But you want normal. And, as Regular Car Reviews notes, you should just buy the damn Corolla

Populist? Nay. It’s a matter of perception. The recoverable amount is besides the point. They’re bringing up payroll cuts for the little guys, but they haven’t started with executive pay cuts. In fact, if history is our guide, the execs will probably carve out bonuses for themselves for “saving the company money.”

On…

That's a nice, populist sentiment that I'm sure many of us will have in reaction to this news, but I'm sure the executive salaries would not be enough to cover the deficit.

The MB Museum in Berlin is amazing, and they used to have free Warstiner during all the F1 races which they showed on a jumbo tron suspeneded from the ceiling. To 18yr old me it was amazing at least, especially the free beer.

Regardless of brand-bickering, the Mercedes museum is a must-see for any car guy... it’s awesome both in terms of the collection and the architecture. And the once you’re done there, you can hop on the train and head over to the equally awesome Porsche museum on the other side of town. I’m still trying to decide which…

They haven’t denied that if you read the message. The company is still officially Daimler-Benz AG, formed of a merger of Daimler and Benz, both of which existed before 1900.

Thanks. I was hoping it would be an evening thing as Ican’t take off work to go over there.

Take a nap after that lap!

I’m just wondering what distributor would want them right now.

If Eric Buell made a smaller-cc beginner-ish bike (a Blast redux) that could be produced and sold for a competitive price and that he could sell in good numbers he’d be able to offset the pressure on a halo bike that’s expensive and has a ton of really strong competition from other manufacturers (and is a two-year-old…

The biggest problem I see is a combination of his business model and fever- dream engineering.

His business model sucks. Why would you start a company with a halo bike with all this goofy shit technology for the sake of being different, when you could start out with something conventional, built well, and sized and…

I’m pretty sure we don’t say that around here.

$5K tops and even that’s rich. It doesn’t matter how much work was put into it. It’s an interesting curiosity but that doesn’t make it worth anything. It’s neat. I can admire the effort. I wouldn’t pay any significant money for one man’s hobby.

Wow, you’re on fleek, graverobber.

Aside from the 30 mpg, it’s fast, gets attention, and makes fart noises - basically the ideal vehicle for those of us who matured at age 15.

Geez, did a roving pack of Dobermans mistake that for a fire hydrant?

A slighty under-3.0L, high revving, V6 in car that less big and lighter than the Mustang? Sounds exactly what Ford needs to expand that segment of the market, assuming Chevy doesn’t beat them to it.
