  1. I like it...cool how the gear wraps the 'C'..
  2. Yeah...the Indy Car races I go to (except for the Indy 500) usually have Accords as pace cars.. Saw a couple Dodge Darts today---a white '63 2dr sedan and a faded bronze w/ brown top '73-74 4dr sedan. Also saw the new MKZ in the wild for the first time, a dark purplish red one at the grocery, light tan interior, the big moonroof slid back...a very striking looking car. Saw a very clean light blue and white '55-57 Chevy stepside pickup in traffic.
  3. Spotted on TV today watching the NASCAR race from Bristol--the Pace Car is a Ford B-Max...LoL..
  4. It's the fahrvergnugen!!!
  5. Went to lunch today and parked between a Smart and an iQ....they looked so tiny w/ the DTS between them..
  6. You would think some aftermarket company would be making something like that...seems like the kind of thing that would have been in the JC Whitney catalog in the past. I occasionally see brand name banners on Chevy and Ford vehicles, they are out there.
  7. Saw an eclectic mix this afternoon....yellow '80s VW Vanagon double cab pickup, aqua '57 Chevy Bel Air convertible, top down, and a silver '66 Olds Starfire I hadn't seen in almost 2 years..
  8. Noticed a Juke and a Versa in my office parking lot have 'Pure Drive' badging....'Pure Drive' ?
  9. 94 degrees here today, spring is in the air.... I'll be flying through Houston on Sunday on my way to Alexandria, Louisiana for 4 days at a client site.
  10. Pontiacs this morning...saw a clean gray G8 GXP at my coffee shop, then a clean bright red '69 Firebird on the freeway, then a worn-out but still running 6000 STE in a parking lot...wasn't sure if it was primer gray or faded from some other color.
  11. Replaced the windshield today. A truck kicked up a rock on the 202 Monday morning that cracked it in the top center, crack spread across. New glass is slightly different w/ a mesh-look decal area above the rear-view mirror that the 3 previous ones didn't have IIRC...acts as a sun shade for the top center, I think.
  12. Ah, shorter than I thought..not even tall enough for dfelt to walk around...I figured it was more like 8 feet inside.
  13. Maybe a lot of ex pro basketball players become deliverymen and require a tall van. I've seen many of these types of vans out and about whilst in Europe on holiday in the past, never stopped to inquire as to the content in one, though.
  14. Someone has added AMG badging to a black MB Sprinter around here, tinted windows, chrome wheels..looks interesting. As far as recent Sprinters go, I see more badged as MB than Frightliner.
  15. Maybe AMG versions of the Actros, Vito, and Viano are coming...anyway, sounds like brand dilution.
  16. Saw a really clean black '69 Camaro SS on the 202 freeway this morning. Looked completely stock w/ Rally wheels...nice example w/o visible mods.
  17. I wonder what differences it will have from the regular MKS.
  18. Content that is too long/tall to fit vertically in a normal height van.
  19. NV. I'm surprised Toyota hasn't gotten in on this action yet...
  20. Clean up the '84 Merc 500SEL and '91 Merc 300CE in the back carport and sell them.
  21. I suspect MB could care less what Lexus does, since Lexus is just a Toyota and primarily a US phenomenon.
  22. I have 3 VW driving coworkers, all have black on black ones (not the best color combo in the desert, IMO)..a previous-gen Jetta, a CC, and a Jetta wagon w/ diesel and manual. I really like the looks and interior of the CC. All are happy w/ their cars.. (random factoid: 1/4 of my company has VWs, 1/4 have Hondas, 1/6th have Jeeps, 1 Acura, 1 Hyundai, 1 guy w/ a Tundra and a '71 Chevelle, 1 Miata)
  23. Well a fridge is an option, maybe in model year two there will be a hamburger press and grill option. I am actually disappointed on one thing though, it looks like the 7-speed transmission will carry over, I thought the 9-speed would be ready at launch. I guess time will tell. I also wish the convertible was a 4-door, that would be epic, but a 2-door is better than none at all. I think I'll wait until the MCE. Holding out for either a hibachi or a smoker. RE: the transmissions, I read that they finally paired the 7-speed to the V12, so they may want to get some mileage out of that. Question though... ever wonder why Mercedes and Infiniti have skipped the even number of gears though? They've both used 5, and then when everyone went to 6, those two companies went to 7. 7 > 6. Like 9 > 8.
