I had a 1981 Buick Regal with the 231 (3.8) V6. What a dog that was.

damn near all 1981 cars were dogs

that year the corvette with 350 cubes had 190 hp

so 6 cylinders were going to be much less

I was driving Caprice Classics in the mid 80s after college
They all had 350s

One of those years the fastest production vehicle was a Chevy Suburban, because the emissions controls were lighter.

I had the 4.3L V6 in my 1995 Chevy Blazer, that was a quick little engine as well.  It handled all the towing I needed at the time, which was taking my 19' runabout to and from the local area lakes.  That boat had the exact same Vortec V6 and it was VERY fast because at 19' it was also very light.

Current boat is 25' and probably weighs twice as much.  Of course it also has an 8.1L V8 engine that generates 450 hp.

My coach has an MB midsized SUV, I think it's the 350, he likes it a lot.  It's nice inside.  It's a size too big for us I think.

Had a session today and I'm whupped.  Had lunch after at a place called "Marie's" which is solid Italian sandwich/pizza kind of low key fun and crowded place, dined outside.

Food taste better outside.

That's the GLE. Available (now) as the GLE 350, 450, 550 and 580. 

Also available with AMG, at two very different price levels.

I cliecked on their ad.  All the car maker's ads have the things I'm interested in in fine print buried.  I'm not a typical shopper.

Hey car people. I've never leased a car. However, with car prices being abnormally high, does it make sense to lease for a couple years? They are giving me like 5 grand more for my car than what I paid for it 3 years ago, which is cool, but I feel like a dummy just dumping it into another car. 

Of course, I felt this way buying a house 5 years ago, and now my house is worth double what we paid for it, so joke's on me.
