Here's something else you can do...

Challenge them to a flat-out top speed run on a deserted road in the West or the Southwest. I guarantee you, that Taurus will overheat after 10 minutes of being run at its maximum speed. U.S. family sedan cooling systems aren't designed to take on Autobahn running, like your W126 S-class is.

And besides, if you've beaten them in races in your turbodiesel, why are they even whining about anything? They are the ones that drive plastic American "secretary cars".
