Why do you have a Jaguar Slea per Ornament on your Kia?

Let me guess - car was just driven so the engine (and hood) are warm?

To project class.

Also, I’m stealing that.

Of course that happens, too. But this morning just because. She’s pretty sure it’s her car and always camps on it unless it’s too cold.

If you’re a cat lover, you want a convertible with a canvas top, or as that fat black cat who jumps off my car every morning might describe it, a “cat hammock, so comfortable!”

When I was dead set on a convertible, I was wondering how that would work out, especially if I got a tan top. She never scratches the paint. I guess I’ll find out with the next car.

My MIL has a E550 AMG Cab and the cat absolutely loves it. The hair sticks to the top a lot though...

I came very close to buying an E-class cab, not AMG. I’m sure Scooby would have thanked me.

The hair just means you have to drive faster when you take it out to blow it off.

Yeah this one is the E550 AMG Sport I guess. Not a full AMG but has the nicer wheels, some nice interior bit, a little bit different suspension, and a nice front lip. Also last year of the V8.

When I drove the regular E, I thought it had decent pep, but it sure would have benefited from the V8.

The 400+ HP is too quick imo. I’ve gotten 3 too many tickets to drive that daily.

I understand. My 420 just got me a nice citation last week.

I’m thinking an IS-F over a WRX but that extra 200 HP is kinda scary for my insurance

I’d take an IS-F first myself and just think of my wife’s eye rolls every time the speed needle creeps up.

My wife doesn’t even eye roll anymore. She’s so used to me driving when we bolted up pikes peak she was calm as could be.

Well done. Someday I’ll get to that point.
