I remember back in the day, a friend had a 440 cubic inch Barracuda. When he floored it, you could actually see the gas gauge move towards "empty".

Though I complain sometimes about cost of repairs, parts and fuel on this car, no other car comes close to the ride and comfort it provides. It's difficult to go to a lesser car once you have an opportunity to get behind the wheel of an S class.
