- userbinator 8mo ago1990s Mercedes would be my guess.
- pseudohadamard 8mo agoThis is why you need a 600 Mercedes, made from lead and asbestos and concrete and VOCs and other stuff, that won't fail under any circumstances.
- defrost 8mo agoJust get a https://www.okaaustralia.com/ https://www.okaaustralia.com/ Ugly AF but artisanal and robust. ( Just avoid the original third gen versions from late 1980s (?) that offshored the assembly ) 2012 Bus configuration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fchq6F-gKkQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fchq6F-gKkQ
- pseudohadamard 8mo agoNothing can beat the 600 Mercedes for cachet though. Look at the list of owners: Idi Amin, Ceauşescu, Saddam Hussein, F.W.de Klerk, Papa Doc, Mugabe, Brezhnev, Tito, Mao, Kim Il-Sung, Ferdinand Marcos, Deng Xiaoping, Mobutu, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, Mubarak, Berlusconi, Pablo Escobar, Jeremy Clarkson, nothing will ever come close to that.
- defrost 8mo agoAny respect I had for you was lost when you dragged the reputation of world leaders with the inclusion of that failed farmer :(
- jandrese 8mo agoMini Cooper. From what I've heard it's a BMW thing.
- chaboud 8mo agoBMW and Toyota have famously used bio-derived insulation reported to be like catnip for rodents. The bio-oil plasticizers also migrate out more quickly in thermal cycling than the old dead dinosaurs approach. Hilariously, when I asked my mechanic about getting an M5, he laughed and explained that the radiator components are known to turn brittle and crack after 5-6 years because of this. (I don't envy automotive folks. The stuff they have to deal with is next level.)
