@@jordanbuttkevitz6895 Don't feel bad about renting. After being a homeowner for five years, I plan to sell my house and go back to renting next year. If you don't have a family, you don't need a house. Houses trap you into debt with a mortgage, and turn you into a mindless consumer. You will be spending too much of your $$$$ on house stuff, like a lawn equipment and supplies, repairs, home insurance, property taxes, and too many other things. I miss being a renter, and I miss all the money I've blown on housing expenses. In my Midwestern city, there are a few apartment complexes set up like ranch-style condos, with two car garages, so I plan to move into one of those. Don't know if you can find something similar in California.

"This overpriced piece" is the roadster version of a "not so cheap" premium sports car, but not a stupid plastic bullshit vehicle! Of course it's an expensive vehicle, because it's a Mercedes-AMG Roadster, which is way more expensive than just the coupe version! For example, just compare it with some Aston Martin convertible versions, and you will see a dramatically higher price for these British cars, which have the price of "two houses", but not only one house. And the build quality of these Brits is not as good as the AMG... At least they have a German engine too...;-) What did you expect? A price like a Corvette C8 for a 100% AMG "piece" of German build quality and technology??? You can't have hese things for a stupidly low Corvette price... you annoying clown!!

Hey, how about that: for example the new Aston Martin Vantage Roadster costs much more than the AMG GT C Roadster, but isn't nearly as powerful, cool looking or solidly built as the AMG. The GT C Roadster is a way more competent and better built open sports car. You should compare this AMG with similar competitor sports cars, but not only look at its price. Why is this Aston Martin much more expensive than a much better sports car rival from AMG??? Which by the way has the "original" 4 liter V8 biturbo engine. If I can choose, I decide for the original, but not the "copy" from Aston Martin, which has just a customer engine from AMG.

The way power comes on and stays on is unlike any other car. It’s too fast for American roads and the only way to get the most of that car is too use it on track. Which as the salesman told me when I drove it. Glad you all got to enjoy it for a little while and I hope that DCT issue isn’t common. See you for the next video and I hope your press car isn’t as beaten.

I have satin paint on my bike, and it looks good, but doing a quick waterless wash on a motorcycle is pretty painless, and none of the panels are big enough to show any small variations in luster.

Journalists are often BRUTAL on press cars. I have no doubts some of them were up to some fuckery when driving this car. It also might just be a lemon.

Imagine how many launches this thing has endured with it being a press car. Moreover, that rear area damage may have caused some issues as well.

You see: OMG look at those individual rear wheel steer motors, what amazing attention to detail! I see: OMG imagine the cost of replacement when it all goes wrong 3 months out of warranty

This and the insane repair and maintenance costs are why he suggests it only as a lease.

The analogy I use (coming from pc gaming) is rear wheel steer feels like adding mouse acceleration. The average person can convince themself its helping them but anyone with actual practice and muscle memory wants accuracy. Unless you have spent thousands of hours purely on a rear wheel steer platform it's just going to throw off all of the instincts and muscle memory you've built up til now.

The most exciting part about driving that car on the street is being seen in it. Women who wouldn't have dated you on a bet are suddenly surprised at how damn good looking you really are.

The cost is not a big deal. This is far better in looks and sound than the new 911 Carrera 4S convertible. I’d gladly pay the extra 20-25k it would cost to have this Mercedes instead of the Porsche.

Most modern Superbikes have a long 1st gear and much shorter 2nd-6th for circuits. Reason being, too get up to high speeds and then remain in close gearing for the rest of the time that you are actually moving. I'd imagine that's what AMG is going for with the alternate gearing in other trims.

Nope tesla doesnt make everything irrelevant, manual gearbox cars even the slowest are still best for real drivers, not lazy people
