Loving the call back to classic Mercedes race cars in the grille

Zazinggg! Haha!

shouldnt these line up?

I mean, the repair shop probably did a better job of putting it back together than the factory.

I can't believe nobody went into the Armco... Based on all the videos I have seen, those rails are actually powerful electromagnets that pull spinning cars from the track.

Having just driven The Ring (for the first time) in September, I can completely attest to how insane this is to attempt to pass on the right. All of the rules stated when you get onto the track say "Pass on the left, and when you have intent to pass, put on your turn indicator". NO ONE will be looking on the right

I wish we could instill this "no passing on the right" here in the States.

Probably

Correct. But by god I would write the HELL outta that Yelp review.

Doug, just to make you feel better, it's about 40 times easier to import an age exempted car into Canada. I might point out however that we are freezing to death most of the time. From the USA for instance, I have never spent more than two hours of my time importing a private automobile or motorcycle. I would say that

When I had my 911 company cars back in the day, I did have one friend ask me that.

The week of March 2. Believe me holding this back is a lot more difficult for me than ti is for you.

Remove regional emissions restrictions and have one national standard. (I'm looking at you, CARB) Also have one standard for reformulated fuel nationwide.

The one I hate is the Euro pedestrian safety regulations that are making every car rather tall and bulbous up front. This leads to really high beltlines and cars that increasingly difficult to see out of. At some point there has got to be a diminishing return when more accidents/fatalities are caused by lack of clear

What the fuck are wrong with catalytic convertors? Catalytic converters are modern miracles. They DRAMATICALLY reduce the harmful emissions from vehicles (by a huge amount...we're not talking a little thing here...a lot of people underestimate what they do), and do so in a way that is extremely power and fuel

Please let us freely import cars at our own risk! I will gladly pay the taxes, and I will gladly pay to get it altered to meet US lighting standards. I know the cost of importing an taxes will make any such purchase silly, but damnit it's my money. Just stop giving me a bullshit reason for why I can't freely

Front plates suck, they should be replaced with a window-sticker at the very least, or nothing.

Eh?

Have you driven one?

they handle fantastically (as proven by a quick search of any review of them from the time) and they are mechanically bombproof (the interior might fall to pieces but the oily bits will go on forever)

Back in the day in the UK they were very common as taxis because they were so reliable and

It lacks the quirky styling that one might expect in a French car. Personally, I place that fact in the "plus" column. Looks clean. Assumed to runs and drive. Has a manual transmission. Priced under $2k. Why is this even a question? Nice Price. (I mean, not "drive 12 hours to Omaha to pick it up" nice, but

NP. For under $2K, why the hell not? Yes, the mileage is high, and it is showing its age, but it has a certain charm, and isn't so oddball that one couldn't find some adventurous mechanic to work on it, for anything that isn't DIY.
