    BAD. ASS.

    I'll take mine in green and gold, and can you print a picture of Brett Favre's face on the driver's seat?

    The $99 is fully refundable/transferable. Not a gamble.

    But if you DO want to gamble, Local Motors & the Rally Fighter will be in Vegas for SEMA in Nov. We can gamble there.

    Email me for an invite to the "Intro" party.

    You can call me "Ari".

    The swoopy body and the steep angles of the fenders leave me feeling conflicted. I assume it's for suspension travel, but it still looks strange to me.

    @acarr260: It's incongruous as off road vehicles generally do not need great aerodynamics but need reinforced bodies from all the bouncing. So, they tend to be blocky rather than swoopy. This vehicle does the opposite by taking an off road platform and adding a swoopy body, which presumably is for style rather than to enhance its off road capabilities.

    It's the new BMW Baja Z4!

    Also, will Local Motors be asking me for more money in a few months, then start production, then ask me for more money, then raise the price, then threaten if I don't kick in 50% of the purchase price sight unseen I will lose my reservation? I've seen this movie before.

    I said this in Part I of this review and it bears repeating:


    The ML series is to Mercedes what grits are to the Waffle House...painfully bland, but necessary for profit margins.


    People will buy this. I question if they are really human, but who am I to judge. Because of this fact, Mercedes is going to make money on it. Hopefully a lot of money. Because then us commoners can still have a chance at owning one of their better cars.

    My commute home runs through the really ritzy, isolationist part of town. These are like the Honda Accord there. I wish I had the time and/or clean record to sit across from the middle school and take pictures of all of them in the carpool line.


    My view is this: If you've got money, buy something f*cking unique. It amazes me how people with means are just as much crowd-followers as those of us who have less choice in the matter.

    You're on part 3 of this review, and that... thing... inspires so much "meh" from me that I honestly did not even notice that the first two parts of this review even happened. And that is absolutely no shot against Matt or his lovely photography or writing, (although there should be one of those showing up any minute...) it is simply the lack of anything even remotely interesting in that car. It has no personality, it has no character, and it's not entertaining in the slightest.


    In fact, based on that, now that Matt's married, I think it's the perfect vehicle for him.


    (There it is...)

    The Matt joke caught me totally off guard.


    I was totally waiting for a Wes joke, so that I could point out, for the record, that it wasn't me that time.


    And, for the record: It was all Dearthair, Matt, I swear!!!
