For me a more appropriate analogy would be that Tyler, being afflicted with poor memory, has the entertaining habit of forgetting the fact that the fence he is looking at is an electric variety and proceeds to urinate on said fence. Later on, as he continues his walk along the fence line he once again forgets about the “tingly feature” of his walk’s companion and gives in to nature’s inevitable urge.

We were doing one a week on cars still in warranty once the '15/16 model years started seeing high rates of failures back in '18/19. Sports cars aren't exempt either.

M113K is 5.4L. The wagons or estates are "S211", not "W211" chassis. Your explanation that aging AMG is unreliable without any details is simply untrue. Tyler's car had electrical problems which would be universal to any Mercedes, not specific to AMG.

I’m not sure if that can be said for all of them. Here in the UK, they’re used loads for private taxis etc and that’s exactly what my late dad used to do for a living.

They had consumables go out like alternators and suspension components but weren’t too bad. That being said, all of his were diesels, being E220’s, E270’s or (his favourite) E320’s

I was sitting at a red light and a drunk driver hit me without ever slowing down. I think he might've been high too. I was extremely upset with the situation because it totaled the car. He gave it a nice trunk delete. I miss that car every day. Oddly enough, it was a car I always loved growing up. I've always had a thing for grandpa cars that scoot. Nothing like luxury AND speed.
