I had no idea that car even existed. I used to be in love with the S55/ S600. It's amazing how far ahead of the curve MB was with those two engines. I had no idea an S65 existed though and the power... wow. I can't even imagine how smooth it is.

I'm just going to say it: the BMW E60 is the best overall driver's car for the person that has sports car aspirations but also needs to toss a few rugrats in the back seat. There are cheaper sedans, faster sedans and more luxurious sedans but if you enjoy driving, a sport version of BMW's 5 series is for you. Today…

Automatics have come such a long way that it's not so hard to abandon your old stick shift. I just traded in a BMW 550i with the 6 speed manual for a 535i that doesn't come with the manual.

Goodness me... I can't believe that. With all options my 2010 M-Tech 535 stickered at a tick over $65,000 and that seems fair for a car like that but for a 3 series? Knocking on the 60k door? Not a shot in hell, probably not even if it had an "M" before the 3.

I still have a copy of the first Need For Speed for 3DO that I bought for $1 from a thrift store. If I can only find a working console I can finally re-live my youth.

So here I am, a Chicagoan in LA for the week and I stood in line like a dope Friday to get my phone, fully expecting the maps app to suck. After all, I've read story after story, comment after comment echoing just that sentiment.

No, I genuinely had no clue. I thought the train actually did that. I'm semi-relieved! :-)

As the father of a 1 year old who's just starting to show emotions like this, it touches me. You do anything to capture their attention and to earn a smile.

Seriously... My sarcasm meter was off the charts here and apparently nobody got the joke.

There is just no reason for these headphones to sound anything but stellar. Significantly smaller, niche companies like Bose pop out headphones for a $100 price point and I would imagine they sell less than 1% the amount of headphones that Apple does.

"iphones" was already taken...

The iPod touch has had bluetooth for awhile now, hasn't it?

The 2002 745 was modern like the 1996 Taurus was modern: it wasn't. It was what someone envisioned a future car should look like but nothing similar to what a future car WOULD look like and much like the 1996 Taurus, the 7 series was toned down and made a little more bland in 2006. So I wouldn't say it was so much…

Yes assuming it has 4G and relatively respectable battery life (a full day of normal use). 3G on Sprint's network is un-usable to the point where I have to carry around a 4G hotspot with me.

It's the new way of Gawker media... First little "blips" with single words that are links and now blips that are nothing more than blips. I know this makes me a crusty old man but the quality of the content on Gawker (the actual site) has gone down considerably and Gizmodo has slowly turned into an Apple rumors site.…

BAM!

I actually love that about the C class. Hell, the old G35 had that.

It is and it isn't... Yes, it's more or less just a bored out N62 but what made the N62 a raging turd (as I so eloquently put it) was it's likelihood to need really expensive repairs for generally minor problems. There was a coolant transfer pipe that would leak and require major engine disassembly to fix. That's…

I think the retractable anything on a German car is prone to malfunctioning.

I find the screen on my 5 series to be not so annoying. They recess it enough and dim it enough at night that it doesn't jump out at you. My A8 takes the cake though. One press of a button and it retracts into the dash with a wood panel replacing it.
