I spent a bit of time researching early Daimler-Benz history for the purpose of NAPA parts cataloging accuracy. The conclusion I came to was that beginning in 1900 Mercedes was a separate brand built by Daimler, much in the same way that Lincoln is currently a separate brand built by Ford.

From Edmunds: Myth: Nearly all cars should be serviced under the “severe” maintenance schedule. This oft-cited rule is a myth the quick oil-change industry (including Jiffy Lube) uses to bolster more-frequent-than-necessary oil changes, experts tell Edmunds.com. When manufacturers say “severe,” they mean situations in…

Ive taken my wrx through a few 12-14" snow storms and its done quite well. Amazing how many trucks I would pass who had ended up in ditch land.  Had one that was over the side running boards so it was plow city with my own front bumper.

1st gear: So, which manufacturer will be the first to crack and flood the market instead of maximizing individual unit profits?

You have it exactly backwards. Illot is going to Indycar because he isn’t considered one of F1's best upcoming talents. Three years ago, there was a lot of hype around him, but three years is a long time ago. The depth of talent in European single seat feeder series is so ridiculous at the moment that, unless you…

I actually hate this more. It makes those trim pieces even more superfluous if they’re just the same color as the body. The best solution is to have normal body panels that have no fender flares at all.

There must be dozens of you! DOZENS!

Ohh thank you.

Everyone knows hexagonal wheel arches make the wheels like extra low poly

Okay I actually hate the cladding. It’d bad enough on a crossover but now it’s literally holding the car back with complicated fluff.

Yeah unfortunately we had to get a new car with my brother in law moving in and having a baby. we got the car we wanted, but had to overpay a bit. we accepted it, knew it going in, and the dealership was fair with us and felt we still got a reasonable deal compared to a lot of people right now

That’s not what he said though:

The listed price did not include the 1995 down pymt, so it mislead readers thinking the price was more reasonable unless you read the small print

Handling is shit though.

Electric motors aren’t like car engines. That 1000 hp capable motor isn’t analogous to a 8.0 V10 vs a 2.0 I4 in terms of fuel efficiency and weight. In some ways, the bigger motor is even more efficient as there isn’t much weight penalty for it and it can handle more heat (less wasted energy). It all comes down to the…

Yeah... 50 mile range isn’t gonna get you through a autocross day

Let’s be real here. The horsepower wars started before EVs got in on the game. Look at all the supercars from the last 10 years or so, especially from big hypercar manufacturers like Koenigsegg, Bugatti, and to a lesser extent, Pagani. It’s just easier to extract horsepower from an EV powertrain, so the one-upsmanship…

That pic is emblematic of the pissants that drive those brodozers : unable to park their oversized ego mobiles partially blocking the pedestrian curb cut too close to the car behind them.

Y’all clearly forget how revolutionary the Dodge Ram redesign in 1994 was. No longer were pickups bound by the traditional boxy body design that had dominated for literally decades but instead could be, dare I say it, stylish. Seriously, I had two trucks of that generation and considering the available…
