True but this is unique and rare and better looking to me. Would own...
To me amg GT is one of the best looking cars ever made. It’s like a corvette if GM didn’t cut corners. Amazing vehicle inside and out
Fully agree. I see a blue one around near my place. Mercedes company car(werkswagen), dark blue, tan leather. Amazing sound.

Because it is made by aryans for aryans, I can actually fit into it. Which I can’t say about the jaguar F type, or the C7

I was in a brand new Camry sport poober last night. Guise. It’s a nice fucking car. Red leather, good stereo, rode great, power seemed good. Handling was great with very little swaying in turns. I’m legit impressed.

Had a :rage: inducing morning filled with :mahtroy: luck.

The shit aftermarket radiator in the 399,300 mile crown Vic shat a brick and the plastic was leaking. Pulled the radiator and replaced it as well as an idler pulley and a new belt. Crown Vic also had a flat .... which I filled up with my m3 compressor :waxer:

After I buttoned up the car and got it up to temp the brand new radiator is fucking leaking.

I hate Chinese non oem parts. Every time without exception they have been absolute garbage ! Fuck Chinese parts fuck em
Issue is oem radiator is like $300 3x the cost but it also lasted for 12 years and 320k miles the last one lasted 4 years and 80k I figured the car would be dead by then

:wrong: :disgust:

One of my moms friends in Turkey is looking for the part number on the following item for their 2011 Land Cruiser (same body style as here, Engine doesn’t exist here). Part number is in blue underlined.

Any possibilities on where to find it other than Russia and non-refundable (yes im not joking, he means it)?

Agreed. Zhukov always has this logic about major production manufacturers having a better product because of superior engineering and resources.

You can't retire the fking car 700 miles short of 400K. Do whatever it takes.
