Love the older diesels! Im not following the logic that Lexus handed them their head on a platter therefore quality suffered. I would think that a high quality competitor would cause MB to UP their quality standards, not let them stagnate. Are you saying that they simply didn't have the cash due to the bite out of…

As a former German car owner, many times over, I find that German quality has been a myth for some time, Porsche being the one exception. Maybe, I ended up with the cars built by a couple of the other manufacturers during Octoberfest or free Schnapps day or Scheiss-porn week, but in the 2000 model year and up cars…

I am also not into the drop a SBC into EVERYTHING school of motoring, but THIS is unique. I would totally hit this for 11k and then put the proper rims on it with my savings. The installation (from what you can tell from the pics) looks clean. I wish it had more miles on it after the heart transplant because I do…

I see a ton of wealth envy in this thread. If the man wants 175 cars and he can pay for them, then why not?

It is relevant because the person in the story was "grabbing the door handle", which does not exist. I drive a C6, so I am very aware that there is a mechanical release on the floor, I assumed this wasnt what he was talking about because most people who need to grab something quickly, in a high G turn, do not start…

I caught that, but didn't want to pile on.

Wondering what this has to do with cars..........

I call bullshit, the C6 has no interior door handles, only a button to open the door. :)

a sniper's NEXT, what? Next vehicle?

P0WN3D!

I rolled over to KC Craigslist,

I'm holding out for the Hello Kitty! Island Adventure Model. Why fill the bumper with water when you can fill it with KITTENS?

In a real world situation, I would run from a salvage title. In the unicorns and rainbows dream land that is Jalopnik, I would try to pick this up for 3k. As pauljones says, this is sooooo close to a NP.

NO mention of the daddy bought Jetta or Cabrio? If she rolled up in either VW product, I knew I was getting some, no questions asked.

You can put a more agressive face on a hunk of Limburger, but it still stinks.

Don't forget the pee pee teepee on I90 on the way to Mitchell and the Corn Palace!

Where is David Hasselhoof when we need him?

I worked in a pawn shop to get through college, so you can imagine that I have seen every form of fake Rolex imaginable. Some are such obvious fakes that you just wanted to laugh at the person trying to hawk it as the real deal. Some are very finely crafted, yet, still fakes. That is my problem with this car and…

Even in a down economy, 44k still buys a LOT of ugly.

Covering consumers for design flaws in your products both pre and post tax payer bail out would also add to percieved value. But, hey, FUCK'EM, BRING ON THE CHROME!
