Factually correct, most definitely. But also not a factory AMG-Mercedes car - that was when AMG was still an independent tuning house.

I have but one question

Yeah, it'll never happen. There has never been a factory AMG-Mercedes with a manual, sadly.

The Mugen Odyssey. Just, yes. So much yes about this.

The fact that the leaping cat doesn't work, I think, shows us what is wrong with this picture: the car.

I'm going with chance of brake failure vs. chance moron driving cement mixer wasn't paying attention at 1 to 10.

Wow. The reckless disregard of the mixer driver is insane. I'd be lawyering up pretty fucking quick.

Yikes, I had no idea some of them were quite that badly damaged.

I mean, come on, do you actually believe the words coming you've written there are making a compelling point? There are tons of great indie mechanics, too, and at least with those guys you typically have the benefit of online reviews and forums to guide you to the right one. It's a massive risk taking your car to a…

Eh, this motor isn't particularly rare. I'm guessing it's the M113 with the Eaton twin-scroll supercharger, I'm sure a junked S55 AMG isn't too terrible hard to come by if you wanted to do a swap.

Yeah, BECAUSE IT IS UNKILLABLE.

I wanted to think this ad was dumb but it was fucking incredible.

The looks are divisive, I'll say that much - though it's a very subjective topic of discussion. You also get a lot more toys and fit & finish than on a Mustang, so let's not forget that, either. This is simply a higher quality vehicle in most respects.

I still can't help but think Jag overshot with this car. I want to like it, and it tries so, so hard to be taken seriously as a luxury-performance machine, but it does so with all the subtlety, grace, and pedigree of an Ariel Atom. Every one I've seen on the road is driven by some obnoxious asshole darting between…

A.) It's restored.

Pretty classic case of the "super rare = super valuable" fallacy. At a point, a car can be so rare that it's more of a liability than a collectible, and that's exactly the case with this Bimmer. Sometimes, that liability is acceptable given the car's awesome factor. The problem is, extreme rarity works only in tandem…

That's one of the canyon roads in Malibu. Maybe Latigo? Latigo gets a ton of older folks on it driving real slow, mostly because a lot of them live back there. It could be Decker, too. Either way, those roads are abused by asshats driving way too fast on them constantly, especially on the weekends. One blind corner…

Every aspect of the audio in this video is insufferably bad.

That's pretty much where I stand on this. I like the 911 just fine, but Porsche really is making it impossible for anyone but the fanboys to suspend their disbelief regarding its performance versus the Cayman / Boxster anymore. The MR layout is simply going to result in a car that performs better - Porsche just won't…

I've already seen a whole bunch of 'em in LA. They look really weird.
