Alright....now I’ve gone from a proud citizen of our wonderful state, to an embarrassed one.

I guess the simple answer is he buys it because.....he can! And in most cases, the buyer will turn around and sell it for more. Not something I would try personally, but people do it!

I guess I should just call a spade a spade.

Setting the fastest time on the Nordschleife for a given class is a big deal among manufacturers, as is the fastest time overall.
Aston Martin and BMW M(among others) offer driver training at the Ring.

Secondly, those spectacular accidents at the Ring are almost always a consequence of inexperience and/or trying to keep up with faster cars and/or drivers(the Red Mist). I’ve been driving at HPDEs since 1988 and I’ve experienced exactly one situation where I thought I was going to damage my car(I didn’t, and I credit the excellent training I received from my instructors over the years).
So yes, for me the benefits DO outweigh the risks.

The colonoscopy itself is easy-peasy - but from 3:00 PM this afternoon until 1:00 PM tomorrow, not only do I have to refrain from food, but the chemicals I have to swallow and the aftermath is a true misery, as all of you know! This is something I have been able to avoid for 6-7 years - but my doctor finally realized it’s been over 5 years since my last experience which he was not happy with. So I am now being punished!
All kidding aside, I realize this is a necessary part of life especially since I am a liver cancer survivor and my mother had colon cancer. At least I can catch up on all the posts while “throning” every few hours. 🤪😜

The car is delightful to drive and extremely comfortable for me in the driver’s seat. It’s taking me longer than usual to master the multitude of systems and settings through the infotainment system because it’s not as intuitive as Mercedes is/was. It has its quirks but I am learning how to manage those quirks the more I use the systems. GPS screen does not use vivid colors, which I am disappointed with - rather it has 3 settings which include light beige, beige or cocoa. It does show a number of icons such as gasoline stations. restaurants, etc., however it’s not as eye catching as Mercedes.
I must admit that I miss the German Technology over the Korean Technology, but the comfort and smoothness of the ride and handling compensates for the technology differences. The engine is powerful and responsive and the audio system would bring a smile to any audiophile’s face. Sounds are crisp and surround sound is awesome with the 900 watt 15 speaker system.
It’s going to take a while for me to master the adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and blind spot monitors as well as backing up this much longer and wider vehicle compared to the E450, but I have nothing but time on my hands.🤪🤓😜

I’ve got 16K miles on my Stinger, now. That’s the best MPG I’ve ever achieved.
Give your G some time. Seems it gets better with the more miles you’ll put on it.

It's still a long shot but might target the advertising to the right person.

I have put in an order for a model Y Tesla that costs $54,000 (7 seater). I have a Volvo XC90 that the lease ends in the next couple of months. I was offered a trade in value by Tesla for 34,800. Payoff amount from Volvo is $35,078. Is it worth trading it in, to potentially save on the taxes, etc? I do have some cosmetic damage to the car so I suspect Volvo may ask me to pay for that once I turn in the lease, although its not entirely clear if that will actually happen or not. Only downside of trade-in from Tesla is they ask you to buy then car, and then take the amount off the sale price....versus some other trade in options. Thanks.
But you still come out ahead if you get out of the lease early (fewer payments), and won’t have to pay the disposition fee which will probably he higher than the difference Tesla is giving you. And of course, no damage penalties.
