know which one I am voting for, and it isn’t the bear dropper or Shitler.
