Hot Take:

Plus, you can charge extra for sizes XXL and XXXL.

Saw half a million miles on the odometer, saw $6,500 asking price, went directly to CP, did not pass Go, did not collect $200.

They were deleting diesel particulate filters and egrs, and DOCs.

It actually gets about the same MPG on the big tires as it does on stock ones, because it changed the gearing and I’m not in boost at 70 anymore. And it still has all of its original smog equipment, including a functional catalyst, and passes an annual emissions test. Also, I haven’t driven it in 4 months, so it’s…

Poppy Northcutt would have kicked your arse into space; then given you calculations for the sick burn she just gave you.

Your to pickey.

I don’t see an R8/old M5/Viper in his driveway being driven hard on a daily basis.” vs “Oh, Bruce Wayne is buying a shitload of Ford V10 parts. Huh, he must have bought…

This may Justy be my opinion, but Mercedes really has abandoned its Legacy.

Michael, my life is now in complete shambles. If only I’d been able to read about this absurd but neat car of no actual consequence to the universe 2 hours earlier, none of this would have happened. I hope you’re happy.

Jalopnik is one of the very few outlets that does not agree to informational embargoes.
