Is that a Mercedes 600? Dictator limo!

My point is that they should be preserved and sold to benefit the people Assad persecuted and tortured, but instead, most of them are probably off on joyrides who knows where by now. 

Sadly, those are all likely to be looted if they haven’t been already. We’ve been through this before with Gaddafi, Saddam, etc. 

If this thing has truly been well maintained, if it passes inspection by an experienced BMW mechanic, if it’s truly unmolested, and if that abomination in the trunk can be removed and the trunk restored to stock without a lot of effort, NP.

Don’t try bringing guns into Mexico either. People do that occasionally, sometimes by accident, and the results are never good. The Guardia Nacional takes this stuff very seriously, and they will not hesitate to toss your ass in prison.

A guy like that is just a debt addict looking to get his fix. 

Irrespective of your feelings about the company and its CEO, the Tesla app is pretty good. You can check on and control a lot of components of the car, schedule and manage service, communicate with your service advisor, shop for Tesla stuff, and more. It’s well put together and intuitive.

As someone who owned a Tesla for 3 years, this looks very much like a pedal accident. FSD will normally disengage on a brake press or steering wheel turn, and the automatic braking will kick in if you’re about to hit something. But if you’ve got the accelerator jammed to the floor because you think it’s the brake…

I have a 2016 e-Golf with about 45k miles. It’s never been in the shop and still has its original brakes. It’s a great, fun city car if you have reasonable commute, and a great car for teenagers (mine took it over when I got a Model 3).

It’s amazing how the leaders of MAGA know how insanely stupid their base is, and how shamelessly they pander to and intentionally foster that ignorance.

I hadn’t actually watched the video when I posted that, and now that I have, I’m astounded that $10k covered labor, parts, and shop overhead and profit for a job like that. Labor must be much cheaper in China, but those parts and specialized tools are still significant costs.

I still see a few of these on the road from time to time, and it makes me sad. Imagine being that far underwater with such a lemon.

Peak redneck? Dunno, but this seems like it would make ice fishing a lot more fun.

It’s too bad we don’t have these kinds of shops here in the states. It might make owning a W12 less scary.

I don’t know, and that’s how I like it. Give me German technocrats over 4chan edgelords any day.

Some of you may be old enough to remember a period in the early 90s when 900 numbers were a thing. You would call a number to get information or chat with people or enter a contest and automatically be billed to your phone number. This was also the time after the fall of the Soviet Union when Russia began talking…

I’m about to get rid of mine. Carmax can have it. 

44,260 is a about 44,000 more than I would have expected given the negative press they’ve gotten. 

No, no, no. This thing has been rotting at that pier for 30 years, and she was gutted to the ribs in the 1990s to remove all the asbestos. Refurbishing it would probably cost twice as much as a greenfield project with the same specs.
