Aka fat and fast taxi.

Is your life really that boring??

See, I'm not the only one that thinks that if stuck with a basically boring car, it might as well be a wagon. Going all the way, so to speak.

Meh. That's just another boring taxi, that happens to be fast. And especially being a Mercedes, there's probably an 80% likelihood that most of them ever made were used as taxis.

I'd prefer the 'wagon version. Then the four doors make a bit more snse. Although 2-door wagons are obviously nicer yet.

That's much mo gooder. Excellent choice for a gradual transition, 2pac.

Like 'Trooper said, it was nothing out of the ordinary in Los Angeles. Much more than weekly it seemed like. So to answer your question, I have only seen one outside of L.A. On the other hand, I've been part of a couple, but couldn't see them since the cops were behind me.

Congratulations, 2pac! I hope that by "new hellcat" you mean the real thing, not a sedan with a good engine in it.

Well, they used to be. And possibly are again. Recently I've bought some other brands, but time will tell how those batteries hold up.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but the four Optimas I put in my toy hauler in '99 have never seen an AGM "tuned" charger or maintainer. They've been fed by solar panels (with a controller, of course) when on the road, or a basic BatteryMINDer maintainer when parked. Well, since '13 it's been solar...

Umm, yeah. Didn't I write that in the post you quoted? And to nitpick, it gets changed to DC before it leaves the alternator, not in the cable going to the battery.

Unless you swapped in a generator, your alternator puts out AC, right? Hence its name. Which is then converted to DC, much like with a charger maintainer.

Nobody said that the healing process is fast.

There's no known cure, Hellcatcfp. Only way to reenter society with some dignity is to trade them in for 2-doors.

If that was entirely true, we'd need to change alternators when switching to an AGM battery. Those fancy Lithium batteries can be a different story.

It's not the four points, as much as what they're all tied to. There's a reason why post cars were favored for drag racing, giving six connections to that common point.

You didn't tell him that you have two extra doors to use as air brakes?

When I did the bi-weekly "commute" through Arizona, there was a Camaro that I often had to play cat and mouse with. Good thing I wasn't in a 'Cat, or I would've been in trouble.

I hate it when people slow down, presumably because I came up on them so quickly. Then it can take a while before I can pass them. 2-door cop cars? Wasn't there a couple pictured in earlier posts?

Yes. It's a better getaway car, so it doesn't really matter if I used a condom or not.
