    Quite nice.

    I miss BTCC on TV. You've gotta love cars which have lights, signals, wipers, doors, etcetera, which are racing.

    I always enjoyed the first lap technique of drivers trying to fold or knock the mirrors off competitor's cars. That takes a delicate touch, if you plan on not being penalized.

    On the basis of this post alone, I have decided that the next time you're in SoCal, Mr. Smith, I'll be buying you a beer.

    @Six Flags Over Tomsk: Don't make idle threats. I like beer, and I'm going to be in town for the LA show...

    (Regardless, thanks. Hell of a gesture.)

    Super keen and rad. More! More! More! I recommend muting the German Touring Car vid and sync the sound to Mouse on Mars - Kanu instead. Equally Germanic and much more tolerable. Can someone take care of that? Thanks.

    @mercury_marine: Yeah, the song is a bit much. Just got the translation of the chorus from a friend of mine, though: "Verdammnt lange her" means "damned long ago." Neat.

    What a cool video. I love how serious those cars look compared to the stock models.

    That, and they turn in that other direction, too.

    I once watched a TV travel program about Greece that profiled a beach club on Mykonos's Paradise Beach called "Super Paradise." The show's host was standing outside the little fence that roped off the club grounds from the public beach, while the owner was inside the fence. The host asked the man what the club's big draw was, when the whole area was breathtaking, and mostly accessible for free. The club owner said, "You are, indeed, in Paradise, but I"—gesturing to the fenced-in square in which he stood—"I am in SUPER Paradise!"

    Wait, "perfect" is no longer perfect enough?

    This reminds me of when Just Right cereal was made "new and improved" and yet somehow remained "just right."

    "Superfect" makes my Firefox spell check groan.

    I'll take one.

    In 2025, when it's suffered 95%+ depreciation.

    Mercedes, thank you for making quality, luxurious, beater cars.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son: Exactly.

    Really, anyone that buys a new E-class (non-AMG) is a fool. However, without these fools, I suppose we wouldn't have a selection of luxury beaters.

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.:

    Exactly.

    As a bonus, they're so expensive, initially, the original owner tends to keep them up quite well and amortizes the cost over a longer period, so a 12 year old Benz/BMW/Jag/other high-end ride has seen less neglect/abuse than a 4 year old commoner's car.

    However, I still kinda want a 2010 CTS-V in about 2013-2015.
