My old username !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Apologies to AMGtech, and all who thought it was you wishing to buy the 8 Series.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I still want the 8 Series, don’t get me wrong, but my skillset could be described, optimistically, as rather lacking.

^anyway, Is the MR2 Blue Enough?

Fancy trawl work on that concrete. I can’t imagine how long that all took...

I need a lower camera angle to really emphasize the texture & depth of field with that concrete...

It’s blue, if it was green it would die.

The stripes are in the lower pic but not the upper. Did you add them recently?

Do you get to California much? That’s pretty common down there. I almost think they do it with a machine...

Added them and have since removed them; I had extra gaffer’s tape left over at an autocross and I decided to have some fun with it :D

So you added the extra hp for cross, but deducted it so you wouldn’t go wild and get in trouble on the street. Smart.

Kinja'd!!!

2006 C 230 with all the AMG factory options; suspension, wheels n tires, grille, etc. It’s 100% bone stock. All the handling & fun benefits of an actual AMG, without the fuel consumption & repair bills.

It’s still the base 2.5L V6 but it’s a stick shift, hence my old username ///AMG = AutoMatic Gearbox. No “real” AMG is manual.

It says “Affalterbach” with the coat of arms on the steering wheel, so it’s totally got AMG cred too, bro...

I’ve been to California... twice. LA and Joshua Tree. Analysis: it’s hot.

I *might* have left them on for a week after crossing the auto...

Just looked too good and you really can feel the +5 horsepower with such low stock output.

I feel like I haven't heard anything about this!! That's beautiful, seems like you've got the best of all worlds. Excuse me while I browse manual Mercedes'...

It is hot. I used to live in San Diego (not quite as hot) and I came here to escape the oppressive sunshine. Sadly, I was lied to, as it’s far too sunny and hot here for my comfort. I should have moved to SE Alaska.

If you hung out in the city much, you would probably have seen this elsewhere. I never even realized it was unusual.

It doesn’t help that every town in Eastside in 5-10 degrees hotter than Everett in the summer. When I used to work in Snoqualmie Parkway every morning in the summer — and with all the trees totally mowed down and replaced with asphalt — you had to start removing layers by 7:30am.

I moved to this side from Bainbridge Island and it was still too hot there, in spite of it still being mostly forest. Forks might have been endurable if it wasn’t for all the vampire garbage.

I didn’t even see that post until right now, but I had fun reading through the comments!

Love the MR2 BTW.

Oh hey yes. Can confirm was confused. Still a terrible idea that I fully support... But without access to a lift in uhhh maybe let that one go.
