I will say the average European male is a lot more open to sucking than the average American male.

I was pulled over while traveling home from the west coast about 10 years ago and the officer had the ticket already written. He had to go back and radio in to have someone check it so since that was out he then wrote me a bullshit ticket for speeding since I wasted his time or some horseshit gently caress the police yo.

Actually, I know that with Mercs at least, people often do convert over to a European standard eventually. But we don't have as many junkyards and Mercedes Germany NOS prices are nothing to sneeze at. So it might take a while and they do drive the car around in the meantime.

In 2007, you could go into a dealership with $32,000 (Australian) and buy an excellent, rear-wheel-drive, 6-cylinder family sedan with good styling and solid dynamics. A Ford BF Falcon XT was a great car, and it was even available with a manual transmission! Or you could by a PT Cruiser, which was worse in every conceivable way

Yes but the falcon looks like a futuristic electric space shaver while the PT looks like how cars are supposed to look back in my day let me tell you about this car I had in it must have been oh 1957 and let me tell you....

On the way in this morning, I saw a big body Cadillac with 13" Daytons on it. To make it even worse, one was what looked like a blow out and the guy parked it in the center area between moving traffic and a moving onramp. Brilliant decisions being made all around.

It was a late model, like mid 2000s Caddy that had no business with 13" spoked wheels on it. One of them big fat bloated looking Caddies.
