If Lewis engine doesn’t blow in Malaysia he wins a 4th drivers title easily

It’s brand prestige. Most of the Mecan buyers came from Mercedes, BMW, & Audi. And many had less expensive cars with those brands, but stretched their budget to get a Porch, thus the high sales volume of the 2.0.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Nico was more than welcome to pass Lewis if he felt he was in danger. Lewis was running more than a second off pace and daring him to try. If Nico was a great driver, who was worthy of the championship he could have gotten around him. But the only reason he didn’t is because he…

Oh god, not a phone call!?!?! Time for me to head to my bunker and wait out the next 8 years....

This makes perfect sense! So much so that I actually joked about it to my dad after the race last week! I said “this would be the perfect time to retire, cause racing will probably never be this good again for him. so many drivers fight to win a championship and never repeat. Think about the current drivers, only 3…

This guy didn’t forget, he purposely had it buckled behind himself

Yeah I’m not routing for him to pull through.

I tend to lean left on many issues. But $15 minimum wage is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of. It’s because I’m a small business owner, and I actually understand the impact of a minimum wage increase. It’s a classical If/Then scenario. If the government increases what I have to pay my workers, Then I have…

I struggled for a while with this one.

Beautiful car. But it lacks the grunt to back up the styling. 38k is in Aston DB9 / Bentley GT territory and so that’s where my money would go if I wanted to show my rich friends that I was a tasteless asshole. Of course the same price range also contains the 996TT if you want to enjoy driving one of the best…

Not well deserved. The championship was handed to him on a silver platter made out of the spare bits of Lewis Hamiltons engine. Lewis won more races, and generally out raced Nico all season, just as he has for the last 3 years. Despite all the early season struggles with reliability Lewis fought back. And if his…

Literally all of the Black Series cars have defied the typical Mercedes depreciation curve. The BS cars are truely something special. They have a specialness that doesn’t exist within the thousands of plebeian AMG’s. They feel like a hand built car that were designed without the accountants oversight. I’m sorry you…

My stock portfolio has a fair number of big corporations, and I have a couple of clients who are executives with Fortune 500 companies so my opinion is different from yours. I’m going to buy stuff wherever I can get the best price for it, and I always favor companies I own.

You have local brick and mortar stores with shopkeepers? Where do you live? In the 1950's? The last time I was in a locally owned store they called themselves a “boutique” and sold the same shit I could buy on the internet only for 30% more.

Glad you got that, I was afraid people might think I was an idiot instead of being funny!

They actually are very simple cars, more akin to a Z06 Corvette. Big robust NA V8, simple adjustable coilovers, and a bulletproof ZF gearbox. Very few gadgets or gizmos to go wrong.

Look without insulting you, I will simply say this: a CLK55 is a very different car from the CLK63 Black Series. You’re obviously not familiar with them so I won’t bother trying to explain it. But this is as much of a fantastical Mercedes supercar as a 190E EVO 1 or EVO 2. Fairly sure you haven’t heard of those either…

These probably won’t depreciate much more because of the rarity and place in Mercedes history. It’s the first BS in the US, and argueably the most bestist by my arbitrary rating system. They have held their value around the $50-$70k range for the last 3 years that I have been considering buying one, with essentially…

It’s the experience and the rarity that make it special. The flared fenders, the fact it’s a 2 seater with no pretense of practicality, the adjustable coilovers, the loud even by AMG standards exhaust.

Wasnt Snowpiercer shit, how is it becoming a tv show?
