Agreed, I had no idea it was going RWD again, and even though I’ll likely never again be in the market for a midsize SUV, I’m happy about it. People were routinely shocked to learn that our ‘13 was FWD, because it’s just not right, dammit. For my part, I found it annoying to have no traction when trying to pull out…

Yeah the separate finances thing seems like a way of making the eventual divorce less complicated but...then why get married in the first place? If you’re not comfortable enough with someone to share the details of your personal finances and merge yours with theirs, mayyybe you’re also not ready to pledge the rest of…

Fry sez: “Can’t tell if trolling or...just asshole.”

“My ideas have grown crazier, my thought process is more unhinged, my patience for reasonable dissent has shrunk, and I hereby demand immediate and total compliance with my every whim until such time as I can no longer be described as ‘just had a baby’. Good luck MFer muahahahahahhhhhh. Oh and a push present that I…

Well I’ll be...I’m both very surprised and pleased to hear this. Save the manuals!

6 years ago, I was stuck in a dead-stop traffic jam on the expressway for 2 hours with my pregnant wife. Pregnant women may be crazy, but even worse in this situation, they pee. They pee really often. Like, more than once in the course of a 2-hour traffic jam. And they don’t like to get out of the car to do a walk of…

Eh, not so sure about the transmission. A 911 convertible without a tiptronic is a real unicorn. Otherwise yes, yes, the mechanicals and performance are the same, but the intended use of the car and the typical buyer are very different.

Dammit. Right after I posted, I thought “wait...what if he’s being sarcastic...”

Because it’s the most non-enthusiast, old-man version of the least-loved generation of 911s?

YOU’RE WELCOME GLAD I COULD BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY I HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE WEEKEND

Exactly. Wait to see what the runners do, then either catch it or let it drop and get some easy outs.

I liked the announcer’s confusion, even if it threw me off for a bit.

If the seller is serious about turning this car into money, the best bet is to spend the time/money to bring it back to stock, sell the CO2 components, throw the dinosaur body panels in the dumpster, and sell the car as a pristine, low-miles SSR.

“OMG something just like happened, I should like OMG do something, but like OMG I have no idea what to like do, so OMG I’ll just like do whatever OMG, or like better yet I’ll like OMG tell my possibly-not-so-closet-gay boyfriend to like, do whatever, while generally like panicking OMG and not like thinking clearly,…

As much as I admire the classic handsomeness of that generation of SLs, the early-2000's redesign was sorely overdue. Mid-2000's SL600's can easily be had for $25k with fewer miles. Unless you’re a particular sort of buyer who really values the unicorn-but-not-collectible status of this car...it’s just too…

I’ve always had a soft spot for comfy, sleek-looking highway cruisers, and the two-door styling plus V8 (or was it “5.0"?) badge really nailed it on the styling front, IMO.

-Non-ugly base trims: Why do I have to buy the top trim level to get the nice wheels? Why do they have different aero/lights/trim between them? What if I’m fine without the big engine and all the gadgets, but I still want my car to look sharp? It’s a conspiracy!!

-Infotainment screen dimming: Doesn’t do much good to dim the instrument cluster at night if the nav screen is still gonna blind you. Most seem to allow dimming if you navigate through a bunch of menus, but I’d like to have it linked with the instrument cluster, or have its own control so the driver can easily tweak…

-Curb view mirror in reverse: Any car with power mirrors could have this, but many don’t. It’s very useful when parallel parking, and can’t possibly cost much of anything to implement. 

-Smart phone slot: Some cupholders work great for holding my phone securely in a position where I can look down and see most or all of the screen. I’d like to see a dedicated slot for this purpose.
