Indefensible behavior. If a service manager told me to keep driving around on a truck with a partially welded frame, I would ask if they would be willing to take a grinder to the same welds on their own truck until my frame could be repaired.

This man’s kink has nothing to do with Hofmeister.

IIRC, the SS was sold in the USA purely out of an internal agreement within GM. The North American division was obligated to import X cars from the Australian factory, or something like that. Therefore there was no incentive to spend marketing $ to advertise the car.

That’s possibly one of the best combinations of Monoblock wheels and the blocky Mercedes-Benz styling of that era.

4.9L 394hp NA V8 with howling ITBs, 7,000rpm redline, RWD, 6MT, excellent handling, comfort, luxury, subtle timeless styling.

Remove Musk from the decision. If da Vinci himself crafted every single Tesla, I still would not buy one. I understand why lots of people like them. I drove a 2023 Model 3 and there were enough negatives and weirdness to turn me off.

Rape threat or child donation - either way, it’s fucking creepy.

The base model 5 series has always had a fairly “generic” engine. For example, the E39 525i from 20+ years ago had a small 2.5L inline-6 that only produced 190hp.

Is dismantling the FAA really part of Project 2025? Yikes.

How often does this happen across all flights?

What these cherry-picking “comparisons” can never convey is the overall feel of the car and execution of features. I suspect the BMW is a much more comfortable, smooth, flexible and refined ride compared to the Kia.

That guy has a demonstrated history of making inaccurate projections on many things that are far simpler than putting humans on Mars.

Exactly, but I don’t think the K5 GT can be ordered with summer tires.

The K5 GT is definitely an interesting car, but the comparison to a bigger, heavier, base model 530i is flawed.

When equipped with the M Sport package, sure.

This article perfectly summarizes my gripes with points programs. They’re like an intermediate currency with a value that is almost impossible to judge on a day by day basis. When the company that issues points also determines their value AND says they can only be used on their products and services, forgive me for…

I suppose most people stealing brand new cars in 2024 lack the capacity for most critical thought. You aren’t going to get very far in the first place, and running over cop cars isn’t going to improve things.

This sounds more like a Gone in 60 Seconds prequel

Tonight, Kaydenn Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

I am going to my local Mercedes chapter C&C this weekend and will probably be the only stick shift car there!
