If this car needed 100 pages of maintenance history to make it to 96k, then it’s going to need 100 more pages to make it to 125k.

Uh.. the codes are extremely easy to figure out. There was only one time on my cars it wasn’t easily diagnosable. On my parents cars I haven’t heard of any big stories (my mother’s exterior thermometer thinks it’s 178*F all the time, but that’s probably just the sensor).

As others have said, I’d trust this diesel Merc FAAARRR more than the Atlas.

For a few bucks more, you could have a brand new VW Atlas

LOL. I trust the reliability of a 5 year old Mercedes far more than a new VW.

Pervert.

Sad to say, but back in 1959 ambulances and hearses were the same car

The admiration of hearses is a sure sign of mental illness. As are the tattoos of those who admire hearses.

Kudos for finding a Halloween appropriate vehicle for today's NPOCP.  Definitely CP.

tbh fuckin’ in a car should be legal

It looks a LOT like a last-gen Cav or, even worse, a last-gen Sunfire.

That’s the best part if you like sleepers. Get rid of that stupid hood, and put some uglier taillights on it. 

Cool Cavalier, bro. 

I’d have to write a book to explain why these mills closed. It’s not as straight forward as you’re trying to make it.

If they can open up, get profitable and not repeat the same mistakes which caused their closure you’ll create long term jobs while dropping commodity prices.

Then you’re not following. He missed the whole subsidiarity point. The tariffs are a government subsidiarity to grow current capacity and develop new capacity. Once that happens domestic prices will drop. Not to previous pre-tarriff levels but they will drop. It’s very inefficient to run a mill at less than 75%+…

We need a technocracy!

I work in the steel industry, I buy hundreds of tons a year.

You’re incorrect in practice. The higher prices have allowed shuttered mills to come back on line and compete in an already tight steel market. The Loraine plant is coming back online and there’s a plant in Louisiana (not my product segment so I don’t know…

You’re not alone. My first thought was “They managed to make an ugly Aston Martin”. 

Idk but in the main picture above, the wheels look far too big for the body. 

Agreed, 30-70 or 40-80 overtaking times are very underutilized, and more representative of real-world acceleration than 0-60. It’s precisely why I drive a Saab.
