I was gonna take Tesla private, but then I got hiiiiiigh

You’re not most people. For most people, the range of a Bolt, Leaf or Tesla is fine.

Very interesting info about that high insurance quote. I know that by state, age, and type of car things can change drastically, but its usually about calculating risk. (I moved states, my insurance dropped 60% even though I added on home owners insurance)

It is efficient if it lowers the price of the vehi— oh fuck never mind, we’re talking about Mercedes.

When talking about EVs, efficiency means MPGe or mi/kWh.

Bert Reynolds made a 180HP Oldsmoble powered, Automatic transmissioned, malaise era Trans Am cool. THAT takes skill and talent, and why we honor him to this day.

RIP, Bandit.  You sombitch.

David Tracy will be there tomorrow to pick up that Jeep.

Always get the police involved. Even for minor bumps, get a police report and inform your insurance company. You never know how the other person will act once you part ways, and you should let the system protect you the way it’s intended to.

My 2015 Golf SportWagen TDI SEL was about a month and a half old, and had 2,500 miles. Well, on this particular day, I was on my way home after getting Panda Express. I was the first car in a left-turn lane. I complete my turn and start driving up the street, when...WHAM! A new-ish F-150 comes out of a parking center…

I got rear ended by a woman who was on her phone. She got out, didn’t want to call the cops... or give me her info... or anything. Just wanted to leave. She hit me hard enough that he radiator was cracked and leaking fluid and my bumper was hanging on by only a single clip. No airbags luckily.

I call the cops, they…

If Merc disregarded profitability they could “surpass” Tesla tomorrow.

...you’ll want to turn up your speakers for it.

I drive a 16 GTI SE. It is an amazing vehicle. Test drove a 16 WRX and the interior and sightlines were laughable in comparison. We sold our TDI wagon back earlier this year. I wanted to replace it with a new Golf wagon. Wife wanted a Mercedes, so she got a GLC300. Our wagon was superior in every way except for speed.…

The buyer, who asked to remain anonymous, said “It was a steal, and I can’t wait to put my Polizei stickers on it. It’ll look great beside my Morgan.”

The Elise was reasonably priced and it sold poorly after the initial buyers scooped up a few thousand 05s.

Supplier is important. I do die making...a vendor sent us some 4140 that literally crumbled as the machinists were drilling holes in it. I think I heard some new cuss words that day.

you’ve touched on something that is my pet peeve..I know I can’t stop American brands from moving/getting overseas work, but selling us back crap on top of it? I have a couple each Black&Decker and Stanley tools that are WORTHLESS.

Well it is a prototype...
