Glifted

Allegorical, but I have 2008 Mercedes C300 (W204). I purchased it in 2017 with 90k miles and I’m currently at 190k. It’s still my daily driver and overall I remain pretty happy with it.

The tl;dr of this car has been toyota-like reliability with maintenance/repairs being uncommon but more costly when they need to be done. I wouldn’t assume my experience is indicative of Mercedes overall.

I’m not a mechanic but I am an engineering technician and test driver in automotive T&V

Ann Arbor is pretty nice. I’m about an hour away but I have a friend near there. If you like mountain biking there’s also some very good trails nearby

Come to Michigan. We have all the water

Usually the US uses proxies

This is great. It’s like Shitpost-Prime. Half the comments are complaining about how it doesn’t make sense.

No one has even noticed that

• A “mini-burger” already has a name and it isn’t “mini-burger”
• The standard soda can shown is not a big soda

That’s unsettling

That’s fantastic

Or sure. Nothing is perfect but the overall message is something I wish I could beam into people’s heads

I think the world would be a far better place if we could get everyone to listen to BtB

The actual Confederate Surrender Flag was a dish towel

What happened to his legs?

I think AOC isn’t old enough to be VP. I don’t say that as a matter of opinion. I think you have to be at least 40

Edit: it’s actually 35, but AOC is 34 so I was partially correct

However I think the relevant language is:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

So maybe it’s okay for VP

Played this relentlessly back in the day. My family all rode snowmobiles so I was probably more into it than it deserved

That’s not going to improve anything, but it could prevent it from getting worse

“smoak” is a really good joke here

I gotta ask what’s with the Kermit, Sailor Moon, Heathcliff filters?

It a fair criticism but I think they’re much closer to production this time. I’m still skeptical they will make it to production, and even more skeptical that they will be successful in the market. However, I am rooting for them simply because I believe this design philosophy is the direction the automotive industry ought to be taking.

It makes no sense to build heavy, powerful, and expensive EVs in a time where we’re looking down the barrel of climate change and terrible income inequality. Aptera seems to be one of the only companies that understands that. Certainly they deserve to be questioned given past failures but I do hope they succeed as their design is a step in the right direction
