@bangernomics: Yeah. Remember when Mercedes were beautiful and reliable? What the hell happened to them?

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: Both these guys are professional artists. I think Randy is a glassblower by trade, and Mike has a gallery here in town showing sculptures of motorcycles he has made using found objects. It's cool.

Is there an update on this yet? I figured this judge would be disbarred by now.

Mercedes ML320. I think it was 1999-2004 or something like that. The harmonic balancer has been known to explode on the test drive. They issued a recall four years later. The $1000 catalytic converters also failed at 30k and MBUSA sent a bulletin to dealers instructing them how to avoid covering them under…

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: They do sell them. That's the whole point. The only price I could find online was for the Indy Special, which went at auction for US$280,000. I assume Jay Leno paid about the same for the Special.

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: There's also Sneaky Pete.

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: Yeah, pretty much any Blastolene car belongs on this list. I live in the same town as the other Blastolene brother, Mike, and I always see crazy crap in front of his shop. Corvette-powered tricycle, Peterbilt semi truck hot rod, that sort of thing.

When my car gets dirty, I just ask my daddy for a new one.

Shit, I'm going out in the parking lot right now and punching my Saturn.

@lilwillie: And I didn't hear about him agreeing to a breathalyzer test. Sounds like a troublemaker to me, boys.

The difference between a Michael Bay movie and NASCAR is that if I have enough beer, and a barbecue, and some friends to hang out with, NASCAR is bearable.

I'm not bulding a car either. Can I have $5000?

@snapoversteer's a dangerous cliche: Yeah, I went down the page and heart-clicked everyone that posted it.

I love that that crane is called "Asian Hercules II." It sounds like what some guy at UC Irvine with a bookshelf wing on his lime-green Civic signs his emails with.

I play upright bass in a psychobilly band, and I can fit the thing in my 1994 Saturn SC1. It took me 20 minutes the first time, but now I can do it in a few seconds.

@snapoversteer's a dangerous cliche: Best answer ever.

The local police in my town have (illegal) ticket quotas. They get the same credit for a fix-it as for a speeding ticket. So I carry around last year's registration in addition to the current reg. I produce the expired one when asked. The one time this has happened, the cop wrote me up for the expired reg rather…

@dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: Wuss.

@Scandinavian Flick: Invictus. William Ernest Henley. I see what you did there.

@An Army Of Juan: But then they're stuck there for longer. I prefer opening the door with an air wedge just enough to get a dead fish in there.
