First time out of the vault
If you have $60,000-$70,000 to drop on a new sedan, the Mercedes-Benz E500 is quite a fine automobile. The 5.0L n/a V8 produces an impressive amount of torque at low RPMs. It's mated to a 7-speed automatic gearbox with almost seamless, smooth shifting. The ride has adjustable suspension for sporty or comfort-oriented driving. The brakes stop the car like a ton of bricks and it can comfortably and elegantly seat four adults.

FYI.
 
I don't care for Mercedes too much, it's the stereotype that goes with the person that drives it, you know, old snobby type, it goes with living in Florida... uggh.


But J.E., go you!!
 
I had (in order)

1986 Oldsmobile Firenza
1992 Acura Integra ls
1996 Chevy Cavalier (worst car ever)
1992 Chevy Cavalier v6
1989 Vw Fox wolfburg
2001 Toyota Echo (still own untill i pick up my new car)
1999 Ford Escort lx (still own)
2004 Toyota Echo

all i know is that i hated the american cars i owned (and still own)
 
Yeah. American cars have some fairly innovative interior design, but besides that universally suck.

Cars in the family

Yellow Celica, approx 85
Red Subaru, don't know year or model
Saab 1991-1994.....always in the shop, but I liked it
Subaru Legacy wagon 1995

I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler and I would say the opposite is true for them.

I/my parents have had Japanese cars my entire life, I'm tired of it. I want a Saab.

Maybe to make your transition easier, you can try the new Saab that's essentially a Subaru.

lol Saabaru.

By the way, I can't afford a Mercedes-Benz E500. Well, I guess I could, but only if I liked eating soup for five years straight.

Damn, and I was just about to make some witty comment about your salary being the real reason for interplay's collapse.
 
I would never buy any of the following:

1. Audi
2. BMW
3. Mercedes (well, except maybe 500 SL or Maybach :))

Why? Because it seems that every Croatian fucktard who happens to have some dough (which he probably obtained in an untransparent financial transaction, which is the only kind of transaction recognized in Croatian business practices) buys those cars. The result? The Croatian roads are full of wealthy jackasses who drive an Audi/BMW/Mercedes, which means owning one automatically marks you as a tycoon (= criminal) and thus a despicable swine whom everybody hates.

So if I was rich and could afford an expensive vehicle, I'd purchase one that would really stand out, like a Jaguar or a Ferrari (perhaps not the latter - lately these fucking tycoon pricks started buying Ferraris for their spoilt kids, which means they have now become abundant on Croatian roads).

Now why did I turn a simple post about cars into a rant against Croatia?
 
Cars? Meh.
Nothing beats my Bicicle of Sidewalk Doom +5.

If I had dough, I'd buy myself a motorcycle. Probably a Triumph.
 
Bicicle of Sidewalk Doom +5? Pfft. I have a Pedalvehicle of Vorpal Destruction +8. It's so powerful, one of the brakes produces a brain-shattering sonic wave of evil when used.

Yeah, a motorcycle would be nice. Prone to be stolen though. Bah, I don't have enough money anyway. Cars are teh ghey. Especially if you live in the city.
 
Not the "cars are bad" discussion again, you're simply jealous since you don't have one.

My current car is a 1998 Honda CRV, it's a great car. Even though it's a SUV, it doesn't behave like one (decent gas milage, it's one of the smallest SUVs, it's rather cheap, and so forth). Besides, it's great for the mountains, you really need the four-wheel drive on some of those dirt roads. Not to mention rather pleasant cargo capacity (I've transported 4 ft by 4 ft planes of sheet metal).
 
My hail-battered 96 Saturn Coupe pwns all your bicycles of stupidity -12 and Mercedes of Developer +10.

Besides, it would take 4 years of my stipend to buy one of those monuments to capitalism. :help:

Amusing way of letting us know you're still alive though, JE. :wink:

i never really understood why all you americans want an automatic... i know it's fun to be lazy, but if you drive, at least have some fun playing around with the gears and drive sportiveleh imo.
