? Had a heartbreaking dream that Jennifer Aniston dumped me. And after all that excellent shagging we did.

Corvette not done yet....

Saw some strippers in Windsor, but that was pre-NIN. Good times, but the canucks (then) like the lights turned up too high.

general store & gas station, Hyden KY, 1940 :

Why- because the MBSMayS63Bach is faster around a track than the MBAMGGTS63GTS?? Talk about a stupid metric.

It's 'understated finesse', not 'diamond-tufted whore house'. I see the Escala doesn't have the horrid cheap plastic seat surrounds mercedes puts in their s-classes; that Escala piece right there is awesome. Bentley does the same hard plastic on their seats, too. Bentley interiors do come off as nice / 'whore house lite', but everything looks heavy & bloated. Details could be better integrated; for the money it just isn't worth it. There absolutely are elements I like & seem very appropriate in the class tho. The lightness of the Escala's design is so airy & fresh, plus the audacity to put cloth in a top-tier luxury car; so seldom seen. It shakes some of the cobwebs out of modern top-tier luxury car thinking. I like it, and I think it has enormous potential for the upcoming 'Fleetwood'.

Was Cadillac sufficiently separate from Corporate when they developed the Escalade interior and the Blackwing 4.2TT? Build it, or one on the same level :

But that's exactly what I'm advocating to answer this challenge ; put the concepts into production. If a lame-ass Bentley can pull in $200K with their dated styling, an Escala could do the same. Cadillac hasn't hand-built a limited run car in a very long time, but it's certainly not beyond their capabilities. I think the '21 Escalade interior proves they can engineer/design something class-leading and put it into production in modern times.

No- it's real all right. Just; not in production. But it certainly could be. Hence; Cadillac can compete in this price tier by putting their concept-caliber cars into production.

Why is it 'legitimate' to have this bug-eyed sedan over $200K: ...but not this one? :

MB started importing by '56-57. They partnered with Studebaker and used their dealerships for years and even advertised with the company. It was a long tough road, putting their cars in with Studebaker and instantly making them look 10 years older. When a mercedes S and a Studebaker Lark were on equal tiers... But the Seville was an upmarket move, not down. Or if not up, at least a lateral.

Cadillac could something quite straightforward; put their concept vehicles into production as is. The Ciel exceeds a Bentley of the time with ease.

Average cup of coffee is supposedly 120 mg of caffeine, so 4 would be 480, 5 would be 600. I do (1) 8 oz (sugared) @ 84 mg and 1 big can (sugar-free) at 300 : 384

The big Monster cans are 300 also. Reign is good. I hate to drink sugar-free; artificial sweetners are the worst, but I should watch sugar intake due to inflammation.

Don’t drink milk. But I hope the Red Bull / Monster supply line stays open!! ?

“Wildest muscle car dreams” [auction linked earlier] Not a single mucsle car listed. ? ————— Home Depot by me today limiting customer head count to a max of 50. Costco still jammed every day- but I havent been in there in like 2 weeks (was normal then).

Social distancing done right ~

Ford Maverick : forgettable RWD, longitudinal-engine generic appliance. ? - - - - -

^ I wish the graphics had been a lot better, more intuitively constructed. Here's another site : https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Looks at that shtty SL in the first pic 2 posts up; plastic fake side scoop with plastic 'strakes' across it. Generic. Mercedes fans should be mad.

A matter of both opinion and preferences. And yet; still generics.

And Daimler makes volume FWD & RWD / traverse/longitudinal engine appliance CUVs and heavy SUVs/sports sedans.

I'd like to see it's time with four 200-lb adults in it; 800 lbs over the already HEAVY curb weight. I mean- that's why those seats are there right; to take your— WAIT!! There should be a MBAMGGTS63 3+3 - a 3 row sedan, so you can add 1200 lbs of passengers to a 4800 lb sedan and then go racing! 6000 lbs around the 'Ring!

Stinking Creek KY 1940 ~

OMG: finally some respect! 237" overall length and look; got like 2 feet in front, like 6 feet in the rear, and there was a good 3' to the line on the other side of the truck. So luxurious!!
