It's a comparison of Natalie Portman & Kiera Knightley to me; give me either, or both.

The Jag is a lovely car. I would gladly own and drive one ... But the AMG GT is a whole other level of awesome.

The MMI touchpad featured in the 2015+ models is literally one of the worst devices I've ever used. I tried using it in a new C-class and hated it.

However, I can't disagree with your statement about looks. That interior is stunning. It flows much better than the F-Type.

The touchpad can be fixed with firmware (hopefully).

That said, I can barely afford the engine in that car let alone the rest of it

If you are in LA, I would be happy to treat your future kids, at any of the 3 hospitals I practice in.

One of my neighbors (forum poster here), knows me well enough, and what I do for a living, since the hospital is next to his house

I would be happy to intubate you for free.

Breaking news! Breaking news!!

No one gives a shit!






Getting back on topic, the F-Type is nice, but owning a british car is scary at best... has Jaguar's reliability improved in recent years? Even if I could afford 16 other cars, I'd like to know I can drive it at any point and not wait for it to be repaired at the local shop.

Although close, I'd have to say I'm leaning towards the MB as well

Hello I could use some help I recently had a hundred and 10 multi point inspection done and all fluids changed at the Dodge dealer for the fee of xxxxx dollars after picking up my car and driving it a hundred fifty miles away from the dealer to the coast when I put on my part break it made a strange noise I didn't figure it out the pad was shot on my left rear caliper for the park brake went back to the dealer they want to build me for new caliper new rotor and the cables obviously frayed I'm very disappointed that they didn't catch this on the inspection they also need for me they hadn't had the wheels off I was curious how they flush the brake system without removing the wheels no answer the question is shouldn't have caught this all upon their inspection??

Crazy how an example with that many miles & 2 wrecks is asking for more than Michael Andretti's car that sold for $10 million.

Mr. Bean's really only has the appeal of being an ultra-rare, 1-owner car.

He probably is. But he came up in our Ramblings thread out-of-nowhere (Justn probably invited him) and said he has his MBA from Haas B School (Berkeley), then got is JD at Stanford Law, then decided to get his MD (Probably at Haaavaaad or Johnny Hopsins), finished his residency and is now a neonatalogist but practices all medicine when he's with Médecins Sans Frontières half the year. I mean, it could be true, but you guys know what kind of characters have come across these parts.

I work with someone with a JD/MBA. The MD part seems a bit unrealistic unless he was Doogie Houser or is 60

Gotta believe.


Just like how I have complete faith in BoostedJack. You hear that he has a PhD in particle physics and minoring in neurosurgery from all the Ivy League schools? All of them.

No wonder he's so rich.

Heh...speaking of the AMG GT we were yammering about, Mercedes released an amusing Superbowl ad for the car.

Posted it in the model thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/automot.../#post15313958
