Such a fun, underrated daily driver

2025 GLB 35

It’s sad the new upcoming replacement will more than likely be electric…mild hybrid is the best of both worlds. (Instant torque and no turbo lag)

Rims question / advice

I have these 18 inch rims on my S650, and I’m not a fan of them at all…🥴

Instead of spending $2,000 on a new pair of rims, has anyone powder coated or painted the same ones I have black? I’d be curious to look how the final result came out

The auditory system is one of, if not the most under researched major organ in the human body

The ear is one of the most neglected major organs in medical research, especially when it comes to chronic auditory disorders. Tinnitus currently has no cure, and there is no established treatment that reliably eliminates tinnitus or directly reduces its volume for everyone. For many people, the only thing an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist or Audiologist will tell them is to “habituate” to the noise, which in other words, means get used to it.

On the other hand, Hyperacusis, especially hyperacusis involving sound-induced pain, is another severely disabling condition with limited evidence-based treatment options. There is no cure or standardized treatment protocol that works for everyone.

More funding needs to be directed toward auditory research. We need Ear, Nose and Throat specialists to better understand the biological mechanisms behind tinnitus, hyperacusis, and sound-induced pain and develop treatments that target the underlying causes rather than simply teaching patients to live with the symptoms.

People shouldn’t have to accept permanent tinnitus, debilitating sound sensitivity, or sound-induced pain as conditions that medicine simply can’t do much about. These conditions deserve serious research, clinical trials, and investment into actual disease-modifying treatments and cures.

Ear, Nose & Throat surgeons should stop prescribing so called “sound therapy” to patients dealing with physical pain

It doesn’t work for pain Hyperacusis. Noise doesn’t cure pain & there has been countless worsenings attributed to it

Doctors need to hurry up and invent a cure / treatment

There is no approved treatment or cures. That’s insane. 0 funding too. These doctors need to start seriously developing something that isn’t playing noise on a speaker.

The best looking four-door sedan ever made

2010-2013 Aston Martin Rapide.

Is this car reliable? I’m seriously considering buying either this, a 4.7 Sportshift Vantage, or a DB9.

What a car.

Mercedes-AMG GTR.

What a beautiful piece of engineering. I do love the new ones, especially now that they’re available with 2+2 seating and can be optioned with hybrid assist and reach 1,000 pound-feet of torque, but the old one just has a much more aggressive look to it.

Vantage 4.7L Reliability question

Is this car reliable? I’m gonna be in the market for one next year and want to know if it’s reliable. My friend has a 4.3K Vantage from 2005 and it’s his daily and hasn’t had a single issue in two years. I’d buy one with 35,000 miles or less. I also would like to know if it is quiet inside.

Also I wanted to know about the sport shift I system. Does it act like a standard automatic. Or is it problematic to use?

Any insight would be appreciated

Lotus Evora N/A or Vantage 4.7L - what’s the better daily driver?

So next year I’ll be in the market to purchase one of these two cars. Which one is better suited for daily driving? I primarily am wanting to know which one is quieter and easier to calmly drive, as well as which one has cheaper maintenance.

I appreciate any answer!

Im convinced the S650 EcoBoost is the perfect daily driver

I have found out first hand that the S650 Mustang EcoBoost is the perfect daily driver for someone who wants a sports car but also practicality. It’s about as long as a Mercedes C-Class, so it has plenty of space without being ridiculously large. It also isn’t too low, with ground clearance around the same as a Tesla Model 3, making it easy to drive every day. You get four seats, and the back seats can actually fit adults.

The interior is also really well crafted, with modern, nice-looking screens and plenty of technology. It also scored a 5-star rating in its NHTSA crash test, which gives me peace of mind.

Performance-wise, it’s seriously impressive too. According to Ford, it achieves a 4.5 seconds 0–60, combined with 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. That makes it a genuinely sporty car with tons of low-end power. In fact, the Mustang S650 EcoBoost is the fastest brand new car you can buy for under $40k.

On top of that, the fuel economy is pretty decent for a performance car. A V8 would be much more expensive to daily-drive and would be catastrophic for the wallet at the gas pump.
Overall, it’s an incredibly well-rounded car: fast, practical, modern, relatively efficient, and reliable. Mine has given me zero problems, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better daily driver.
