Maybe his mom was too short to see over the wheel of the S-Class, how the hell should I know? Either way, pro athletes aren't particularly known for making smart decisions with their money, being new to the reality of having a lot of money, but they can do whatever they want with it. The fact remains that Mercs are a…

I would never buy this for my mother, or anybody I cared about. If you are gonna get a Mercedes, you get the most expensive one, because that is why you buy a Mercedes. It was the only reason people started buying them in the first place. Buying a cheap Mercedes is like buying a picture of the Mona Lisa. Sure, people…

Still cheaper than almost every other surgery. I wonder what 74 hp feels like up a hill.

Probably somewhere in America, what you describe exists. But American foods do follow an unwritten rule where most all foods do not have more than one "Base," especially since we have a strong sandwich culture here. When give a layout of meats, bread, vegetables, and cheeses, no matter how awkwardly shaped the…

Other countries out-merica us all the time, Japan is the worst offender. Yes, this is a Pizza with hot dogs in 1/2 the crust and cheese bites in the other. It has mini hamburger patties on it as well. Also pictured is the Lotteria Tower Cheeseburger. But in 'merica, we are good at making things extreme, but knowing…

I make my OWN croissants what with the well buttered dough and crazy wait times rising in the fridge to france with you, france I dont need you anymore

The effort is often wasted. The expense of stocking so many cars means most customers don’t get to see all the choices, said Detlef Kuhlmey, sales manager at Autohaus Kramm in Berlin, which sells vehicles from General Motors Co.’s Opel. Across town, Audi Zentrum Adlershof relies on touch screens to show what won’t fit…

By 1984 , this car, the movie Tron, and several other tech-vehicle shows were on the air. Knight rider, Automan, had just come out. and so a Tron themed Corvette commercial was made, because:

As long as its in THIS car. Put poly bushings on it, good track tires, make sure the engine is good, but it has to be this exact car.

When I was working at the fast lube, the MKIV jettagolfnewbeetle would come in, and all of them would have either slightly melted or incredibly melted junction boxes on top of their batteries

Suede was a thing at one time.

True. It took me 10 years to like that album, and I'm still working on it. Musos would confuse me with thier praise of it. Finally just put it on the deck and dropped the arm and sat down. Utterly clustered production, it had no identity. Why did it take so long to mix? Why such a costly endeavor...for this mess? Then…

Well, yeah. For every supercar built, there was a more practical alternative. But people still bought the supercar.

Keeping in mind that the "headlamp" on this random car I picked is only the 2" circle that is illuminated, Yes, there is a lot of wasted real estate dedicated to chrome and Greeble under that glass.

Heck, I loved my sealed beams on every car I owned that had them. They were bright, I could see everything, and when you replaced them, you got a BRAND NEW LENS!

I can..attempt to explain this. Lets use America, or Japan, as a benchmark. They sell millions of cars, all must be exactly the same and all must perform as perfectly as is reasonable, factoring some warranty work here and there.

I covered this already out of curiosity. I drove a new Hyundai and exceeded the old "inaccurate" mileage by over 1 mpg.

Last month, I went back up my hometown of Whiting, Indiana after 10 years, and while riding the new bike paths by the lake, I saw a positively destroyed early '80s Chevy Custom Deluxe 20 pickup. Every body panel was 100% bubbled over rust, although you could still see the dark blue in places underneath. The factory…

The new Robocop sucks.

Lol, I been there.
