    What is the best free adblocker for iPhones?

    This might be a novel concept - I do not agree with your american disease. If I want to purchase a product, I will get as much info as I can - I don't rely on the american disease way of informing myself. My research is much more relevant and accurate to what I want and not on what some other...

    Pity it doesn't separate car rental companies and company cars - that will be the more realistic result.

    Most reliable luxury car?

    As with any car - do some research on it. My client had an s so it's hearsay from him. I worked on his 2.8 gtx and he told me what merc was charging him for repairs each time I was there. He had it for image in my opinion but he did enjoy driving it when there were no issues. The issues were...

    You have to actually drive these land barges - it will be one of the best rides that you ever have. Anybody can drive any car into the ground - the RR makes it easier to do that. The acceleration is extremely addictive. Cayenne/Toureg/bmw/lr/rr are all very expensive to repair, they are big...

    The ladies diesel bmw's that I mostly see are the m50d - your toy ain't gonna do nuffink to them, well maybe a trackhawk. You are confused with the 80's turbo diesels - those were gutless. Most turbo diesels are not that bad power wise in standard trim. Take one for a test drive.
