    Very Cool, as my grandparents and dad always said, we never stop learning and get better with each try. Just doing what you did is far more than most would do. Way to go!

    Very cool Surreal1272, looking forward to the finished look. Remember to measure twice, cut once!

    @FordCosworth @surreal1272 Let keep the political in the political section. In regards to a general race base, if you guys want to debate statistics then also do it there. To help you both have your own opinion on race, go here: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=922 This is the Bureau of Justice gov web site with all the PDF's you can review for your own take on who assaults who or hurts who. Just so you both know, Asian, Pacific Islands, Hawaiian have the least amount of assault, rape, murder, robbery, etc. on each other and on other races. Middle of the Pack is Black, Hispanic, south american, african in regards to the same issues. Highest is caucasian for assault, rape, murder, robbery, etc. Interesting note is that across all religions when broken down the % is pretty even. So no one religion versus another is worse. Exception is Terrorist and this is also pretty even focused across the various versions but has a spike among HATE GROUPS. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO RANDOM THOUGHTS THREAD. Leave the politics in the political area please to you BOTH! Debate to your hearts content there. Leave the rest of this to healthy debate about auto's and the industry. Good News, My Gas seems to be gone!

    https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/mercedes-benz-g63-amg-6x6-six-wheel-debuts.html Based on this story and others which I found. The 6x6 that you talk about would have never happened if not for the Australian Army that approached BENZ and paid to have it created to their spec with a hefty Turbo Diesel. This is when AMG then took it and ripped out the diesel and made a limited run glorified version that was bought up by the Arabs mostly. Mercedes builds great auto's but I will challenge you that they build the best! They have just as many failures and especially among their bleeding edge tech that is fine as long as the auto is under warranty. Luxury car Brand, Yes as a part of the over all GLOBAL AUTO COMPANY that builds from Eco Box FWD appliances to Ubber Luxury brands. Among brand snobs especially in the asian rim you find MB to be considered a Luxury brand only, but then they mostly just sell their high end. America used to be Luxury but now more and more say it is a universal auto company unless again you talk to brand or badge peeps. Europe, that is pretty clear, They see MB as a normal auto company just like Toyota, GM, VW. You need to accept the reality that MB to grow had to stop being a Luxury only auto company and is a global brand that sells from cheap ass FWD Appliances to Commercial Trucks and Vans, Class 8 semi's to luxury and ubber luxury auto's. Just to be very clear, no company is ever the Best! Every company goes through good and bad times and builds crap and what is some of the best options out on the market. MB has build many nice auto's and just as equally as many lemons like every other auto company.

    Makes one wonder how much we depreciate it also based on how much is leased by people wanting to pose as being wealthy. Leasing I believe while having it's clear business points also tends to exaggerate the market of so called buyers.

    Gotta love old Photo's of our Auto Past. Racing on the roof of the Fiat plant in Paris 1923: 1970 Porsche assembly line: Auto Polo, I want them to bring this back, looks like a hoot to watch:

    Yes, two stories are blended here. Ford was all about moving small car production to Mexico, but the drop in sales and changes have changed that and this is what POTUS was all about. Ford is now looking to move small part production to Mexico which is another story. Be interesting to hear how POTUS will feel about this. Especially when those plants are building for other markets.

    Reality hitting home Europe Socialist system is a failure, The gov cannot keep everyone employed and a perfect example of the Union Socialist killing approach is that Mercedes-benz is moving c-class production to the US, South Africa and the asian rim and of course the German Unions are scrambling to try and keep everyone unionized and keep the jobs in Germany. You cannot afford to keep paying everyone on average $67 dollars an hour or $139,360 a year. This makes no sense when you look at the value of a engineer, assembly line worker and janitor. The over paid union protected jobs by the gov will kill companies. Right to work is a better way to go.

    I like this idea, GMC could also do what many of us have always said from the very beginning, Hummer it should have been an Off Road package for GMC. This with a GMC Grill would do wonders for the lineup and big bump in sales.

    I would take one for some play time fun!

    Airbnb comes with an R8 for play! Seems you can now book yourself into this bnb in death valley and have access for free to an R8 with the 80 acres of lake bed as your supercar driving playground. Very Cool! Story

    Interesting, MB is stressing under the weight of Union costs. This story says they are moving the building of the C-class to the Alabama plant and now the German Union is trying to unionize them in what appears to locals as an attempt to keep the jobs and production in Germany. MB is moving productions to South Africa and the asian rim reducing production in Germany and the German Union is ramping up to fight. It would seem the high cost is a factor and one has to wonder how long before someone trys to introduce a bill in their parlement to allow right to work free zones? Right now all of Germany is a Union required job work area and that just sucks IMHO. http://www.al.com/business/index.ssf/2013/08/post_63.html Interesting reading of what is going on over seas and in Alabama. WHY DO I BRING THIS UP? I think Cadillac not only has quality products, but what little they make with such high ATPs is scaring the Germans and you will see more and more production move out of Germany as they have to fight at all levels from Eco box to ubber luxury on price and quality. The cat is out of the bag and what the Germans had in the 90's and early 2000's is over. Welcome to a New Day Everyone! Quality exists all over and not just in Germany. Except for Italy, garbage still built there.

    Interesting how you mention the VW group and yet do not point out MB's own profit or lack of profit in that ultra category. Maybe the fact that has been pointed out so many times before, the heavy discounting, the fact that MB leads the word as the number one leased auto, etc. Just accept that MB is a global auto company that competes from the basic Eco box auto and commercial van to ubber luxury and as such is no longer a luxury only brand. They are a global company competing against Toyota, VW, GM, Ford, etc.

    Nice Ocnblu, the photographer did an outstanding job of using bounce lighting to highlight the side profile, the body lines, plus the warm color just makes it over all an outstanding looking Spark!

    Lets Just admit it, that society has moved on from their love affair with cars to a love affair with CUVs.

    SMK, Without the whoring out of the E-Class as the Taxi of Europe and all the Chevy Low end stuff that they sell in droves, all your high end stuff would not exist! That so called high end stuff does not bring in the profits or keep all the lights on. Many have tried to explain in multiple ways and very clearly how and what is needed first and yet when an Auto beats your MB equal, you move the field goal post to meet your needs. An auto company does something different than what MB does and you state it as a failure. MB has a failure like their PULLMAN series auto and you give some another excuse. If it is not done the MB way, it is clearly a failure, not right, wasted $, etc.etc.etc. You're so high on MB that nothing else will ever equal them and in fact if you ever do detox, you might just realize MB is not that much different than the other big boys that have been around just as long.

    Very cool and nice and smooth CCAP41 I would suggest one thing, state how big your video files are. The first one as an example was 624mb and took a couple min to download. That way people who might not have the space for such a big file will not download it. Over all nice job on the install and nice recording of the video.

    Calazone I finish my left over Pizza for dinner tonight!

    Exactly what everyone was saying just before WWI and WWII. Interesting.
