That’s pretty slick, what car?

Neat idea. Let’s do some very rough back-of-the-envelope calculations on the economic costs of this proposal.

I have yet to own a car that I loved enough to keep indefinitely, no matter the expense. Not even my E34 M5. Maybe my E28 or my W124, but I’m not even sure those qualify.

Unpopular opinon:
BEVs are the dumbest possible solution to minimizing carbon emissions in cars and trucks. Without making use of modularized batteries or pumped liquid electrolyte, battery technology needs to see a full, literal order of magnitude improvement in both energy density and current capacity to make the…

If they want to retain the comfort of the S550 while adding performance, and you don’t want a 7, realistically, they have three options: The S63, the Audi S8, or maybe a Bentley Flying Spur.

Try reading what I wrote, not what you wanted me to have said. n.b.: At no point did I mention “omg you can see plastic surrounding the gauges.” If you can’t appreciate the aesthetic differences between the German clusters and Cadillac’s steaming turd, I can’t help you. Especially since I’ve already highlighted…

Just typical GM - they don’t know how to sweat the little details.

2016. It’s from Motor Trend’s test of the ATS-V:

FWIW, I’ve experienced the ZF 8HP in the S8, the A8, a 535, a 528, a Supercharged Range Rover, XF and XJ Jags, and a Charger R/T.

Yep. There were any number of ways to approach this that would not have resulted in something that looks like it belongs in a Pontiac Tran Sport. I’m sure the ATS is an excellent car. The CTS-V is probably my favorite driver’s car in its respective market segment, and based on what I’ve read about the ATS I have no…

This is what I’ll remember.

Well, hopefully they don’t do this with whatever they replace it with.

I had a 2010ish 200 as a rental at one point. Almost brand new, like 10k on the clock and less than a year old. It was the worst car I have ever driven. The thing was borderline unsafe at speeds over 80; the suspension was so poorly tuned that potholes, expansion joints, etc. at that speed would send it heaving and…

(wouldn’t that be nice, though?)

I’m doing the whole sabbatical thing at the moment and with any luck I won’t ever wind up in an office job again. That said, I have reheated fish at work, and if I feel like it, I’ll do so again in the future. I’ve also brought in delivery thai food; garlic chicken with extra, extra garlic. More than once.

I suggest focusing more on cars and less on old, bokehn camera gear.

I’m not a big airplane guy, for three reasons; one, everything that interests me costs at least an order of magnitude more than I can spend to fly it and keep it operational, certified, etc., two, if I fly anything the way I want to fly it, the FAA will fine me the GDP of a small African country and/or angry men in…

Well, in the absence of proper footnoting support in Kinja, I recommend context clues and google. “Every generation now since the W202/210/220" should be all the information you need to get started.

So, I fully got the sarcasm, and I chuckled. But I gotta say, it’s funny you’d pick an S-Class as an example in a way you couldn’t have expected.

Tangentially related, and hilarious:
