I think this is close to a nice price for the right Mercedes enthusiast.

The Skyline and 3 series are both great in their own right.  I don’t think any serious enthusiast would discount either car as a future classic.

Yes, I just sort of molded the original quote to the article. Carlin was remarkably insightful.

In my view, it’s been happening in slow motion for a while. I will use a simplified example from the BMW USA lineup.

I am disappointed nobody brought up BMW E46 or E39.

These came with an inline 6? Nice!  TIL

The heaviest ID.3 weighs about 4,200lbs. The battery in the top-trim ID.3 Pro S already weighs ~1,100lbs - over half the weight of the original GTI! I suspect the battery in the GTX will be at least as heavy as the Pro S battery, if not more.

Imagine buying a refrigerator with a water dispenser, but it is locked behind a paywall of some kind - either through subscription or through a one-time fee. Insane!

In the realm of Fuck-Ups, these are just the highly visible ones know about.  How many other Fuck-Ups are unknown?

In addition to the expensive, true off-roading mods, the squeaky clean Wrangler I saw the other day would blow anything in this list out of the water.  All show, no dirt to match.

Nobody is cross-shopping a Bolt with a Highlander.

Oh my bad, I read it backwards, as if “Ajay Thakore” was his alias and Ace was his real name.
