Yeah, stick one of the OM642s from, say, a 2008 ML320 CDI in it (after you deal with the injector seals and clean up the carbon on the outside) in it and you’ve got something. I’d go with the pre-DEF version, just to make life simpler offroad.

Your order is spot on. The LR3's and L320 RRS are by far the more reliable options. As Doug DeMuro documented on here, the L322 has quite a few issues with “ancillary” systems as I like to call them. The powertrain is solid, but they have tons of issues relating to the infotainment, steering column and other…

But with the 3.5L instead of the anemic 3.0L though, and must get the later years widebody instead of the earlier narrowbody.

But when replacing a burnt out taillight involves “learning to code”, something has gone terribly, terribly wrong.

Oh, so you’re a Trump-supporter!

It’s the Bay Area Reality Distortion Field, or “Bay Area Bubble”. It affects everything.

I will grant you that she’s better than the GOP alternative. But that’s about it.

Many Land Rover Discos had all the wiring and the heating pads for heated seats, but no switches unless you got the option. VW did that for a while too.

This is the tackiest thing I’ve ever seen coming out of a luxury brand. It looks like the doodling you see on a middle school girl’s notebook, or on a pair of white converse someone drew on with a sharpie.

Ahem. They're called "mopeds" and they've existed for decades. 

My life has forever changed since I bought this sucker. Seriously.

So basically you discovered moped.

“Is here to give us the details” aka today’s issue of “We Found a Youtube Video to Summarize and Pretend We’re Associated With”...

Ahh, the ‘He started it!’ argument. Brilliant.

Twenty years ago private pilots called their day trips to random airstrips the “$100 Hamburger” since that’s what it cost to fly, land, have lunch, then go home. I imagine it’s probably up to $300 by now.

I don’t think it’s a brilliant design at all. It seems to have been designed by someone with no knowledge of how trucks are used as tools. It’s not function over aesthetics; it’s all aesthetics, based on the limits of trying to bend 3 mm. stainless steel. The body panels were formed on a brake instead of an English…

Observe Elon demonstrating the literal difference between a truck and everything else and also trying to rebrand what a unibody is (you know cause anything that’s a unibody can’t be called a truck).

The OS of the original iPhone was different but the form factor was well known by that point. Newtons, Palm Pilots, iPaq’s all had the slab with a screen just a different interface.
