@charlie_grafton Oh, they care. They care enough that they're actively trying to make it harder to repair older vehicles in order to push owners out of old cars. Except the owner of the 15 year old Merc isn't buying a new one, they're just pushing them into a used Lexus.

@Neondancer I would imagine MB couldn't care less about secondary market owners at this point.

Andrea Petersen@Neondancer·20h

Uh, not to scare anyone, but in the last month, I've had three Mercedes owner clients pass away. I really feel like the brand is slamming into a wall of owner attrition...

It’s bad, but can we talk about the variety of font sizes used?

@charlie_grafton Cars do not stay on lease forever. Where do you think they go when they come off those leases?

English

Charlie Grafton@charlie_grafton·19h

@Neondancer The current dominant mercedes "owner" demographic leases. Why would they be taking it to an indie shop.

Historically, when I make clothes, I do it purely off vibes. No math, no sketch, just see it in my head, cut pieces and assemble. Wood is annoyingly hard and can not be smooshed or stretched to work.

English

Andrea Petersen@Neondancer·2d

I'm so irritated with prices for coffee tables that I am in serious danger of saying fuck it and designing my own. I can see it in my head, I know I can build it, but I can't do the math for it and wood is not forgiving like fabric is.

@andrewkrok Low miles manual wagon in the US: basically costs it's weight in gold. My low miles manual wagon purchased in the UK: $2k, plus $3k in shipping and a transport. Buying my Marea was more than goofy fun, it made sense.

English

andrew krok, regrettably@andrewkrok·2d

car prices in the UK make no god damn sense this is $20,000 in the US, easily at this point it'd be cheaper to buy a car in the UK and then buy a fucking boat to float it over here

TV's James May urged me to bid on this Toyota Century. I wavered because there seemed to be a lot of interest and I assumed bidding would soar into the teens. But no. Someone got a bargain. And it wasn't me. Bah!

@LUDENClassics My friend has a manual swapped and tuned 360 Modena with a healthy number of miles. Basically he made it a 360 Challenge Stradale and dear god, it is INCREDIBLY GOOD

The more time goes on, the more tempting a 360 is. Never used to like them

@FvdE I just don't trust a mass-market pint. I like a good stout on occasion, but beer is best when it's local

#Fourcoolthings 17.03.26 Stupid quick cars of their time that nobody bought. 1) Renault Safrane BiTurbo 2) MG Maestro Turbo 3) Lancia Thema Turbo - everyone knows the 8.32 but nobody thinks of these. 4) Lexus IS F - mad quick Japanese weapon that evaded the popular conscience.

@stonewall1312 @genderatio I got this face today when I explained that we had no record of ever doing an oil service on his air cooled 911 and thus I couldn't look up how much oil we previously used. I looked up quantity for him, but he refused to believe we never serviced the car...
